The Shot Podcast
The Shot Podcast - Trailer 1
•
A weekly podcast about Australia politics, power and corruption. Each week Jo Dyer, Grace Tame, Dave Milner and Charles Firth probe the myths and half-truths pushed by those in power.
Sometimes profound, occasionally profane, The Shot podcast is always entertaining.
This year, leading independent researcher Ronni Salt will be making regular appearances on the podcast to talk about her own investigations.
If you're wanting a didactic account of power and politics in Australia, download something else. But if you're wanting a robust, honest and witty engagement with the big issues, The Shot podcast might be right up your alley.
