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.

We have a guest! Not since the incredible Meredith Burgmann lent us an hour of her time back at the very start have we let someone into our closely guarded house. But Kesting is a legend. He could sn…
During conversation about the absurd new craze around NFTs, Jack was inspired to look into the cartel scam that is modern art. Price fixing and tax evasion underpin a bullshit market designed to keep…
Have you found yourself wearing a mask, baseball cap and trenchcoat to the shops when you feel like having a gaytime? Do you hide your collection of racist lollies when your woke friends come over, o…
Well in what was intended to be a quick wrap of a few very naughty boys it turned out to be a bloody 3 part series. And we're all better for it! Each of these sociopaths deserve an episode to themsel…
It's the long awaited and unexpected part two of the worst crims in history countdown! As we explained last week, we kinda meant for this to be a one part affair but damn there's so much to cover. Ev…

What's with people in the health, fitness and wellness movement being pilled to the gills? Why is the peaceful art of yoga becoming a festering pile of right wing intolerance?!?
We have a look in our …
In this weeks deeper dive we look at mole children! The ridiculous q-anon conspiracy theory that claims a network of tunnels is used to house tortured children who are used to harvest adrenochrome fo…

Heads up - Joel's audio is a bit average this week. It's not too bad, but not the usual quality. Jack, as per usual, sounds amazing.
This week we cover multi level marketing! It's often less of a busi…
This week we look at the decline in crime rates. Often referring to Don Wedderburn's work on this (his new book The Vanishing Criminal is a pretty comprehensive take on this) we look at the decline i…
This week our deep dive is on medical misinformation.
Some of you may not be aware of this, but Jack has had a pretty steep battle with cancer over the past few years and through some pretty advanced …
The storm that never came! The mass arrest event that has been promised for years now was meant to come on January 20th. The thing is though, it didn't. And really it was never going to. So we have a…
Get out your popcorn kids, it's inauguration day! Will there be mass arrests? Have the military got control of the government yet? Is Trump serving his second term after invoking the peacock act of 1…
