The Two Jacks discuss the latest furore over Australia's National Holiday. Have the arguments hit a new low? With Peter Dutton's calls to boycott Woolworths, the Two Jacks say it couldn't possibly get crazier. A day of nationhood is needed, one that will unify Australians and not divide them. In the US, Trump takes Iowa with Nikki Haley looking like having a fighting chance of winning New Hampshire. Around the world, how do progressive Jews view the response from their fellow non-Jewish travellers. Has anti-Semitism infected the progressive Left? In sport, we look at the West Indies tour and ask how can it be that their players earn one tenth of the Australian players. Is a bit of socialism required to keep Test cricket alive?
Episode 89: Happy Straya Day, INXS and Fans January 26th is Australia Day, and it's with patriotic pride we take listeners back in time when this freshman band of brothers blasted out of the blocks with a gunslinging swagger to take on the Australian music scene. Full of passion and pride, INXS were proud of their Aussie heritage but never made it a cringey marketing ploy unlike their contemporaries (hello, Men at Work!). So, this week Bee and I pay tribute to the 1977-86 period of INXS' career whereby they came, they saw and they conquered Australia first before making the massive play for international success. Many Oz fans see Shabooh Shoobah and The Swing as their favourite and most iconic albums, and we pay tribute to the effect and role these albums played before the Chris Thomas trilogy of Listen Like Thieves, Kick and X had globally. We dive deep into touring, the early videos, local awards achieved, chart success, and the cultural impact earned that brought about confidence, self-belief, and financial ability to relocate and take on North America, Asia, and Europe. All this and a whole lot more as we celebrate with patriotic pride and passion, the “formative Aussie years” of INXS and their homeland, Australia. Great southern land …. awesome Australian band!!!

Australia Day Special Rickus & Hursty celebrate Straya Day by keeping it local. Whether you're at the cricket, smashing tinnies and BBQing with mates, lazing by the pool listening to Triple J's hottest 100 or celebrating in any other way you see fit; we hope you're doing it with a dram in hand (as it's worth two in the bush). Rickus & Hursty fly south (metaphorically) for the summer to sample a few of Tasmania's finest, as well as discussing some distillery history and interesting aspects of our fledgling industry.

Live from They Forgot To Say Where comes the most casual episode of Bring A Plate yet. It’s the Straya Day long weekend and Peter and Bec share their complicated feelings about our national day and what truly makes them proud to be Australian – the upcoming Schapelle Corby telemovie. Bec is disappointed about The Bachelor, but not the Chris O’Donnell movie and Peter wants you to switch off The Biggest Loser and only eat truckloads of junk food on camera if it is for a fetishist and you are getting paid $$$. In Movie Club, it’s 1994’s tense action epic Speed – “the bus that couldn’t slow down”. Plus: News Minute, Sport, Hottest 100, buses and trains, and an exciting announcement for our three Sydney listeners!
