ExplicitNo Illusions #44 – South Africa & Zimbabwe | First podcast for 2012! Sorry it's been so long between shows - this episode took me FOREVER to edit. Blame Ira Glass. Anyway... I'm fascinated with the long-term effects of colonialisation. We all know that colonialisation is usually a disaster for the indigenous population while the colonial power is occupying their country - but what about once they leave? Does it get better? Or worse? And why? Today's show has two guests - Adam Shand talking about his recent trip to Zimbabwe and Petros Kondos talking about why he and his family are emigrating from South Africa. | 13 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitThe No Illusions Podcast #43 – Operation Ajax | Why do the Iranian people distrust the United States? Because they "hate our freedoms", as Bush said about Al Qaida? Or do they have genuine reasons? How many of us know the history of America and England's involvement in the illegal and covert overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953? My guests today are Daniel Burwen & Ash Aiwase, two of the guys behind Operation Ajax, one of the most exciting apps I've seen developed for the iPad so far. Check out the trailer: I chatted with Daniel and Ash recently about how Operation Ajax came about and how the iPad can make a dent in the Universe.

ExplicitNo Illusions #30 – 40 Not Out with Richard Giles | Back in the good old days of podcasting, my co-host of the G'Day World podcast for a year or more was Richard Giles. Then life got in the way of podcasting sometime around the end of 2007 and he went on to do other things. On this episode, we catch up properly for the first time since then, to talk about turning 40, what happened with his start-up SCOUTA, what he's doing now (ADAPPTOR), and to catch-up on some tech news, including Google+ and the sale of MySpace. | 3 7 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNo Illusions 29 – The Polyamorous Life with Kieran Salsone | I first met Kieran Salsone a few years ago at a BTUB not long after I moved to Brisbane. I'd already known him via his Twitter handle websinthe. I knew from the comic he used to write that he had a sharp political mind. But it wasn't until I caught up with him for a cigar a few months ago that I discovered that he also lead a polyamorous love life. As he, his fiancé Naomi and his girlfriend Rachelle all came out on Facebook this week, I thought it would be a great time to get him onto the show for a chat about polyamory. Has marriage had its day? | 30 6 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNO ILLUSIONS 28 – Virginia Balmain, UNAA | My guest today is Virginia Balmain who is the President of the United Nations Association of Australia (QLD) and the Vice-President of the UNAA in Australia. We chat about Australia's role in the UN, our obligations as a Member Nation, and some of the contentious issues surrounding the UN - the veto power of the permanent members of the Security Council, the rise of the "Islamic Bloc", how it is funded and whether or not it is a "toothless tiger". | 14 6 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNo Illusions Podcast #26 – #RaptureFAIL | Note: This show is a week old, sorry about that folks. I had weird trouble uploading it to the server. Mostly relevant though, except I have more to say about Mr Rapture. On today's show I talk about Harold Camping's failed Rapture, the International Conference on Advances in Nuclear Power Plants's summary of the Fukushima Daiichi accident, @JINJIRRIE's excellent notes on Obama's latest speech about the Middle East, and reports that the US military drone strikes programme within Pakistan had more than just tacit acceptance of their top military brass. | 29 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNo Illusions 25 – Goldman Sachs | The majority of today's show is about the most evil corporation on the planet, Goldman Sachs, and a great book about them called GRIFTOPIA by Matt Taibbi. I also cover recent news about Obama's backing down on the Middle East peace process, how piracy drove a book called GO THE F**K TO SLEEP to the Number One spot on Amazon.com, how a long-time US Government Insider believes that Bin Laden Died In 2001 and 9/11 was a False Flag op, and how deaths from the coal industry still out-weigh deaths from nuclear by about 4000 to 1. | 19 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNo Illusions 24 – Bin Laden Dead | I have plenty of concerns about the Bin Laden assassination this week, both in terms of what actually happened and how it is being reported. How could the US President make so many mistakes in his explanation of events? Is it legal to assassinate someone who hasn't had a trial to determine guilt? Does questioning a government's version of events automatically make you a crazy conspiracy theorist? These are some of the questions I explore in today's show. Would love to know your thoughts.

