Hev, K-Mac, Hosko and Isaac are assembled at IKON Park for Hawthorn to take on Melbourne in the AFLW - and true to form, Hosko is being a menace in the commentary box. We've dug back into the history of AFLW, and found audio of both Hosko and K-Mac from their first seasons - where they perhaps weren't as polished behind a microphone as they are now. Merv Hughes joins the show from Darwin with a review of Day One of the first test between Australia and Bangladesh. In K-Mac's Royal Commission, she responds to an article asking why the AFL has given up a lucrative night for men's footy to put AFLW as a standalone game - and Hosko joins in with a passionate plea to give the AFLW the chances it needs to grow. Finally, Hawthorn star Aine McDonagh joins Hev and K-Mac on the boundary, and dishes a bit of dirt on the afterparty following the Australia vs Ireland game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by John McDonagh, professor of practice at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, former Massachusetts state legislator, and key architect of Obamacare. He is here to discuss his new book, America's Wrong Turn: U.S. Healthcare in the Neoliberal Era – a searing diagnosis of how a revolution in economic thinking turned the American healthcare system into a global outlier.The United States spends more on healthcare than any other advanced nation – by a staggering margin – yet its health outcomes rank near the bottom. Life expectancy has been declining since 1980. The infant mortality rate is embarrassingly high. And while every other wealthy country covers 99–100% of its citizens, the U.S. still leaves millions uninsured.John explains how a single chart – showing U.S. healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP – reveals the story. In 1980, the U.S. was the highest spender but still in the pack. Then something happened. Around 1982–83, the U.S. "jackrabbited" away from every other nation. The culprit? The neoliberal revolution – the ideas of Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and the Mont Pelerin Society – that captured American policy under Ronald Reagan and transformed healthcare from a public good into a site of value extraction.John traces how monopoly capitalism, private equity, and the mantra of "maximising shareholder value" have hollowed out the system. Hospitals are bought by private equity firms, stripped of their land and buildings, and turned into tenants paying exorbitant rents. Two companies now control 90% of dialysis care. Antitrust enforcement has collapsed. The result is a system that Americans hate – but feel powerless to change.Yet John is an optimist. He argues that the feedback loop of public revulsion is building, and that the neoliberal era – though its effects persist – is over. The seeds of hope lie in renewed antitrust activism, grassroots organising, and the eventual replacement of a corrupt administration.Topics covered:U.S. healthcare spending vs. outcomesThe 1980s inflection pointThe neoliberal revolution and its key thinkersMonopoly capitalism in healthcarePrivate equity and value extractionThe collapse of antitrust enforcementMilton Friedman's "shareholder value" doctrineThe NHS and the politics of healthcareHope for reformJohn McDonagh's America's Wrong Turn is published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

WWE SmackDown 7/31/26 had some big moments, some total chaos, and one women's match that was booked like an absolute disgrace. In under 10 minutes, I break down Finn Balor opening the show with a strong promo about 2016, Sami Zayn making everything about himself, Gunther storming in like a machine, and Nick Aldis getting dragged into the madness. Tremendous opening, very wild, very hot.We also got Tiffany Stratton & Chelsea Green vs The Baddies, the title-for-title tag match with Damian Priest & R-Truth vs The War Raiders ending in a nothing disqualification, then Tama Tonga, Talla Tonga, and Haku arriving to wreck everybody. That part? Very interesting. Real reset energy.Trick Williams completely cooked Baron Corbin on the mic. Rey Fenix beat J.D. McDonagh in a good AAA Cruiserweight Title match with Dominik Mysterio and Danhausen nonsense on the side. Then Lash Legend vs Giulia got basically no time, and it was one of the most frustrating parts of the whole show. Terrible decision.Finally, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk closed the night with a face-off that should have felt huge, but a lot of it came off like two brothers bickering in the kitchen before finally throwing hands. Not great, folks. Not great.If you want the full WWE SmackDown 7/31/26 review, the good, the bad, and the ridiculous, this is the video.Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production
