About this listen

Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.

Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?

Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a 'shadow pandemic' of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics.

From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan 'the man' Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style.

The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let's watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho.

Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.

    So the episode title is courtesy of ChatGPT and proof that AI is not going to replace us - yet.

    What?

    Anyway here's more AI slop. I didn't see the episode 117 but I'm on holiday so I am doing it later.

    Episode 186 - RIP Denis - Minnesota Motives - Cooker Update
    Jun 18 2025

    No AI slop shownotes (as is now tradition) because I did this edit in two parts. But basically Jack sees off his mate Denis Ryan who listeners will know was a Ballarat detective who fought the church to stop child sex offending and was harshly punished for his good deeds. We also look at the idiots saying the Minnesota assassinations were 'left wing violence'. We discuss the relevance of cookers which brings us right to Monica's latest grift - the hollow and pointless private prosecution of Dan Andrews. And then we have SovCits, MAGA paedos and BABET!

    Big week folks. Enjoy!
