2 Worlds Collide Podcast
Hosted by Sam Bamford, a former Australian Army infantry paratrooper and combat veteran with a deployment to Afghanistan in 2012, the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast has evolved into one of Australia’s most outspoken independent platforms.
What began as conversations around resilience and mindset has grown into a podcast that challenges prevailing cultural narratives, questions political orthodoxy, and pushes for a common-sense approach, without apology.
Sam sits down with politicians, veterans, athletes, thinkers, and everyday Australians for long-form, uncensored conversations about what’s really happening in Australia and the West, from politics and national security to masculinity, culture, accountability, and the real-world consequences of bad ideas.
This podcast isn’t designed to make people comfortable.
It’s designed to ask hard questions, demand accountability, and say what others won’t.
If you’re tired of scripted media, safe opinions, and being talked down to, 2 Worlds Collide is for you.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Scott Challen for a direct and wide-ranging conversation on power, politics, and what’s unfolding in Australia right now.
Scott is a businessman, a founder of the Australia Lobbying Group (ALG), and the voice behind the Shallow Chal Instagram page. He has also been a driving force behind the Marches for Australia, playing a key role in organising and mobilising large-scale public demonstrations around immigration and government accountability.
We break down the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 — what it actually contains, why it has alarmed so many Australians, and what it signals for free speech, protest, and political dissent in this country. We also unpack the role of the Australia Lobbying Group, how lobbying really works behind the scenes, and discuss the rallies held on Australia Day in Brisbane, why they occurred, and why they’ve become such a national flashpoint.
This episode isn’t spin.It isn’t theory.It’s real-world experience, facts, and uncomfortable truth.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Anthony Khallouf for a direct, wide-ranging conversation on media, power, and the state of freedom in Australia.
Anthony runs one of the most effective independent news and media organisations in the country and is, in my view, one of the best in his field. He’s been on the front line of accountability and knows firsthand what happens when you challenge the narrative.
We break down the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 currently being pushed through Parliament — what it really means, why so many Australians are alarmed by it, and why it deserves to be completely scrapped and thrown through the shredder. Anthony also speaks openly about his time spent in a supermax prison after attempting to organise rallies during the COVID era, and what that experience revealed about dissent in modern Australia.
Important: Anthony will be live streaming from Parliament in the coming days as this bill is debated and potentially passed. To follow this in real time, head to his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ausvstheagenda
This episode isn’t theory.It’s lived experience, facts, and uncomfortable truth.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Elliot Loney for a sharp, wide-ranging conversation that blends humour, history, and hard truths.
Elliot is a stand-up comedian and widely regarded as Australia’s best impersonator — but beneath the comedy is a deep understanding of Australian culture, military history, and the direction this country is heading.
We cover Australia’s military history from WWI through to Afghanistan, the impact of DEI on institutions and culture, the state of comedy in a time of censorship, and Castle Law — all through the lens of common sense, satire, and lived experience.
This episode balances laughs with serious reflection.Comedy, when done right, tells the truth others won’t.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🎖️ Australia’s military history — WWI to Afghanistan🎭 Comedy, satire, and truth in modern Australia🏛️ DEI and its impact on culture and institutions⚖️ Castle Law, self-defence, and personal responsibility🧠 Free speech, censorship, and the limits placed on comedians🇦🇺 What Australia risks losing if history and humour are forgotten

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Jackson O’Doherty for a wide-ranging and honest conversation that goes well beyond what most people see online.
Known for his massive social media following and viral content, Jackson opens up about his rise on social media, the pressures that come with influence, and why he wanted to show a different side of himself in a long-form setting.
We dive into the growing attack on men, why it’s okay to want a traditional life, the Bondi incident and national response, and how younger Australians are being shaped, or misled, by culture, media, and politics.
This episode isn’t about clicks or characters.It’s about perspective, responsibility, and real conversation.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🚹 The growing attack on men in modern Australia🏠 Why wanting a traditional life is not something to apologise for🕯️ The Bondi incident and how it was politicised📱 Jackson’s rise on social media and life behind the content🧠 Influence, responsibility, and the younger generation🇦🇺 What Australia risks if these conversations stop happening

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Chris Kateris — better known as Big Chocky — for one of the most raw and confronting conversations we’ve had on the show.
At a time when speaking honestly comes at a cost, Chris speaks openly about the Bondi incident, the moral failure of the Australian government, and what he sees as a growing attack on men in modern Australian society.
We unpack how tragedy is quickly politicised, how accountability is constantly deflected, and why everyday Australians — particularly men — are increasingly blamed, vilified, and silenced rather than supported.
This is not a comfortable conversation.But it’s a necessary one.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🕯️ The Bondi incident and the national reaction🏛️ Government morality, leadership failure, and hypocrisy🧠 The cultural narrative surrounding masculinity and blame⚖️ Accountability — who’s held responsible and who isn’t🚹 The growing attack on men and its consequences for society🇦🇺 What Australia risks becoming if this continues unchecked

