  • 35. The World We Live In

    36:37||Ep. 35
    We have an update on the future of the podcast.It's Mel & Simon this week, as Dom headed out of town before Perth was thrown into lockdown, with new COVID-19 cases coming out of hotel quarantine again and spreading into the community.We discuss how the state's Premier, Mark McGowan, has NOT "kept us safe", despite the media and a naive public lapping up his rhetoric that he has kept us safe, and how his government has been incompetent and negligent in allowing the latest outbreak from quarantine in to the community.And we have our say on the European Super League controversy that arose last week.Then we finish with a classic. One of the most inspirational speeches in recorded history, by Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film, "The Great Dictator", which he wrote, directed, produced, scored and starred in.******This episode is sponsored by Calido Media.

  • 34. Up Klose with Karl

    01:05:55||Ep. 34
    We're livestreaming the podcast on Facebook with a special guest! It's a robust family affair with listener Karl. He's Mel and Dom's cousin and a keen listener of the Chronicles, and he's lucky enough to get his mug on camera in this 4-way free-for-all. The 4 of us begin with some Italian soccer trash talk before we get into the rape accusations leveled at Australia's Attorney General, Christian Porter. And it's a very interesting discussion with some varied opinions. Some state vs federal politics talk. We also discuss Joe Biden's mental state and U.S. politics. And we finish up our chat with a bit about The Sopranos, funny movies, and Karl's favourite topic: conspiracies. Then we close the show with Stevie Van Zandt talking about being Silvio Dante on The Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's sidekick in the E Street Band. ******This episode is sponsored by Calido Media.
