What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than in front of a LIVE audience?

Stephen Donnelly. Jessie McCrone, David Feeney,Benita Kolovos and Reed Fleming all bring their A-game - and a few iconic media grabs - to this celebration of Labor’s cracking campaign and decisive victory.

Between the witty repartee and a bit of tea-spilling from these campaign veterans, the live show panel covers key topics like:

🔥 The Australian Labor Party’s dramatic turnaround after a narrow victory and a late-term slump in the polls.

🟢 The Greens’ reaction after being walloped on the national stage - and how they have seemed reluctant to engage in self-reflection.

🥶 How the Coalition fumbled the ball - over and over again - and what they could learn from this. 

🙋 Tales from the trail - what it’s really like being a journo on the campaign bus, plus some highlights of star reporting.

👉 Looking ahead - what to expect from the next three years of an ALP Government.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
