There’s a deeper, darker side this time too, as the Verhoeven’s confront the brutal bullying Paul suffered during his childhood and the decisions his parents made around dealing with it. This is an intriguing conversation about father son dynamics. Thanks to Paul Verhoeven & John Verhoeven, and Professor Stephen Cordner.

Into his memories of Jon-Benet as a normal little girl. To memories of Patsy, and how this mother, and wife, ever managed to move on with her life. How he has no doubt in his mind that there was a killer in their house that night, but it wasn't her brother Burke.

You might have heard of David Icke. He is a former British football player, a BBC presenter, and arguably the world's most famous conspiracy theorist. He calls himself a full time investigator into who, or what, is really controlling the world. He has written 20 books. And he has some pretty incredible theories about what is really going on in the world. Like that the moon is a hollowed-out alien space station and that Hillary Clinton is actually half reptilian. So take a deep breath. Relax. And come with me on a journey of a very curious mind. Follow David Icke on Twitter here.

Is rape ever funny? Can you ever joke about violence and abuse? Are there good rape jokes and bad rape jokes? Those are the questions Meshel Laurie wants answered, and in the process, she speaks to Ray Badran, the comedian who was at the centre of a storm about exactly that earlier this year, when a heckling incident at his comedy show went viral.

This Winter, there's a group of Australians who are trying to get arrested. For Melbourne's homeless population, living on the street can be so brutal at this time of year that they would rather be locked up, just to be warm and dry and have some food. In this extraodinary episode of The Nitty Gritty Committee, Meshel Laurie went to the village that recently sprung up around Melbourne Town Hall to talk to people who understand the realities living on the streets. She visits Enterprize Park, the site of an infamous murder of a homeless teen by a private schoolboy, and she talks to people working on the front line of services in Melbourne. And, of course, she tells us what those of us lucky enough to have a roof over our heads can actually do to help those who are caught up in Australia's growing homelessness epidemic.

WARNING: THIS PODCAST CONTAINS VIOLENT AND EXPLICIT CONTENT Michael Ware was taken by ISIS and survived. The foreign correspondant has been held at gunpoint more than once in his career. He’s seen people killed in front of him. Been almost beheaded and reported on issues that most of us could not comprehend. And he’s come out the other side, through years of PTSD, to tell his story. He joins me to talk about his career, the future of warfare with ISIS and what it was like in the moments he thought he was about to be beheaded. This conversation is quite a ride. It's content is brutal at times, at others it's playful, fascinating, combative and unhinged, but to be honest, it's exactly what I expected from a man who's pushed himself to the limit and survived. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted, or for children's ears. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

And he details the challenges of his latest posting, as Senior Integrity Advisor for Greyhound Racing Victoria. The job? Stamp out animal cruelty.

Have you ever seen a man as awkward as Luke McGregor? It was always his calling card as a comedian, but turns out it was a theme that ran through his whole life. Especially, his love life. He was a 25 year old virgin who would pretend to his friends that sex was something that was regularly going on in his life. But prior to exploring his sexuality on his six-part ABC iview documentary ‘Luke Warm Sex,’ he had actually only had sex twice. Ever. Luke talks to me about the connection between anxiety and mojo (or lack thereof), orgasmic meditation and plush toy vaginas. He also gives a lot of insight into how his love life has changed since filming finished. Spoiler alert: there's girlfriend talk. Whooo!

Let's get one thing clear. Jordan Raskopoulos is not a unicorn. Although, hey, she has no judgement if you are. But Jordan is sometimes treated as a unicorn, because she is a transgender woman, AND a member of one of Australia's most successful comedy acts, The Axis of Awesome, who tour worldwide and have had 100 million YouTube hits. Jordan has been in Axis since before, during and after her transition. Jordan talks about how her life has changed since transitioning, how it has affected her role in one of Australia's favourite comedy acts, what cisgender means, and she brings us a new understanding of the term "gender dysmorphia." It's a conversation worth hearing.

It's the comedy of life with some of the funniest fellas I know. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is underway and I’m more nervous about this festival than I have been since my first festival. To ease my nerves, I’ve organised some chats with a couple of members of my #squad. Tommy Little, Tripod, Al Murray, Peter Helliar, Wil Anderson, Greg Fleet and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes. This year I’m producing a show for someone else which I’ve never done before. It’s the first festival show for a brilliant lady called Shiralee Hood who won the Deadly Comedy award for Indigenous comedians a few years ago. Please enjoy, and then PLEASE book tickets to Shiralee’s show! http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/shiralee-hood-rock-the-boat-victoria-hotel-melbourne-vic/venueartist/156199/2199688 Hosted on Acast.

Dr Susan Carland was raised in a similarly Christian, white bread, Anglo environment to mine, so how did she get from there to here? She's married to Waleed Aly. She has two children. And a PHD. So how did she become one half of Australia’s pre-eminent Muslim power couple? In a very honest conversation, Susan speaks about converting to Islam at 19, marrying Waleed and why she chooses to wear the Hijab.
