The Two Jacks convene for the first show of The New Year. Top of the discussion is China&#39;s swift rejection of its Dynamic Covid policy as the country opens up. Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy finds it&#39;s 15th time the charm as he&#39;s elected Speaker of the House. Putin is all out of bargaining chips while locally the Two Jacks argue over the best way to make the Voice referendum succeed. In sport, Australia&#39;s Test squad for India is discussed and we ask why is Melbourne Victory still in the comp?

The Two Jacks - Episode 12 - Lockdowns - Did They Work?

Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a &#39;shadow pandemic&#39; of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics. From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan &#39;the man&#39; Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style. The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let&#39;s watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho. Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.
