This six-part series explores the complex intersections of social cohesion, media influence, extremism, and rising antisemitism in the wake of the events at Bondi and October 7. Featuring a diverse panel of experts, journalists, and community leaders, the podcast delves into the mechanics of cancel culture, the spread of mis- and disinformation, and the structural roots of modern political polarization. Ultimately, the series seeks to answer difficult questions about legal accountability and how society can move forward to repair fractured communities.

He’s joined by author Julie Szego, journalist Michael Visontay, and Jewish Independent editor Deborah Stone to unpack how October 7 and the rise in antisemitism are shaping campaign strategies, shifting voter sentiment, and influencing the political outlook in these pivotal seats.
