After a frantic break from the podcast to do some full time work (and get covid!), News Fighters is coming back with regular episodes in late August or early September.
Expect the show to be slightly different and a bit more sporadic for the rest of the year as I concentrate on trying to secure funding to make the show regularly and sustainably in 2023. You’ll hear more about this on the show, but basically I’m launching a limited new $300/month patreon tier - if I can get 3 patrons to sign up I can pay myself minimum wage to make two episodes a month instead of working for like 40¢ an hour like I did in 2021.
So if you know any grants funders or corporations who want to support activist news comedy and get their name mentioned every episode, send them to our patreon.
WHAT YOU MISSED:
For the A Rational Fear 10th anniversay gig at the Sydney Opera House last month I debuted a new video showcasing the right’s apocalyptic view of what an Albanese Prime Ministership might look like. Enjoy:
Our 100th Episode BEST OF also premiered for free on Youtube and on our podcast feed:
Also on the audio podcast feed we revisited our slightly wrong 2019 episode from when Anthony Albanese became opposition leader:
And with Boris Johnson losing the British Prime Ministership we replayed our classic 2019 episode previewing what a bad Prime Minister he would be:
And this Friday we have a new extended version of our 2020 episode on Vladimir Putin coming out.
KEEP FIGHTING AND BYE FOR NOW!
