Ed Cowan is an Australian test cricketer, investor, podcaster and author.
He’s one of those people whose name I jotted down 6 years ago when I started the show earmarked as a ‘dream guest’.
He played in a golden era of Australian cricket and did so at a time when I was obsessed with the sport myself (I had delusions about being a test cricketer) and therefore like the music of your youth those cricke...
Tim Marshall is back for a fourth time. We've now done a show for every book: Prisoners of Geography, The Power of Geography and The Future of Geography. Now the book that started a whole genre has turned 10 years, and Tim has gone back and rewritten the entire thing.
So the question writes itself: how do you update a guide to how geography explains the world when the geography itself hasn't moved? Tim's answer is that we remain pri...
Four years ago, almost to the day of recording, Oliver Bullough was a guest on this show for the first time to discuss his concept of 'Moneyland'.This borderless virtual country where the wealthy go to keep their wealth beyond the reach of any government, any tax office, any voter. Between then and now, I've maintained interest on this thread. Nicholas Shaxson discussed on the pod the cancerous plumbing of the offshore world in Tre...
This podcast has returned to modern slavery three times now. Lisa Kristine showed us its face through her photography. Bruce Ladebu described what it actually takes to pull children out. And Matthew Friedman, in Episode 76, gave us the architecture: thirty-five years working across Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, the UN, and eventually the Mekong Club.
That first episode opened with the story of an 11-year-old Nepalese girl in a ...
Joshua Bandoch is the Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute and the debut author of 'How to Get What You Want'.
It's persuasion and communication all the way down. Josh's argues that almost everything most of us were taught about how to win an argument is wrong and now the neuroscience proves it.
Aristotle, it turns out, had this figured out 2,400 years ago. Kant, the great rationalist of the Enlightenment, did ...
Tony Abbott served as Australia's 28th Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015. He is a Rhodes Scholar and among the most polarising and consequential figures in modern Australian political history.
Rather than writing a series of memoirs detailing the turbulent years before, during and after his leadership of Australia, he instead, wanted to re-introduce a pride for Australia's history which he is afraid 'the black armband view of h...

Eric Jorgenson, author of the Naval Almanac and the Book of Elon, and CEO of Scribe Media joins me to discuss what makes Elon Musk the most consequential entrepreneur alive.
We dig into Elon's purpose-driven risk-taking, his philosophy of attacking bottlenecks, and why the people who make the biggest dents often pa...
Will Marshall is the CEO and Co-Founder of Planet.
Planet own and operate a fleet of (200+) satellites which image daily, the entire world.
Planet’s ultimate ambition is to achieve a queryable earth.

A probe into Gideon Haigh's worldview, someone I've anticipated interviewing ever since this podcast began.
Some highlights from the podcast.
- On cricket: “Cricket marches backwards into the future — always haunted by its past.”
- On Warne: “He had perfect superficiality and the gift of putting everyone at ease.”
- On journalism: “Legacy media has become mindlessly negative. If they can’t ...
I've anticipated this interview for 6 years.
Robyn Davidson has lived one of the most mythologised lives in Australian memory.
She famously and unintentionally burst onto the scene with Tracks in 1988, which was a 2,700km camel trek across the Simpson desert. She'd never intended to write a book or document anything of it's kind from the journey, but was desperate for some money to gather supplies for the impending trip...
“I deserved whatever the opposite of a Pulitzer is.”
Phil Elwood isthe author of All the Worst Humans, a confessional memoir from the dubious world of public relations.
As a PR operative. He helped Qatar win the 2022 World Cup. He spun the release of the Lockerbie bomber into a “positive headline.” Had the Gaddafi family, the Assad regime and plenty more among his clients.
Phil speaks with humility and in...
“In the next 25 years, the world will need more copper than in all of human history.”
Amendment - I said 3.2 billion kg of copper in opening question, I should have said 320 million kg.
In this episode, journalist and author Vince Beiser returns to the podcast to discuss his book Power Metal, a sobering look at the metals that make modern civilization possible — and the extraordinary cost of extracting them.