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Matt Canavan — Federal Senator, former Resources Minister, and one of the most outspoken critics of net zero, energy insanity, and Canberra groupthink.
Matt doesn’t tiptoe around the issues. He says what most politicians won’t — and in this conversation, we go straight at some of the biggest and most uncomfortable topics facing Australia right now.
We unpack the Bondi tragedy, the national conversation that followed, and the political responses that came out of it. We also dig deep into net zero, Australia’s worsening energy crisis, and how government ideology is actively making life harder for everyday Australians.
This is a serious, honest conversation about policy, accountability, and the consequences of decisions being made far away from the people who pay for them.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🕯️ The Bondi events and the broader national response⚡ Australia’s energy crisis — and why power bills keep rising🌱 Net zero ideology vs economic reality🏭 The destruction of Australia’s natural resource advantage🏛️ Canberra politics, accountability, and who really pays the price🇦🇺 What Australia needs to do if it wants a future that actually works

This week on the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I’m doing something different.
Instead of hosting, I jumped on someone else’s show — and I sat down with Brodie Buchal, host of the Brodie Buchal Podcast (YouTube: @BrodieJamesBuchal) for a no-filter conversation about my military career, what’s gone wrong in Australia, and the war on masculinity happening right under our noses.
Brodie gave me the space to go deep — from Afghanistan to politics, national identity, accountability, the cost-of-government crisis, and why young men are struggling to find purpose in a culture obsessed with weakening them.
It was real, honest, and one of the most personal conversations I’ve done on camera.
Massive shoutout to Brodie for having me on — and for letting me re-release the episode here for the 2WC community.

🧭 In This Conversation We Cover:🎖 My career in the Australian Army and Afghanistan🔥 What’s happening to Australia culturally & politically💪 The coordinated attack on masculinity🇦🇺 Why young Australians feel like the country has turned against them⚠️ Immigration, debt, and a system designed to keep people silent🛑 Why people must speak up — even if it costs something

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Carlos Quaremba — Victor Harbor councillor, One Nation’s SA State President, and now the party’s lead candidate for the 2026 South Australian Legislative Council election.
Carlos has been making waves for calling out government incompetence, exposing the cost-of-living crisis, and taking a wrecking ball to net zero policies that are punishing everyday South Australians. He’s unapologetic, direct, and one of the few voices in South Australian politics willing to stand up for working people instead of donors, bureaucrats, and global agendas.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we dig into the real issues facing South Australia — housing, power bills, debt, immigration, local government, and why both major parties have abandoned the average Australian. Carlos doesn’t mince words, and after hearing this, you’ll understand why Pauline Hanson called him a leader who “won’t drop an issue until he gets answers.”
This one is about accountability, truth, and taking back the state from the political class who’ve run it into the ground.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:💸 Why South Australians are being crushed under cost-of-living pressures🏠 The housing crisis and how policy failure got us here⚡ How net zero ideology is driving up power bills🏛 The decay inside local government — and how to fix it🇦🇺 Why Carlos believes it’s “time for One Nation in South Australia”🗳 What 2026 means — and what’s really at stake for the state

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Edward Schuller — National Secretary of the Teachers’ Professional Association of Australia (TPAA), reformer, and one of the few voices in education willing to challenge the system from the inside.
Edward has made waves for standing up to bureaucratic control, calling out ideology creeping into classrooms, and fighting to give teachers and parents their voice back. He’s not afraid to take on the establishment — from teachers’ unions and government departments to the cultural agendas shaping what our kids are taught.
In this honest and unfiltered conversation, we dig into the state of Australia’s education system — what’s really happening behind the staffroom door — and how ideology, policy failure, and top-down control are reshaping the next generation.
This one goes beyond education — it’s about truth, integrity, and protecting the minds of tomorrow.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🎓 Why Edward believes the education system is failing both teachers and students📚 How ideology and bureaucracy are taking over the classroom💡 The importance of critical thinking and restoring balance in education🔒 The culture of fear, censorship, and silence inside teaching🇦🇺 What needs to change if we want Australian kids to grow up free-thinking and independent

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Senator Malcolm Roberts — One Nation Senator, straight-talker, and one of the few politicians in Canberra willing to call out the lies, hypocrisy, and corruption eating away at Australia’s democracy.
Malcolm has built a reputation for saying what others won’t — challenging the mainstream narratives around government overreach, climate policy, global agendas, censorship, and the slow erosion of Australian sovereignty. He’s been slammed, censored, and misrepresented — but he’s never backed down.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we cut through the political spin and talk about what’s really going on — from the cost-of-living crisis and foreign influence, to climate control, digital IDs, and the growing disconnect between the people and their so-called leaders.
This isn’t your average political chat. It’s a deep dive into truth, accountability, and the future of Australia — from one of the few voices still fighting for the people inside Parliament.
🧭 In This Episode We Cover:🇦🇺 Why Malcolm believes the government has lost touch with everyday Australians💸 How policy failures are driving the cost-of-living crisis☁️ Climate narratives, data manipulation, and who really benefits🧠 The truth about global influence and the push for control🔒 Censorship, free speech, and standing up for Australian sovereignty🔥 How you can stay informed and fight back against political deception
