028 - Union Funded Rehab (ft. Steph Thuesen @ HACSU)
I yarn with Steph Thuesen @ HACSU about the exciting new union-funded rehab funding model being proposed for Victoria, and already underway in NSW!  I'm fucken pumped for this, because it sounds great for people needing rehab, and great for the union movement.  Video on NSW's Foundation House:  https://youtu.be/ocO5MfaL0xY  Support ya boy on Patreon:  https://patreon.com/tomtanuki

025 - Indigenous Sovereignty Activism ft. Karlie Noon & Tim Buchanan
I speak to Gamilaraay astrophysicist, astronomer & legend Karlie Noon and Wiradjuri activist, writer & legend Tim Buchanan about INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY ACTIVISM off the back of friendlyjordies' stupid comments recently.  Karlie tells me why trees - and more broadly, Indigenous sovereignty - is not the antithesis of science, coz she'd know. Tim talks about what Indigenous sovereignty activism is and why it's so important for myopic electoral/parliamentary politics types to get on board with it. FFS I LOVED THIS YARN.  Links:  Karlie Noon: https://twitter.com/karlie_moon  Tim Buchanan:  https://twitter.com/tbuch2 / https://www.facebook.com/Darsius-110629810776965

This episode I speak to Tara Leong of the Nutrition Guru & The Chef page (and 99% Fad Free podcast) about her 8 years of warning people about Pete Evans the dangerous nutrition quack, and to Cam Smith of Yeah Nah Pasaran and Hypothetical Institute podcasts about his 2020 of warning people about Pete Evans the redpilled Q kook.  Now we've got Pete the wellness neo-Nazi.  Why didn't the world listen earlier?  (Pictured: Cam Smith's bottle of Pete Evans sauce.)   Links:   Nutrition Guru & The Chef page:  https://www.thenutritionguruandthechef.com/   Cam Smith Twitter:  https://twitter.com/sexenheimer   SUPPORT/DOMINATE ME ON PATREON:  https://www.patreon.com/tomtanuki

023 - Aussie Cults (ft. Sarah Steel of Let's Talk About Sects)
I speak to Sarah Steel of the brilliant Let's Talk About Sects pod about Aussie cults, and we dig into the differences and commonalities in deep diving into political extremists and cults.  I love the LTAS pod so much, and was so stoked to explore the ways in which the things we both do might intersect!   *Let's Talk About Sects pod:  https://www.ltaspod.com/   * White Traitor - 16-25 November:  https://melbournefringe.com.au/event/white-traitor/   * Support ya boy:  https://www.patreon.com/tomtanuki
