Hopefully it's still listenable and you enjoy hearing me and Zac say goodbye. Huge immense thankyous to all our listeners, friends, supporters, patreons, snackerpals, well-wishers and onlookers, and es…

We're very sad to announce that Auspol Snackpod is coming to an end. We've got a regular news episode for you this week, then next week will be some kind of special finale episode.

Zac's been taken to a black ops site on a small island, so we're releasing last month's bonus episode this week! It's a fun, loose and long one today because we dived as deep as we could into some whacky (or are they??) Australian conspiracy theories. As the basis of our research we used @John_Macgowan's "definitive Australian conspiracy theory ice…

We had an election! Not sure if you heard. This episode is in two parts, the first part on Election Day and the second part after the results have come in. It's a loose & fun one where we just shoot the shit. And we also have an extra special Political Pupdate! Support Snackpod financially: www.patreon.com/AuspolSnackpod If you can't or don't want …

It's a super special excellent amazing NOT AN ELECTION special episode! We are heartily sick of the boring, reactionary, useless and misguided policies that are being floated, proposed and discussed during this election campaign. So we thought we would reach out to some of our extended Snackpod family who work or volunteer or study or live or care …

This week we’re serving up… Aperitifs: The government gave a sort of dodgy contract to a fairly dodgy company and also wrote them a nice letter Election Section: Pauline Hanson has ‘ghost candidates’ and a hilarious website, and the News Corp media is bashing the teal independents Positivity Corner: Strikes, strikes, more strikes! Vic & NSW Bus Dri…

Earlier this week Zac sat down with Anastasia Kanjere from A New NTEU. She's running for the NTEU General Secretary position and came on the show to chat about her campaign, the National Tertiary Education Union, and the tertiary ed sector in general. You can follow Anastasia (https://twitter.com/a_kanjere) and A New NTEU (https://twitter.com/ANewN…

Election Section: There was a leader's "debate", the Labor Party have announced they hate the planet and everyone in the country, Albo got "da bib", and Liberal Transphobe Katherine Deves continues to make everyone ma…

"Mini" he said. "Just a few minutes" he said. Well, here's a not-super-long episode from ya boy Noon about Pesach (Passover) the Jewish festival that Easter happens at the same time as. There's even a teeny tiny little bit of Auspol in there if you pay attention. I hope you all have a revolutionary pesach full of freedom…

It was the budget! And you know what that means: almost nothing. This week we're serving up... Fashy Aus: A couple of terrible laws have been passed: the Mutual Obligations Bill and new anti-protest laws in NSW. Yikes! Positivity Corner: Australia is at record high levels of industrial action. And it was Trans Day of Visibility this week!…

This week we're serving up... Aperitifs: Aged care workers getting screwed over by the government (surprise!) and John Barilaro is suing Google. Election Section: Labor won the SA election last weekend! First Nations: Yoorrook Justice Commission has officially launched!

Zac's away having fun or something so earlier in the week I sat down with Jo, host of the Chronically Fully Sick podcast to snack down on the news and memes. There's been a LOT of news since we recorded, especially the murder trial for a police officer in the NT, which we will definitely talk about next time. So just a warning that there might be s…

We're back! Sorry about last week. Also maybe about next week. But this week we have a regular old show for you all! We're serving up... Aperitifs: Morrison has COVID; Clive Palmer has Hitler's car; World War III? SPOTW: You never want to go full Bill Shorten.

We had such a good time with our guest last week, we decided to get another one! We got JB to come on the show to talk about sex work decriminalisation and other legal frameworks, as well as the ethics of the sex industry, moralising, and about a million other things. And they didn't even get to their second point! This week we're serving up... Ele…

We're very excited to announce our guest host Tilde! She's a unionist and organiser and twitch streamer and a confirmed poster and came on to talk to us about the Religious Freedom / Anti-Trans Kids Bill and to explain the sad machinations of our political parties. There's a content warning for our First Nations story which involves an Indigenous m…

There was legitimately way too much news this week. We had to cut loads of stories and all the stories we kept ended up being TOO INTERESTING. So, hopefully you have plenty of lawns to mow today. This week we're serving up... Aperitifs: Queensland is having ANOTHER Fitzgerald Inquiry - an anti-corruption investigation of their anti-corruption body,…

Aperitifs: Solar grants for struggling yacht clubs; Anne Ruston manages to be deeply insulting to disabled people while trying to praise them; Centrelink doesn't have a database so much as a pile of inaccessible documents. Positivity Corner: Z…

"It took twenty seven takes, and that was the best one." That's our motto for the first 5 mins of the show.

Aperitifs: Ben Roberts-Smith, alleged war hero, lost a side-case in court and has been forced to pay close to h…

It's our first episode of 2022 and we're bringing our new year slimy matrix goo pod energy! This week we're serving up... Coronas: There are no RATs!

