1061 - Koala Killers feat. friendlyjordies (8/11/26)

About this episode

Journalist and YouTuber Jordan Shanks-Markovina aka friendlyjordies joins us for an Australian news ep, comparing the MAGA movement of the United States with the right-wing nativism of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. We talk about Australia’s world of mobsters and bikers, one deputy PM’s war on Koalas, and how Jordies’ videos lead to several criminal prosecutions and his house being firebombed.
