Gather Around Me is back with our hot takes on the Academy Awards, Mark Latham, etc.
Cam Smith aka @sexenheimer on the Twitters has spent way, way too long down the rabbit-holes of the conspiracy theorists. He joins me for the second proper episode in The 9pm End of Spring Series 2020.Cam is astoundingly prolific. Apart from his Twitter feed being full of fascinating material like the stuff we discuss in this pod, he co-presents Yeah Nah Pasaran! on Melbourne radio 3CR, presents Rock & Roll Ate My Brain on Gippsland FM, and does the podcasts Hypothepod and, with comedian Ben Pobjie, Gather Around Me.He's also the author of Hot Knockers, "a journey through the world of people knocking on doors and other people wanting to know who is on the other side before opening said door".We talk about QAnon, rainmaking, angels and demons, COVID-19, toxic masculinity, horse-headed humans, the so-called "Bonk Ban", and MKUltra. Also Donald Trump. Obviously.Full podcast details and credits at:https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00122/Support this podcast at:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/

G'day folks, apols for the radio silence. We are back with a rebooted Gather Around Me. For the first time: SEGMENTS. Do not listen to this if you are going to be on a gangland jury or if you are especially invested in not only getting the names of beloved children's authors correct, but in not getting them incorrect in multiple ways within the space of an hour.
Alright hotshots, it's a brand new ep of Gather Around Me. Well, it's an ep of Gather Around Me. Look hotshots, this was recorded a couple of weeks ago. I got an ear infection, okay. Here are some important notes. One, this podcast will spoil the film Shutter Island. Two, throughout the history of the show, as longterm listeners will know, we often refer to the book The Cross & The Switchblade. That has been erroneous: the book we meant to refer to was Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz. Maybe that's what we used to call it and my memory has just atrophied. *raises eyebrows as if to say, I wonder how that could have happened*. Also Ben's book is 100% available for purchase in stores now. It is called Australia: What Happened? and nobody gives up a life of being cool to be a nerd in the space of a page. Well done, Ben. Right, that's just about it. We will try to record another one soon so you can get up to speed on Luke Foley's resignation in a few weeks.
G'day folks, welcome to another edition of Gather Around Me with ya pals Ben & Cam.

We are going to see The Nun next week, so that should help.

Hi folks, it's an all new ep of Gather Around Me with your mates Ben and Cam. This one is done over Skype, and there is a little bit of annoying headphone noise in the first 5 minutes and 9 seconds. But if you leave it before then, you will never get to hear about the Mouse Senate. So I guess I'm saying, abandon at your own risk. There's also an annoying flavour to Cam's voice throughout due to a recording mishap, but what's different about that, am I right? Ahahaha. Why would I burn myself like that? It's completely unnecessary. This is what Burn Culture has lead to.
Hi there folks, it's ep 337 of Gather Around Me with ya pals Ben Pobjie and Cam Smith. In this episode, we discuss Roy Moore, Dastyari and Russian Sleep Experiments from the late 1940s. Please do not rely on this podcast for your up-to-the-minute current affairs.
