Curtin’s Cast

Curtin’s Cast

A fortnightly podcast produced by the John Curtin Research Centre (JCRC), Curtin’s Cast takes a deep dive into Australian and global politics, culture, and ideas.

Hosted by JCRC Executive Director Nick Dyrenfurth and RedBridge Director and PSA CPSU NSW Conference guest, Kos Samaras, the show features candid conversations with political leaders, activists, and thinkers. Episodes cover a range of topics, from election analyses to discussions on political ideologies and leadership.

Named after wartime Labor Prime Minister John Curtin, the podcast has a pro-Labor slant, but this does not affect the integrity of the information the duo presents. In fact, their interview subjects include West Australian right-wing parliamentarian Andrew Hastie and conservative independent Dai Lei.

A recent podcast examines the aftermath of the Liberal Party’s substantial losses in May 205 and how the conservatives can reverse their decline. Other issues include how opinion polling works and the appeal of Donald Trump to voters.

Overall, Curtin’s Cast stands out as a valuable resource for those interested in the nuances of political discourse, offering thought-provoking discussions that inspire and inform. It’s an entertaining way to keep informed.
