LIVE: Neil Jenman - The questions every home seller must ask - 10 July 2026
4d ago00:40:24Tap to summarizeAustralia's best-known real-estate consumer advocate Neil Jenman calls in to talk with Jeremy Cordeaux about his new book "Questions Every Seller Must Ask" — and to blow the whistle on the traps costing home sellers dearly. Neil takes aim at vendor-paid advertising, the "uniquely Australian scam" where sellers are asked to pay for marketing up front whether their home sells or not, explains why auctions are often the worst way to get the best price, how commissions really work, and the one word — "justify" — that changes the whole conversation with an agent. Practical, plain-spoken and firmly on the side of the ordinary buyer and seller.

Never one to shy from a contrarian view, the professor digs into the science behind the headlines, the economics of energy, and the yawning gap between political rhetoric and geological reality — with a few sharp words about ballooning public-sector salaries along the way. Provocative, informed and thoroughly entertaining.

4d ago00:47:38Tap to summarizeVeteran broadcaster and journalist John Ovenden joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table to swap stories from a remarkable career spanning more than half a century in radio and television. From the golden days of the industry to the simple joy of doing a program around a dining-room table — a nod to the very origins of Australian radio back in 1923 — John reflects on a life behind the microphone, the characters he's met, and the medium he still loves. Warm, nostalgic and full of heart.

LIVE: Peter Goers - Starring in The Man Who Came to Dinner - 10 July 2026
4d ago00:15:13Tap to summarizeAdelaide broadcasting legend and entertainer Peter Goers phones in to talk about taking the lead as the irascible, razor-tongued Sheridan Whiteside in "The Man Who Came to Dinner," the classic festive-season farce now playing at the Arts Theatre on Angas Street, Adelaide. Peter runs through the season — weekend evening shows plus matinees that are already nearly booked out — the production by director Sue Wiley, and the all-star local cast, which includes Jeremy's own son, Christopher. Along the way he spins a few irresistible showbiz yarns, including a memorable brush with Rex Harrison at the Savoy in London. Warm, funny and unmistakably Adelaide.

LIVE: Dr John Bruni - Modi, Iran and the world's flashpoints - 10 July 2026
4d ago01:18:01Tap to summarizeDr John Bruni, founder of SAGE International and host of The Focus, joins Jeremy Cordeaux at the table for a clear-eyed look at a turbulent world. They begin with Narendra Modi's crowd-pulling visit and Australia's large Indian diaspora — and why Modi is a far tougher operator than his public image suggests — before turning to the Middle East, Iran, the war, and the strategic chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz. Drawing on his years working in the region, John explains why the screaming headline is almost always wrong, and the truth far more complex than we're comfortable admitting. Essential listening for anyone trying to make sense of the global picture.

LISTEN: The Adelaide march the media ignored — multiculturalism, ramping & the housing squeeze
5d ago00:25:30Tap to summarizeJeremy Cordeaux in The Garage with Pete and Gary — the Thursday edition ahead of Friday's live show around the dining room table. An Ashura procession that took place in Adelaide on 26 June — and went, Jeremy argues, unreported — and what it says about selling multiculturalism as always benign. The health "ramping" con job and the curious silence of the ambulance union. Karl Stefanovic's podcast bump versus the Today Show's ratings. PropTrack's numbers on stamp duty outrunning house prices, government charges as nearly half the cost of a new home, and the falling-prices "auction apocalypse." The Liberals' rebranding trap. The attack on aspirational Australians. A Rutgers study on fathers of daughters. And "On This Day" — the Commonwealth of Australia (9 July 1900), why Australia Day belongs to 1947, and the original pressing of Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock." Full live show every Friday, 9am–12pm, at jeremycordeaux.com. Thanks to Rossdale Homes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LISTEN: Labor's $22.7 Billion Electricity Betrayal & Albanese's Podcast Blunder
1w ago00:19:19Tap to summarizeJeremy Cordeaux presents The Court of Public Opinion. The energy regulator's own report lays it out in black and white: electricity prices have risen $22.7 billion since Labor came to power — despite the promise of a $275 saving. Jeremy asks how Energy Minister Chris Bowen can keep blaming the previous government, and why net zero and the renewables push have made power dearer, not cheaper. Also in this episode: Anthony Albanese's cringeworthy podcast appearance filmed at The Lodge; One Nation's plan to scrap the Office of Multicultural Affairs; Tony Abbott's powerful London speech on mass migration; the case for banning gambling advertising; Fiji's Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and the politics of the South Pacific; plus Jeremy's "On This Day".

LISTEN: The Karl Stefanovic Sacking, Free Speech & Why CBS Just Killed 700 Radio Stations | Jeremy Cordeaux's Court of Public Opinion
2w ago00:22:05Tap to summarizeJeremy 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. TOPICS DISCUSSED Broadcasting from the garage; computer/system failure, no dates again Aldi named Australia's cheapest supermarket The Vespa turns 80 — mod culture, Adelaide nostalgia, what "Vespa" means SA Opposition Leader Ashton Hearn's second pregnancy — leading a party while mothering two small children Jeremy's contrarian view on taxpayer-funded parental leave (and agreeing with Pauline Hanson) The Karl Stefanovic saga — Channel Nine declining to renew, then sacking him over a Tommy Robinson podcast interview Freedom of speech and where its limits lie ("you can't yell fire in a crowded hall") The shift from radio/TV to podcasts and live streaming; CBS closing 700 US radio stations after 100 years Media economics — audience fragmentation, no critical mass for big stars and high overheads Kyle Sandilands' reported $100m/10-year deal and unsustainable contracts Loyalty in media — management backing its talent; Jeremy's builders' union standover story at 5KA Jeremy's career interviews — the Truro mass murderer (Walkley win) and the 1977 Washington Hanafi siege (NY gold medal) The $435 million Australia spends on multiculturalism; recent city demonstrations See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LISTEN: Inflation Lies, The "Widow Tax" Trap & The End Of The Christian Brothers | Jeremy Cordeaux's Court of Public Opinion
2w ago00:20:05Tap to summarizeThanks to Rossdale Homes, Jeremy Cordeaux broadcasts from the garage on the coldest day of winter for another no-holds-barred Court of Public Opinion. With the studio computer down, Jeremy runs free across the week's biggest issues: the inflation sleight-of-hand where Labor spruiks falling headline numbers while underlying inflation climbs to 3.6% — the figure the Reserve Bank actually watches — plus record-low auction clearances signalling a slowing housing market. He brands the PM's under-16 social media ban "show business" after 86% of kids found a way around it, unpacks Senator David Pocock's "widow tax" trap buried in the budget's negative gearing changes, and watches Jim Chalmers "build the aeroplane while it's up there." Jeremy also turns to the Venezuela double-earthquake catastrophe and its failed socialist government, a One Nation member crossing the floor to vote with Labor and the Greens, the ABC's renaming campaign, and the quiet end of the Christian Brothers in Australia after half a billion dollars in abuse payouts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
