Shouldn'ta Come
by Yani & Ciaran
Hello and welcome to Shouldn'ta Come, with Yani and Ciaran. A podcast deep diving into Australian political figures and why all this nonsense is why a bunch of us shouldn't have come here.
Podcast episodes
Season 1
Mailbag #1: Pauline, Ned and SAlt
Hi everybody! Thanks for joining us for this Mailbag episode, where we answer some questions from our patrons! This week, we're talking about some old favourites—Queensland's most notorious MP ever (Pauline Hanson), Australia's most notorious bearded bushranger (Ned Kelly) and university campuses' most divisive spruikers (Socialist Alternative, or SAlt). If you'd like to ask a question for the mailbag, consider supporting us at patreon.com/shouldntacome. You can also follow us on instagram (shouldntacome) and email us at shouldntacome@gmail.com. We'll see you on Wednesday for Part 2 of our adventure into Chiropractic in Australia!
E14: Chiropractors, Consumer Law and Quackery in Australia (part 1)
Hi everybody! We are back with a two-parter, about the history of Chiropractic in Australia—the controversial super-massage that is weirdly popular here! This week we're going to be covering some prehistory and early history, trying to understand why there's so many Chiros here. You'll meet DD Palmer, the ACCC and so much back pain. If you're enjoying the show and would like to support us and submit to our mailbag, you can do so at our Patreon! If you'd like to keep up with what we're doing, you can head over to our Instagram, and if you have any questions (or would like to see sources about something) you can do so via our email, shouldntacome@gmail.com. Love you!
E13: Straya; or Symbolism, Themes , Rhetoric And 'Young' Australia
Welcome to Shouldn'ta Come! Today we are chatting about the symbolism in Australian culture from flags to Chiko Rolls. Hey did you know convicts had tattoos? Or that there are no less than fifteen national sports teams named after bouncing marsupials? Well, you do now! As always, you can contact us on shouldntacome@gmail.com and we now have an Instagram! Woah! Check us out @shouldntacome. Please enjoy the dulcet tones of our street, we live on a main road :)
E12: The Sydney Olympic LAMES
Hi everybody! Welcome back to Shouldn'ta come, Australia's number 1 podcast about how we shouldn't have done any of this, and all the worst bits. We're gonna talk about the Sydney Olympics today, so get ready to kill the child inside yourself, learn about the wheeling and dealing behind your favourite athletic event, and try to tune out the sounds of ex-tropical cyclone Alfred. It's been quite the week so we're not sure what next week will bring! If there's anything you'd like us to cover in particular, have any questions or want any sources, please get in touch at shouldntacome@gmail.com
E11: From Camp Hell to Somaliberg: The 1956 Melbourne Olympics (fixed audio)
Hi everybody, and welcome back to Shouldn'ta come! We decided to take a trip down memory lane to the Melbourne 1956 Olympics, and also do a little bit of true crime while we were at it. Tune in to learn about the Brownout Strangler, wonky housing policy and sports! Thank you to Simon for help editing this episode! You can find him at @bowertothebeople on Instagram and Bluesky.
