This week Clancy, Errol and Wendell turn their attention to the only sensible way to launch a rugby league season. By shipping it 12,000 kilometres across the Pacific and hoping Americans finally understand what a forward pass is. With the 2026 NRL season kicking off in Las Vegas, the show previews the year ahead. The contenders, the pretenders, the coaches already under pressure and the annual question of whether this is finally the Warriors’ year.

Thankfully, Fox League host and one of the game’s sharpest minds, Yvonne Sampson, joins the show to unpack Vegas Round, the shifting power dynamics across the competition, the young stars ready to launch and the veterans wondering if it's time to join the London Broncos. From expansion chat to premiership windows and which fanbase is most likely to implode by Easter, this is your unofficial and entirely unqualified guide to the 2026 NRL season.

Get around it before your club is mathematically eliminated by May.

BETOOTA TALKS: Ashes Moments with Peter Lalor PART 2

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

What turns a routine delivery into folklore? How does one wide ball at the Gabba trigger a generation of English PTSD? And why do the strangest, funniest and most chaotic moments always seem to find their way into this rivalry? In Part Two of our deep dive into Ashes mythology, Clancy & Errol once again sits down with Peter Lalor to revisit a fresh batch of chaos from the vault.

From Harmison’s first-ball moonshot that nearly killed second slip, to Stuart MacGill’s 12-wicket fever dream, to Colin Cowdrey waddling out of a Boeing 707 to save England with nothing but a borrowed bat and enormous optimism. Also examined are some of the more questionable cultural artefacts of Ashes lore, including David “Bumble” Lloyd’s broken cock yarn and Michael Slater belting 176 while Alan Mullally put the dog up Narromine's favourite son. It’s another lap through the moments that prove the Ashes is less a cricket series and more a centuries-old soap opera with better screenwriting.

BETOOTA TALKS: Ashes Moments with Peter Lalor Part 1

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 06:44:44 +0000

What is an Ashes moment, really? Why do grown men howl like rapid dogs over a ball that lands on a crack? And how did a couple of colonial summer sports turn into one of the world’s most unhinged rivalries? This week, The Betoota Advocate sits down with one of cricket’s most respected storytellers, Peter Lalor, to unpack the triumphs, meltdowns and outright fever dreams that have defined Australia v England, from Thommo rearranging David Lloyd’s tackle, to Scott Boland becoming a deity at the MCG. Join Betoota Talks as Clancy Overell and Errol Parker dig beneath the polite veneer of “Test cricket tradition” and explore the cultural fault lines, national insecurities and generational scars that make the Ashes what they are. A simmering, century-old grudge match wrapped in whites, sunscreen and mild sporting trauma.

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 18:00:00 +0000

What are eshays? Where is Sydney home to the world's best chicken burgers? What the hell has been happening in Australia's biggest city since the government introduced lock out laws. This week, The Betoota Advocate talks to one of Sydney's most razor-sharp cultural commentators, Monkeyboy. He's an author, an online oracle, and an unofficial anthropologist for a city of 6 million. Join Betoota Talks as they dig beneath the all-consuming obsession with property, and find out what's really going on in this sprawling megatropolis that was once recognised as a kooky home for gays, gangsters and pub rock.

BETOOTA TALKS: The Story of Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson (with Kriv Stenders)

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Before Trump there was Joh. A laconic right-wing Premier who ruled Queensland with an iron first for 20 years. A cowboy politician who was surrounded by corruption at every level - but always managed to avoid going down. At his disposal was a hippy-bashing police force that is alleged to have murdered numerous political opponents and whistleblowers. It’s a chapter of Australian history that everyone wants to forget. Especially Queenslanders. ESPECIALLY the National Party.

This week’s guest has done the opposite, one of Queensland’s great filmmakers, Kriv Stenders, joins the Betoota Talks to discuss this era of Australian politics, and his new documentary that’s available now on Stan. It’s tilted JOH - THE LAST KING OF QUEENSLAND

The Philippou Brothers Visit Betoota

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 03:01:46 +0000

Instead of the Weekly, we're taking a trip to Betoota's very own video store, with clerk Alexei Toliopolous.

Twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou are the most excited voices in Australian genre cinema since the release of their horror hit TALK TO ME. Their latest film, BRING HER BACK is another emotionally resonant horror exploration of grief and loss that, in many ways, surpasses their remarkable debut. Starring Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (THE SHAPE OF WATER), Billy Barrat (RESPONSIBLE CHILD), Jonah Wren Phillips (HOW TO MAKE GRAVY) and newcomer Sora Wong, BRING HER BACK is poised to be the horror event of 2025. It’s more than a pleasure to have RackaRacka peruse the shelves of the Last Video Store and pick out some of the films that influenced them.

In the last Betoota Talks before the election, we decided to have a chat to someone who isn't asking for you to vote for them this weekend.

One of the nation's leading economists, the Taree product swung by for a wide ranging chat about economics, environmentalism and growing up in timber logging country that's still battling with its identity.

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Josh Burns was the youngest member of the Labor caucus when he was elected to parliament in 2019, but he faces tough opposition on both sides to retain the pivotal seat of Macnamara at the upcoming election. Situated in Melbourne, Macnamara is one of the most diverse seats in the nation, home to a wide range of cultures, communities and ethnicities. At the last election, Burns defeated both the Liberals and the Greens by just 2% of the vote, and it could be an even closer finish this time.

BETOOTA TALKS: Victorian Socialist Purple Pingers & Democratic Campaigner Kyle Middleton

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 19:00:00 +0000

The first of our mid-week podcasts that will be published in the lead up to the election features two figures on opposite ends of the political scale. First up, a Senate candidate from the Victorian Socialists, Jordan Van Den Lamb, better known by his online persona Purple Pingers. Jordan is in the headlines again this week after Anthony Albanese had a shot at him because he is encouraging people in Victoria to squat in empty houses in response to the housing crisis. He's got some rather radical ideas and he does represent the fringe in Australian politics, but as we know in Australian politics, sometimes the fringe even gets a start.

The second interview you'll hear is with more of an establishment figure in politics. He's an American named Kyle Middleton. He worked on the Kamala Harris campaign in the last US presidential election and has a lot of interesting insights about what went wrong and what could have been done differently. We chat about how the American political system differs to the Australian political system, but also how the American system is heavily influencing the current Australian federal election campaign.

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 17:00:00 +0000

In Part 1 of our in-depth interview, Richard Clapton recounted his wild youth, from landing in London at the height of the Swinging Sixties, to living in an empty mansion in Berlin and partying with communists.

In Part 2, we explore the rise of Richard Clapton from a passionate young musician to an iconic figure in the Australian music scene.
Returning to Australia with a heart full of dreams and a guitar in hand, Richard Clapton faced a music industry that was still in its infancy.

Clapton shares stories of his early gigs in small pubs and clubs, where he honed his craft and began to build a loyal following.
He speaks candidly about the creation of his breakthrough album, Prussian Blue, and how its release marked a turning point in his career. The album's raw energy and authentic sound resonated with audiences, catapulting him to national fame.

He offers a behind-the-scenes look at life as a rising rockstar. He also discusses the impact of his music on fans and the enduring legacy of his work, which continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

INTERVIEW: Richard Clapton (PART 1)

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 17:00:00 +0000

His voice has been the soundtrack for Australian house parties and road trips for half a century, so it makes sense The Betoota Advocate would interview the iconic Richard Clapton in the lead up to the 50th Anniversary of his scene-shaking album Prussian Blue. But how did Richard Clapton become a rockstar before Australians even knew what a rockstar was? In Part 1 of this in-depth interview, Richard recounts his wild youth. From landing in London at the height of the Swinging Sixties, to living in an empty mansion in Berlin and partying with communists. That's before he even came back to Australia with his guitar and demanded someone give him a shot. In Part 2, we talk about the rise of Richard Clapton, but in Part 1, we talk about the origins.

As the Member for McMahon, Bowen thinks this election will be very close, and we haven't even seen the worst from the ScoMo cheer squad at NewsCorp yet. Which Liberal MP will join us for the final interview next week?

Ep 209- Celeste Liddle (Greens Candidate for Cooper)

Sun, 01 May 2022 20:00:00 +0000

While the Liberals panic over losing affluent inner-city seats to the Independents, the Labor Party faces the same age old challenge of The Greens taking their urban working class electorates. Celeste Liddle is a candidate gunning to do just that, in perhaps the most marginal Labor seat in the country. A unionist, feminist author and a member of the party's Indigenous caucus known as ‘The Black Greens’ - Liddle could easily become the newest MP for Cooper, a division that Labor only held onto by 1% in 2016.