ExplicitPilot Of My New Bible Podcast | How man people have read the entire bible, cover to cover? Well.... I have. A few times. And now I'm about to do it again. This time, however, I'm going to record it. That's right - the entire bible. Old and new testaments. Why? Because it's a fascinating, confusing, humorous and scary piece of literature. And everyone, Christian or not, should know what it says. Ninety-nine percent of all of the Christians I've ever asked have told me that they HAVE NOT read it cover to cover, even the people who actually think it is the literal word of GOD. Pretty amazing. So anyway - now all of you lazy people don't have to read it, because I'm going to do it for you. And I'll even explain it as I go. The show will get its own website soon, this is just a preview.

ExplicitNo Illusions Podcast #05 – Haiti, Part One | Today I'm chatting about Haiti. To understand why many people are concerned about the USA sending thousands of marines into Haiti after the recent earthquake, you have to understand the history between these two countries. Of course, you won't hear much of this in the mainstream media, as they tend to have amnesia. However a little research shows that America has had its corporate paws all over Haiti for a century and the Haitian people have suffered as a result. | 26 1 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Today's guest is Fiona Patten, the founder of The Australian Sex Party. That's a political party, not a tupperware party. And they are SERIOUS. They have a great set of policies that I endorse, including ending the internet filter and holding a Royal Commission into child sexual abuse by religious institutions. They have two candidates in upcoming elections and Fiona herself is running for Peter Costello's old seat of Higgins in Victoria. Fiona is running against the Greens Candidate - THE Clive Hamilton, architect of the Rudd Govt's evil internet filtering plan.

What is a "space elevator", I hear you ask? Only the coolest idea you've ever heard! Imagine a day in the not-too-distant future where getting into space involves jumping into something like a luxury train that travels VERTICALLY - up into the air - traveling along a 'ribbon' made of carbon nanotubes - for a week until you get outside of the earth's gravitational pull and THEN you jump in your space vehicle, which is attached to the other end of the ribbon, detach, and get flung into space via centrifugal force!

The film is called "We Live In Public", "the story of the Internets revolutionary impact on human interaction as told through the eyes of internet pioneer and visionary Josh Harris. As far back as the early 90s, Harris predicted a future dominated by life online and created the companies that were direct predecessors to MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. The tale turns ugly when his underground NYC bunker housing dozens of permanent “citizens” and outfitted with hundreds of surveillance cameras is busted by FEMA as a millennial cult — Harris decides to take the experiment a step further and in doing so becomes a media casualty."

ExplicitGDay World 387 – Tim Freke, The Gospel Of the Second Coming | Tim Freke is the co-author (with his writing partner Peter Gandy) of many books about the Jesus myth - including THE JESUS MYSTERIES and THE LAUGHING JESUS. I chatted with him recently about one of their books "The Gospel of the Second Coming", a marvelous book that manages to combine humour and insight - it explains the Jesus myth as a Gnostic parable. As Tim points out during our chat - nobody really thinks there was an historical "good Samaritan" or "prodigal son". They are understood to be parables. Tim explains that the whole Jesus story is a series of parables wrapped up in another parable - the parable of Jesus himself.

ExplicitGDay World 386 – Banksters (part 2) | My guests today help me explore some of the alternatives to the "Big Four" banks in Australia. Let's say that you, like me, want to completely disassociate yourself from the Big Four - where do you turn? Are there alternatives in Australia? Yes, say my guests: Andrew Hadley, COO, Credit Union Australia Tony Beck, Group Manager, Corporate Affairs, ME Bank (Members Equity) They both belong to organisations that can provide all of the same services that you get from your bank - and they will do it with less fees and with much more customer service. Why? Both organisations are owned by their members instead of shareholders. In CUA's case, they are owned by their customers. In ME's case, they are owned by a group of superannuation firms which, in turn, are owned by their members. So both organisations exist to provide good service - not solely for the sake of returning profits to shareholders. And, judging by their NPS scores, it makes a difference.

ExplicitGDay World 385 – Francis Borchardt on the Historicity of Jesus | In this, the latest show in my series trying to show that the Jesus story is probably a myth or hoax, my guest is a PhD student at the University of Helsinki in the field of biblical study. He chatted with me recently about the evidence to support the theory that there once was a man called Jesus about whom the stories we know of as the Christian bible were constructed around. Interestingly, Francis doesn't seem to believe the biblical stories and yet considers himself a Catholic. If you want to hear my other shows about the historicity of Jesus, check out this page.

