In this episode, Jan and Antoinette reflect on their decision to attend what’s being called Australia’s biggest anti-war march. Fresh off that Harbour Bridge high, they grapple with the chaotic, contradictory and downright distorted media framing of the protest. At the Logies, things felt … well, the same. Veteran Ray Martin’s speech piqued our interest but the moment was quickly lost. There’s also a not-so-stellar call that raises sharp questions about editorial integrity and sharper questions about morality. Under gentle duress, Jan gives (rare) praise to a podcast that cracks a historic code to reveal a dark truth and Antoinette tips her hat to a gutsy little newsletter punching well above its weight.It’s A Yes:The Descendants episode 1: decoding a massacre – Full Story podcastTrueNorth Newsletter curated by Denise ShrivellWhere to donate to support Gaza: Plan InternationalAmnesty InternationalMedicines Sans Frontiers UNICEF Gaza crisis appealJayson Gilham’s legal crowdfundingSupport Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.Thanks to @jaidanielpyne for composing the music for our podcast.