Ep 208- Rebekha Sharkie (Centre Alliance)

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 20:00:00 +0000

This week’s guest, Rebekha Carina Che Sharkie represents the Division of Mayo, just south and east of Adelaide. A Ten Pound Pom who as a kid would sleep under tables in the rural pubs of South Australia while her dad played drums. She initially approached the Liberals for pre-selection a decade ago, but was told that a single mother would be a bad look for the party. So, she joined the Centre Alliance and got herself elected as an independent in 2016. After surviving the Parliamentary citizenship crisis a year later, she's been re-elected twice since - and it doesn't look like she's going anywhere.

The editors ask Hanabeth what her plans are if it comes down to a hung parliament, and do these Independents answer to higher powers?

In part 2 of this interview, the editors ask Brendan Cowell about living in London as a hedonistic Aussie thespian. Where was he when his beloved Cronulla Sharks won the 2016 Premiership?

Brendan imparts a lot of wisdom on these simply country folk from Betoota - his strongest words of advice, don't catch COVID-19 while living in a rat-infested underground basement apartment in Notting Hill.

Ep 147: Tana Douglas

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 19:00:00 +0000

What goes on tour stays on tour - unless you're the the first woman roadie in the world At just fifteen, Tana Douglas ran away to the circus that was rock 'n' roll in the 1970s, taking a job with a young and upcoming band called AC/DC. While still a teenager she headed to the UK and later the US to work for a who's who of bands and artists. Life on the road was exhilarating, hard work, occasionally surreal but never dull, particularly when you're the only woman in the road crew and the #metoo movement is still 40 years away.

Whether wrangling Iggy Pop across Europe, climbing trusses while seven months pregnant, drinking shots of JD with Bon Scott backstage at Wembley, or donning a tailor-made suit to do lights for Elton at Windsor Castle, Tana did it all.

Loud is rock 'n' roll like you've never seen it before, by a woman who not only survived the all-male world on the road but climbed to the top and lived to tell the tale. Tana joins our editors to talk about it all and more.

The editors talk to Ronny about his rise from Melbourne comedy rooms to Crazy Rich Asians and The Daily Show - and how underwhelming it is to work with the ABC as a comedian. Very juicy stuff.

EP 86: Beau Ryan

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Recorded live from the Baxter Booth
It is not often we see Australians that successfully transition from a footy career into an entertainment career (except for Peter FitzSimons) - charismatic former sport stars are usually given a microphone and sent to the sideline, at best. But this week's guest bucks the trend. Former Wests Tigers and Cronulla winger turned host of The Amazing Race. This humble Illawarra boy has also dabbled with musicals, theatre, parody albums and commentating. Clancy and Errol get the good oil out of Beau Ryan, and ask the hard questions. Like, is this bloke Lebanese or what?

The second Olympian to appear on the Betoota podcast, Mack answers every question you've ever wanted to ask about aquatics. Namely, why do swimmers always have to get up so early when they have indoor pools to train in? Mack also says as much as he can about "the incident" involving another swimmer whose name rhymes with Moon Gang.

Ep 68: ORIGIN DECIDER SPECIAL (featuring Fire Up!)

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 20:00:00 +0000

It happens very rarely in the Origin arena, but 2019 has gifted us a Game III that is actually pivotal to the series result. Game I went down to the wire, Game II presented us with the extremely foreign feeling of being flogged. Now we have an actual decider. NSW look like they have some momentum, but QLD play well as the underdogs, traditionally. It is also not lost on anyone that the Blues have always had a unique skill set that allows them to lose the unloseable. So, to celebrate this memorable moment in rugby league history, Clancy and Errol have teamed up with the iconic NRL analysts from Fire Up! Listen as we have a balanced and jaded discussion about what could be expected as the final buzzer sounds on Wednesday night.

One half of the iconic hip hop duo Koolism, and now a label headhunter for new talent/ host of Triple J Hip Hop Show. Hau is one of the few notable Queanbeyan products that doesn't play some form of professional rugby - although it sounds like he could have. Today we are talking hip hop politics, trajectories, and the frosty relationship between the public broadcaster and Kerser.
