Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the Rossdale Homes garage on another chilly Adelaide morning for a wide-ranging Court of Public Opinion. With the studio computer still down, Jeremy roams freely: Aldi is crowned Australia's cheapest supermarket, the Vespa turns 80, and SA Opposition Leader Ashton Hearn's second pregnancy prompts a frank discussion on whether a party leader can juggle high office and motherhood — and Jeremy's contrarian take on taxpayer-funded parental leave. The heart of the show is the Karl Stefanovic saga: sacked by Channel Nine after interviewing controversial figure Tommy Robinson on his new podcast. Jeremy uses it to reflect on freedom of speech, media loyalty, and the seismic shift from radio and TV to podcasts and live streaming — pointing to CBS shutting 700 US radio stations after 100 years. Drawing on his own extraordinary career — the Truro murderer, a Washington siege, standover threats from the builders' union — Jeremy argues that a broadcaster's greatest asset is its people. He closes on the $435 million Australia spends on multiculturalism. Live from the dining room table.
