Great chatting to @AsadHashim for the AFP. Podcasts are moving firmly into the mainstream, for good or for ill.
The more informal tone of podcasts allows listeners to feel like they're "getting to know" the candidates, says @learedfern. "These one-on-one conversations feel more like discussions than traditional, interrogative interviews." yahoo.com/news/podcasts-trum…

This interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates has become controversial, but I'm glad the questions were asked, because the responses from Ta-Nehisi have such moral clarity. youtube.com/watch?v=kh-Sj57C…

I really need everyone to understand how big Call Her Daddy/Alex Cooper is:
—Second-most popular podcast in the world; 5+ million downloads a week
—Most-listened to podcast among women ages 18-24
—Reaches a lot of people who are NOT political
So, yes, this matters & is huge.
We should always be free to ask questions, and we should always be able to question laws.
ABC journalist @anushri_sood in trouble for asking an excellent question.

ABC journalist @anushri_sood asked opposition leader
@PeterDutton_MP why Hezbollah is even listed as a terrorist organisation?
Rather than answer her, he started heavy breathing, and told her she's in trouble for daring to ask the question.
This is what passes off as press freedom in Australia.
What he should have said is that the US/Israel asked Australia to do it, that the majority of the world doesn't list them, and that they've never threatened Australia and only ever fought an illegal occupation within their own borders so the designation is entirely political.

“If you’re defending the suffering in Gaza…then I’m sorry, but you’re a sociopath.”
Incredibly powerful and utterly compelling closing comments by Mehdi Hasan.

The myth that publicly funding private schools somehow saves the public money takes a further hammering. smh.com.au/national/victoria…

With the outpouring horror in Gaza, one doesn't need to be a medical professional to empathize with these doctors' feelings. Enraged at the incessant brutality used against defenseless civilians. Offended at the flimsy justifications made up to cover for int'l crimes. Incapable to hear anyone's excuses anymore. Desperate for change, and accountability.
“It haunts us in our dreams.” Gaza doctors speak at the DNC with @UncommittedMvmt and beg the world to listen.
“It’s the feeling that we have no ability to get the most powerful country in the world to stop the bombs.”
Very grateful for this opportunity to work with the wonderful A/Prof Venu Arora and our common interest in media through a feminist lens.

No amount of argument about @SenatorPayman and how she got into the senate will help @AlboMP …the fact is her stand on Gaza is backed by the ALP platform and widely shared in the party and beyond in the Australian community.
Israel’s onslaught is an obscenity.

All the odds were stacked against Jeremy Corbyn.
He’s one of the only independents to win a competitive election in a general election since World War II.
He started his campaign late because of loyalty to his old party.
His constituency has a huge turnover.
Labour threw everything at this seat.
He suffered a relentless smear campaign.
He won against huge odds, and his team should be unbelievably proud of what they achieved.
The fabulous @cathywilcox1 right on point as usual. It’s madness that the person supporting the platform is the one expelled. Caucus solidarity is meant to bind the caucus to Labour values.
