The World We Live In
04/26/21 • 36 min
It's Mel & Simon this week, as Dom headed out of town before Perth was thrown into lockdown, with new COVID-19 cases coming out of hotel quarantine again and spreading into the community.
We discuss how the state's Premier, Mark McGowan, has NOT "kept us safe", despite the media and a naive public lapping up his rhetoric that he has kept us safe, and how his government has been incompetent and negligent in allowing the latest outbreak from quarantine in to the community.
And we have our say on the European Super League controversy that arose last week.
Then we finish with a classic. One of the most inspirational speeches in recorded history, by Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film, "The Great Dictator", which he wrote, directed, produced, scored and starred in.

Up Klose with Karl
We're livestreaming the podcast on Facebook with a special guest!
It's a robust family affair with listener Karl. He's Mel and Dom's cousin and a keen listener of the Chronicles, and he's lucky enough to get his mug on camera in this 4-way free-for-all. The 4 of us begin with some Italian soccer trash talk before we get into the rape accusations leveled at Australia's Attorney General, Christian Porter. And it's a very interesting discussion with some varied opinions. Some state vs federal politics talk. We also discuss Joe Biden's mental state and U.S. politics. And we finish up our chat with a bit about The Sopranos, funny movies, and Karl's favourite topic: conspiracies. Then we close the show with Stevie Van Zandt talking about being Silvio Dante on The Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen's sidekick in the E Street Band. ******

Reflections on 20 years since September 11
Mel and Simon reflect on what has happened in the 20 years since September 11, the significance of the event on the world, and the repercussions that we are seeing to this day because of the events of that day.
We also discuss the United States military's bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, an update on our COVID-19 vaccinations, and the effects of Australia's state border closures.
Plus we have a business update, as we have created a media production company, Media Chronicles, which now produces an Italian football podcast called Serie A Chronicles, hosted by well known British football journalists.
