🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE

Episode 192 – Karl Stefanovic

In this episode, Andy and Roger take on the curious case of Karl Stefanovic, Tommy Robinson, and whether cancel culture is still alive and well in 2026. Andy opens by mourning the apparent end of Karl's media career before the pair unpack his departure from Channel Nine and the controversy surrounding his independent podcast.

They debate whether Karl’s interview with Tommy Robinson was genuinely beyond the pale or simply another example of a long-form podcast allowing guests to tell their stories without being subjected to a courtroom-style interrogation. Along the way, they compare Karl’s approach to Joe Rogan, discuss platforming controversial figures, and explore the tension between journalistic responsibility, freedom of expression and personal accountability for political outcomes.

The conversation also touches on Tommy Robinson’s reputation, the role of social media echo chambers, gender divides in online reactions, and whether audiences are capable of making up their own minds when exposed to contentious ideas. As always, Andy and Roger manage to disagree while remaining oddly civil about it.
