Summary

Big Small Talk: 5 PM Tuesdays So you want to know what’s happening in parliament, but you also want to know the latest in pop culture? Good, as you should. From the front page to your newsfeeds, no story is too serious, stale, funny or frivolous. Because, if you haven’t realised, loving pop culture doesn’t mean you don’t understand politics. Knowing all your shit? That’s hot. New Episodes 5pm Tuesday.

Small Talk: 6 AM Thursdays It might not be tangible news but each week there’s something in the cultural zeitgeist that gets us all talking. We want to unpack these frivolous conversations, from new trends to relationship theories to life advice. In an age of never-ending small talk, we want to examine how these collective thoughts affect the way we see the world. We may even reach out to a few friends and experts to weigh in.

Big Talk: Wednesday 6 AM - Last Two Weeks of Every Month Over the past few decades, there have been news headlines so shocking that we still hear and feel their impact, such as Roe V Wade, Monica Lewinsky, Epstein, Mabo and Hillsong. Don’t you think it’s about time you knew all the important and salacious details about the real stories that have happened that shaped our world today? Come on, I know you’re curious.

  • What Does The Left Get Wrong? With Punters Politics

    What Does The Left Get Wrong? With Punters Politics
    May 13 2026

    Konrad Benjamin (known as Punters Politics) has amassed a huge following online, gone viral numerous times for his political commentary, recently found himself in parliament speaking up about the gas tax and also recently found himself on Karl Stefanovic's podcast. He has a knack for reaching over political lines, engaging with people who would consider themselves right wing and apolitical. So today, I want to chat to him about why and how that is.
