Adelaide Mail Week In Review

Adelaide Mail Week In Review

Welcome to the Adelaide Mail: Week In Review with Trent Bartlett and Dan Schmidt, the only podcast brave enough to tackle the hard-hitting news stories that shape the great state of South Australia. Each week we take a closer look at some of Adelaide's biggest, bizarrest and most baffling news stories and tell you just the bits that you don't need to know. You will get no closer to worldly knowledge or enlightenment by listening to this, but you may (will) hear some fresh O-Bahn puns. Adelaide Mail: Week In Review is South Australia’s Other Fake News Source (but if the courts ask, it’s satire). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adelaide is officially back.

Okay, we took an extended Christmas break from December 2024 to October 2025 (it's a union thing, or something) so we had some catching up to do on all the stuff we missed. Warren Tredrea revealed that he only wants to be paid in gold coins/may be a pirate, would-be arsonists succeeded at setting something on fire...themselves, landlords issued instructions on how to shower, and John Kapiris (that's all, that's the story).

It's a sign of the times, AI taking our jobs...or in this case, the SA Liberals' job of getting them involved in some stupid scandal. We also chat the Mount Gambier Blue Blob googly eyes fallout, the St Louis counterfeit money scheme and SA's very own Oscars moment.

Adelaide is buzzing with scams. A bizarre fundraiser behind the state’s failed anti-abortion bill, the Romanian “real gold” petrol-money con sweeping SA, and the lengths a woman went to while disputing a $104 parking fine. We also dive into why South Australians will believe literally anything posted on Facebook and why that's very good for business.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
