About this listen

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.

  • #74 - Scott Challen - Who Really Holds Power in Australia?
    Jan 21 2026

    🎙 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.

  • #73 - Australians vs the Agenda - Anthony Khallouf Breaks Down the Extremism Bill
    Jan 18 2026

    🎙 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 We Cover: 📰 Independent media and why it matters more than ever ⚖️ The Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 🏛️ Government power, overreach, and accountability 🔒 Anthony’s time in a supermax prison during the COVID era 🗣️ Free speech, protest, and the cost of dissent 🇦🇺 What Australia risks becoming if this continues unchecked

  • #72 - Elliot Loney - Comedy, History, Free Speech & What Australia Is Becoming
    Jan 14 2026

    🎙 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
