    Konrad from Punters Politics has had enough of being cut out of the lobbying game so he's raising money to join them.


    He's raising money to be the punters' lobbyist on the hill!


    Lewis and I take it upon ourselves to grill him to make sure he has the chops to represent us in Canberra to get better outcomes fro climate and get fossil fuel and resource companied to pay their fair share of tax and royalties.

    To chip in to help Konrad wield influence in Canberra — you can donate anonymous black money through his Chuffed page here: https://chuffed.org/project/134297-fund-australias-first-punter-powered-lobbyist


    Cheers

  • W.Kamau Bell on the end of America (and Colbert)
    Jul 24 2025

    G’day Fearmongers,


    This week we have one of my favourite comedians and tv producers walk us through the CBS decision to axe the Stephen Colbert Late Show.


    Was it financial or something more sinister?


    W.Kamau Bell is one of the smartest TV creators and stand ups and he’s got the silverware to prove it. Kamau has even hosted his own tonight show. He’s one of the most prolific brains in media, comedy and justice.


    📝 You can read his very thoughtful analysis of the Colbert moment on his Substack Who’s With Me.


    🎟️ And you can book to see him live on tour around the US later this year.


    If you enjoy A Rational Fear, chip in to the Patreon.


    ALSO In two weeks we have a Federal Minister on the show and on Patreon, you will be able to pitch your questions directly to them - but I’ll only take them for Patreon.


    Cheers,


    Dan

    G’day Fearmongers,


    We have two special guests this week!

    Firstly, from the International Intrigue newsletter this week, co-founder and editor, Jeremy Dicker. It's a great daily read. I highly recommend subscribing. Kind of like Morning Brew for #Geopol.


    International Intrigue website.

    We cover a couple of big internationally intriguing headlines from Albo's trip to China and why the US Department of Defense is buying a mining company in Nevada.

    AND Guest #2. James Blackwell gives the Federal Court a spray about this week's decision that the Australian Government doesn't have a duty of care to Torres Strait islanders… and thereby... all Australians.

    We’re also launching A Rational Fear Corporate. We will come to your conference to hold a panel show about your industry—that is guaranteed not to be boring.


    Imagine: Your company paying for comedians to make fun of your industry.

    To book A Rational Fear corporate shows hit me up on the email: dan@arationalfear.com

    Cheers

    Dan

  • Media this election & bonus News fighters

    G’day Fearmongers,

    There’s only 48 hours left of this election — soon our national nightmare will be over.

    On the podcast we’re joined by the hosts of the new media and cultural podcast, Lamestream. Scott Mitchell and Osman Faruqui are a couple of smart media operators who have been inside big corporate media, and politics, and know lots about how the sausage is made.

    In this episode we chat about how the fourth estate has covered this election. Right wing vs progressive ecosystems, and how the major parties are trying to reach younger audiences.

    ALSO for lovers of wacky news clips — Dylan Behan has given us his Australian election edition of News Fighters.

    Cheers,

    Dan