We're back! With another episode of memes, memes, and more memes, with a robust side of extremely cool and popular guest host Holly! We go from July to the end of the year with our posts of the week, meandering a little as we all fall asleep (we ended up recording this roughly 3 hours later than intended). From NAIDOC to loving submarines (it risky…

Boy howdy it's been a long year. A long, painful, long, difficult, isolated, long year. But we've been posting through it. The entire nation has really lifted our meme game during the pandemic and in this week and next week's episodes we're going through the posts, content, tweets, and memes that defined our year. We're also joined by robust and po…

Zac's away again this weekend so we recorded this earlier this week. Hopefully there haven't been any massive developments in these stories since then... Aperitifs: Gladys may or may not run for Parliament; we're boycotting the Olympics but kinda not really; and Barclay McGain dressed up as Kyle Rittenhouse for Halloween (slightly late but extremel…

Read more about forestry crimes here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-24/hi-res-elevati…

It's another pre-recorded episode this week - lucky there's no news, right?? Snackpod are the proud owners of one of maybe only eight or ten copies of Gina Rinehart's alleged jokebook, Jokes and Joys (Dedicated to Aussie Mother). So for this week's episode, we read some of the least vile jokes and memes straight from Australia's richest person. Thi…

Noon is away this week dealing with a smol MH crisis, but never fear because robust fan favourite and peoples' champion Holly is back to celebrate No Knowledge November. Excitingly, we also have a new segment and sting for you! Also just a heads up that next week will be another unusual episode but it will have both Zac and Noon on it (unless somet…

Zac's off this week, so Noon caught up with Mev, one of the organisers at Slutwalk Naarm/Melbourne. She chats with us about the history of the movement, consent, victim blaming, the word slut and the pros and cons of using it as part of a radical organisation, and more! We hope you love the show this week. Slutwalk Naarm/Melbourne is happening next…

We do have a content warning from 46:40 - 53:00 for a story about the death of an Indigenous woman at the hands of police, so if you don't want to hear that you can skip past it. We also have MULTIPLE SPOTW awa…

We're much refreshed and back at it again after a week off. Luckily there was juuuust enough news for us to put together a show. There is a CW for one of our First Nations stories, which involves the name of an Indigenous man who has died at the hands of police. That segment runs from 45:50 - 50:05. This week we're serving up... Aperitifs: Morrison…

It's another super long episode because our story on the Melbourne protests accidentally went nearly an hour long. Whoopsie doodle! Hopefully you find our discussion at least somewhat interesting or insightful. We also have a couple of trigger warnings at the end of the show. Time codes are below and we give warnings when you're listening before th…

We have a big show this week, with some actual uncomplicated positivity, some big brain economic analysis, and of course, le memes. We have a CW for our First Nations story for the name of someone who has died and descriptions of police violence. IF you'd like to skip that story it runs from 24:00 - 30:50. Our second FN story is also about racist p…

Aperitifs: Matthew Guy is back; Lyle Shelton is disendorsed by God; Women's Safety Summit was pretty depressing (more of this in the next story); Kristina K Keneally is parachuted into the Lower House. Fashy Australia: (CW f…

We have another bumper episode for you all to chow down on! I think the first half of the show is pretty fun, but with our usual emotional whiplash, the back half of the show has a few content warnings. There are discussions of police violence against Indigenous people, discussing people who have died, and discussion of DV and sexual assault. We've…

I know we say "there's bad news" every week but this really is a pretty heavy episode, at least the back end of the show. We have a few content warnings that start at about 59 minutes - more specifics below. To balance it out we've tried to put in a few mini positivity corners throughout. Transcripts of our episodes are uploaded within a few days a…

After fully two years of mildly hassling him, our Fifth Beatle Lewis has finally come on the show! He's here to drop some knowledge about Afghanistan and critique some common left wing positions about the war (as well as the war itself, of course).

We're very excited to announce our special guest host this week, Australia's Boyfriend, Tom Tanuki! You know who he is - he's one of the country's pre-eminent antifascists, as well as a kook-watcher, and he's on this week to talk about the anti-lockdown protests. He drops a bunch of knowledge and even gives us an update on his beautiful cat Chimpy.…

Please stick with us past the first minute of this episode because we start messy but I think the episode is a good one! We spend quite a while on everyone's favourite segment of Auspol Snackpod: the sports news. Also, we're nearly at our goal of 100 reviews on Apple Podcasts, please go and leave us a review. There's a CW from 35 mins til the end o…

It's NAIDOC Week so we have a fully First Nations focussed episode. Our last few stories have heavy content warnings for the names of dead Indigenous people and discussion of police violence, which starts at about 41:20. Entree: What does NAIDOC stand for, and why does it stand for that? Check out this thread by Khadija Gbla: https://twitter.com/Kh…

We're taking a week off so we're playing our very popular bonus episode in which Zac finally talks about veganism at length! The challenge was to talk about it "from a non-entitled wanker point of view" which I think Zac managed to do admirably. This isn't an hour long rant about how meat eating is evil, it's more like an hour long rant about how m…
