Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.

Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?

Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a 'shadow pandemic' of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics.

From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan 'the man' Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style.

The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let's watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho.

Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.

    The Two Jacks - Episode 70 - Trump Trial

    The Two Jacks - Episode 70 - Trump Trial

    For the first time in history a US President is facing a criminal trial. In a New York courthouse, opening statements from prosecutors claimed that Trump's hush money trial was election interference but can they make that stick?
    In Australia, the government puts forward its migration act amendments in response to the High Court's decision which declared indefinite detention unconstitutional. Can the amendments survive another High Court challenge? HK Jack says the chances are good.
    JTI notes that Biden's polling is on the improve and when all five presidential candidates are polled, it seems Kennedy is taking support from Trump in these early days.

    The Two Jacks examine recent violent events in Sydney, the most recent the stabbing of an Assyrian Orthodox Bishop in a church in Western Sydney and the tragedy of the Westfield attacks in Bondi Junction. In the void where information is not immediately forthcoming misinformation rules on social media and sadly in the mainstream media, too.

    Episode 158 - Bondi - $DJT - Lehrmann - SovCits - Pete

    Episode 158 - Bondi - $DJT - Lehrmann - SovCits - Pete

    Big news week this one. The stabbing attack in Bondi has given us pause for thought on many levels. A lot didn't pause or think, however, and simply spoke. They spoke nonsense. Unfortunately this simply gave us more pause for thought. Things feel very messy.
    Trump has set up an elaborate 'pump and dump' scheme with the $DJT stock backed by Truth Social. This idiot conman cult leader has managed to convince other idiots to part with their money because meme stock hysteria and general stupidity.
    Nobody but the lawyers win with Bruce Lehrmann being legally declared (on a civil basis) a silly little rapist. Well, Justice Lee didn't call him that. But that's what he is.
    In SovCits we see a classic traffic stop where Trish does not f**k around and Pete makes us upset with his personal preferences. They're shit and he should be ashamed of them.

    PS - Episode is unedited because this is fresh news and I also have zero time to cut out Jack's breathing and lip smacks and my dopey mistakes - so enjoy this one nice and raw. This is what we actually sound like :-P
    Enjoy!

    The Two Jacks - Episode 66 - Where to for the Liberal Party?

    The Two Jacks - Episode 66 - Where to for the Liberal Party?

    Expanded polling shows the Coalition has been unable to bridge the gap between it and the Albanese government. The polling at this stage in the electoral cycle remains stubbornly 52-48. Polling aside, the Liberal Party continues to ignore what was its constituency and has a serious problem with women voters. HK Jack says the Libs never really stood a chance of winning the next election given the serious rejection of the Morrison government. JTI maintains that a loss at the next election creates the possibility of an existential crisis within the party.
    In other news, the Lehrmann-Higgins legal battles plummet to new depths with allegations Lehrmann lied under oath and forwarded copies of the criminal brief to the Channel Seven network.
    Around the world, new Scottish laws again criminalise speech and in the US, Trump's Media network cops a flogging on the equities' markets.
    In sport, the Rabbits chalk up a much needed win while the Pies are back in town in the AFL.

    Episode 157 - Kambo Frog Poison

    Episode 157 - Kambo Frog Poison

    This week we are taking a deep dive into kambo frog poison. Two Australians are the subject of coronial inquiry after dying soon after the transdermal application of amazonian frog poison. Best part is - it doesn't even get you high. But it makes you sick. And then not being sick feels really good.
    It's mostly dumb. Is there something to it? Maybe. But it's mostly dumb.
