Hey, it's Sasha Barbagat.
Welcome to The Weekend Briefing, where we chat with the humans behind the headlines.
For the last 30 years, John Safran has been poking the bear.
Whether it be fronting up to the Ku Klux Klan's headquarters asking to join – he's Jewish, in case you didn't know – getting exercised by fundamentalist Christians or running naked through the streets of Jerusalem, he is no stranger to awkwardness, being uncomfortable or staring danger right in the face, even if he put himself there willingly.
He's always been obsessed with the taboo, religion, cultural identity, cults, weirdos and outsiders.
Now he's got a new show out that's diving into free speech and what is offensive and who gets to decide that.
John has got the gift of the gab and we cover a lot in our chat.
Yes, including his one week squat at Kanye West's abandoned mansion.
After my chat with John, we get into the weekend list with Helen Smith recommending everything to watch, see, do, eat and listen to.
But first, here it is, my chat with John Safran.
I hope you enjoy.
John Safran, welcome to The Weekend Briefing.
Before we hit record, I was actually bringing up an Instagram post I made in 2017, in May actually, and it was a picture.
You're probably not going to be able to see it, but it's actually a picture of you and I. Oh, okay.
And I captioned it, Congratulations, John Safran.
You've taken my grab a celeb in the hallway and forced them to take a photo with you, virginity.
I still have not grabbed a celebrity in the hallway and asked them to take a photo with me.
Well, to me, look, to me you were, my parents watched almost all of your documentaries as I was growing up and so I just grew up with you as, you know, a person who was of importance in Australia.
So I did take you as a celebrity.