ExplicitGDay World 384 – Michael Doneman on Ethical Entrepreneurship | My guest on today's show is Michael Doneman - one part business coach, one part social activist, one part guru. Over the last few months his name has come up in a startling variety of conversations I've had with people. These people have a few things in common - they are very bright, have a sparkle in their eye, are entrepreneurs, think they can change the world - and they are students of Doneman. Michael explains the basis of his business / school, Edgeware, where he teaches something he calls "ethical entrepreneurship" and we discuss the future of capitalism. This is also the first interview in my series where I intend to interview Brisbane's Best Minds. If you want to nominate someone to be interviewed as part of this series, please submit their details here.

ExplicitGDay World 382 – Dr Wayne Chamley on Catholic Sexual Abuse in Australia | Last week I wrote a post on the recent report out of Ireland about the true extent of child abuse committed by the Catholic Church from the '30s through to the '70s. A few people on Twitter tried to suggest there was no connection between abuse in Ireland and in Australia, so I invited Dr Wayne Chamley from Broken Rites onto the show. Broken Rites is an Australian advocacy group that works with victims of religious child abuse. He believes that if we had a Royal Commission into Catholic child abuse in this country we would discover TENS OF THOUSANDS of victims.

ExplicitGDay World 381 Reloaded | Hey folks, apparently I screwed up the track alignment in show 381 (about banks) so there is a fair amount of overlapping of voices. (Thanks to Anthony Voevodin for letting me know!) I've re-edited the show and fixed it up, and I'm attaching it here.

ExplicitGDay World 381 – Why We Hate Banks (part one) | UPDATE: The original audio for this show had a problem (overlapping tracks) so I've re-uploaded it here. We hate banks. (see my recent poll) It's true. You know it. I know it. The only people who don't seem to know it are the banks themselves. Although, I suspect they DO know it - they just don't care. They've had an effective oligopoly for so long they think they can just say and do whatever they want and we'll just sit here and take it. Well I'm not taking it anymore. I'm going to do a series of shows exploring why we hate banks so much and what the alternatives are. We have a voice. Let's use it to change things. Today on the show I interview three people - Jen Storey from Online Banking Review, Mike Jarocki from Credit Card Finder, and Owen Davies, Group Manager, Corporate Affairs, Bendigo Bank, the bank that Aussies seem to actually like a bit.

ExplicitGDay World 379 – Looking Back | Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in a cafe here in Brisbane, reading, thinking about how unlikely it was that Chrissy and I were both in Ajaccio at the same time last year. How, statistically, we should never have met. And then I started thinking about what lead me there... about all of the little events that happened over my life that put me in Ajaccio in July 2008. So I started to jot down this mindmap, tracing each event back in time to the event that had to happen, HAD TO HAPPEN, in order for me to end up in Ajaccio.

ExplicitGDAY WORLD 378 – Dr Paul Twomey, da Big Boss of da interwebs | For the last six years, Dr Paul Twomey (born in Dalby QLD, raised in Brisbane) has been running the interwebs. SRSLY. As CEO / President of ICANN, he's been the guy who makes sure all of the tubes and pipes are clean and smooth. I got to chat with him for 15 minutes last week about the biggest surprises and challenges he's had while in the job. If you've never heard my interview with Vint Cerf, ICANN founder and one of the guys who literally invented the internet, check it out here.

ExplicitGDay World 377 – Can Your Mobile Phone Save The Planet? | That was the subject of a debate I was part of last week, run by AIMIA QLD. There were four of us on the panel and I was part of the "NO" team. Not by choice. It was fun and tough to make a case AGAINST the mobile phone, especially as I love my iPhone to bits. Anyway, this show is a live recording of the event. Are you a member of the TPN500? | 25 5 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Aussie, thought provoking and topical (contains some swearing)
One of the longest running Australian podcasts, G'day World is all about what's happening down under and is delivered in conversational style. Cameron Reilly has great guests on the show, and often has debates with people from opposing sides discussing a topic. If you've yet to download an Aussie podcast, make this your first. Not safe for kids or the easily offended.
Brilliant Unabashed Aussie Show About Everything
G'day World tackles the hard issues in a funny and educating way. If you're keen to hear about technology, politics, religion, and a range of varied topics, all presented in a no nonsense, no BS way, then G'day World is the show for you. I love it......and try not to miss a show!
One of my favourites
Cam doesn't pull any punches in though provoking interviews and commentaries. You may disagree, but he does make you think. This is what podcast was meant to be.
