BETOOTA TALKS: The Implosion Of The Federal Coalition (featuring Malcolm Turnbull)
There is a famous saying about politics '“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Last week felt like a decade. The Federal Coalition has imploded. The entire concept of an 'Opposition' now ceases to exist. What the hell has happened? The Betoota Advocate attempts to explain 'The Coalition' - what it is, how it functions, and why has it all gone to shit. Joining the editors is one man who knows all too well how dysfunctional this political institution has become: former Liberal Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BETOOTA TALKS: Ashes Moments with Peter Lalor PART 2
What turns a routine delivery into folklore? How does one wide ball at the Gabba trigger a generation of English PTSD? And why do the strangest, funniest and most chaotic moments always seem to find their way into this rivalry? In Part Two of our deep dive into Ashes mythology, Clancy & Errol once again sits down with Peter Lalor to revisit a fresh batch of chaos from the vault. From Harmison’s first-ball moonshot that nearly killed second slip, to Stuart MacGill’s 12-wicket fever dream, to Colin Cowdrey waddling out of a Boeing 707 to save England with nothing but a borrowed bat and enormous optimism. Also examined are some of the more questionable cultural artefacts of Ashes lore, including David “Bumble” Lloyd’s broken cock yarn and Michael Slater belting 176 while Alan Mullally put the dog up Narromine's favourite son. It’s another lap through the moments that prove the Ashes is less a cricket series and more a centuries-old soap opera with better screenwriting. This mini-series is brought to you by BWS.
