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.

  • #95 - Lisa Spencer - DEI (Didn't Earn It), Retardation & The Disconnect Happening In Australia
    Apr 16 2026

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Spencer — commentator and outspoken voice on culture, identity, and modern Australia — for a direct and unfiltered conversation about some of the most divisive topics in the country right now.

    We dive into DEI (Didn't, Earn & It), the “woke” culture, and how these ideas are shaping institutions, workplaces, and everyday Australians.

    Lisa shares her perspective on what she’s seeing on the ground — from shifting cultural expectations to the growing disconnect many people feel between everyday life and the decisions being made at the top.

    We also unpack personal responsibility, mindset, and how to stay positive and grounded in a world that feels increasingly chaotic — especially when trust in leadership and institutions is at an all-time low.

    Beyond that, we discuss freedom of speech, social pressure, and why more Australians are starting to question the direction the country is heading.

    This is a raw, honest conversation about culture, accountability, and keeping your head straight in a world that doesn’t always make sense.

    🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🔥 DEI and what it really means in practice 🧠 The rise of “woke” culture in Australia 📉 The growing disconnect between government and everyday Australians 💬 Freedom of speech and social pressure 💪 Staying positive and grounded in uncertain times 🇦🇺 The direction Australia is heading

  • #94 - Scott Jones AKA Scojo - The Truth About Ben Roberts-Smith
    Apr 13 2026

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Scott Jones — former Special Forces operator — for a direct and unfiltered breakdown of one of the most controversial cases in Australia right now.

    We dive deep into the Ben Roberts-Smith situation — unpacking the allegations, the 21 witnesses, and the reality of fighting a war that most Australians will never truly understand.

    Scott brings a ground-level perspective from Special Forces operations, breaking down what combat actually looks like, how decisions are made in those environments, and why many veterans are pushing back hard on how these cases are being judged years later.

    We also discuss the role of the media — including Channel 9 and Nick McKenzie — and how the narrative around this case has been shaped, challenged, and debated across the country.

    Beyond that, we unpack the broader implications for soldiers, accountability, and what this means for the future of those who serve.

    This is a raw, honest conversation that cuts through the noise and gives real insight into a story that has divided the nation.
