Episode 6- Hindsight is 2020
In this very special NYE episode of the Devil’s Podvocate Dave and Anna take a look back over the dramatic events of 2020 and give you their raw, drink fuelled, personal thoughts on everything from the Australian Bushfires, to Harry and Megan, COVID-19, BLM, Ghislaine Maxwell, Harvey Weinstein, and the American Elections. F**k you, 2020, you will not be missed!
US Election Special
How could we not wade in and throw about opinions on the most important and hotly contested presidential race in history?! The polls point to a Democratic victory, but will the MAGA maniac Donald trump Biden? Winner takes all...for better or worse...
9/11
Cancel Culture
In Episode 3 we tackle the terror of Twitter, frenemy of Facebook, and ire of Instagram as we explore the so-called 'cancer' of free speech and constructive debate: Cancel Culture. Power to the people, or pessimistic prohibition? Social justice, or social shaming? To J.K., or not to J.K . (jk). Don't cancel us until you've listened to Dave and Anna argue each side!
Cats Vs Dogs
In Episode 2, we throw ourselves into the fray of a battle that has been raging for eons. From the Ancient Egyptians to Modern Day Presidents, furry friends have been constant companions...but which is the better buddy? Are our feline friends first in the loyalty league? Or is it our canine companions that crush the competition? Join Dave and Anna as they go paw to claw, and see which one has their opponent licked!
COVID 19
In our very first episode we talk about the scourge of 2020, the socially distant crown prince of contagion, and the topic on everyone's lips (behind the masks): COVID 19. This week we argue, bicker and actually have a bit of craic picking sides on whether or not COVID 19 is a malicious man made malady or if it's just nature giving us a good kick up the arse. Which one of us is talking sense...and which one is talking shite?
