He’s had a multi-decade career at the steepest heights of the entertainment industry, with  top rating radio, TV and streaming shows as well as a successful New York pub, but there’s still one thing Hamish Blake has never done: A proper day’s work. His new show Unskilled Adult seeks to change that, as he enlists a crew of comedians, podcasters, and media careerists to learn the jobs of everyday Aussies.

From building planter boxes, catering weddings, welding a trailer and drywalling a salami shed, they take on tasks with the overconfidence you’d expect from a bunch of soft-handed simpletons who don’t even know the meaning of hard yakka. Hamish joins Clancy and Errol to chat through the struggles and triumphs of his new show

What the heck are the midterms? And how do they affect us down here? Former US correspondent for Nine, Charles Croucher, joins Betoota Talks to give us the run down on the many different political soap operas currently taking place across the United States. For the first time since the Obama era, it looks as if the US Democrats are the party trying new things - and it seems to be working. Does this make Trump old news?

One of Australia's most decorated living authors, Anna Funder, joins Betoota Talks to discuss about how the current state of global politics and economics feels kind of familiar. A keen student of pre-war Europe and an on-the-ground observer of Easter Berlin after the wall came down, Funder talks about modern wealth inequality like we might be in denial about how tough things really are. Why is trust in our democratic institutions so low? Why do the Tech Bros have a seemingly free rein? But she's always the optimist!

Former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie joins Betoota Talks to tell us how the world works. The first man to take on One Nation - and crush them - in the 1990s, Beattie explains how he tackled grievance politics head-on and let his opponents blow themselves up. He's never been above praising the Opposition, and he's certainly not shy of firing pot shots at his own mob. He's now working as an NRL commissioner and ia still a keen observer of Australian politics and sport - but deep down, he's still the North Queensland boy from the Atherton. He's from Queensland I can tell.

The nation's most esteemed political analyst and demographics wizard, George Megalogenis joins Betoota Talks to explain just how different Australia actually is to what our media, politicians and cultural commentators think it is. The demographics aren't changing, they have changed. The voting patterns are going back to what they used to be. Pauline Hanson has a ceiling of popularity because the average voter is a 37 year old 2nd generation migrant woman who will vote against anyone who attacks women's health and childcare. All of that and more!

The cult Kiwi heavyweight of comedy, Joe Daymond joins Betoota Talks this week to tackle one of the great political issues of our time: is Russell Crowe a Kiwi or and Aussie? Who gets to claim Crowded House? Why do the Kiwis want Kyle Minogue to be one of theirs so badly. The Betoota Advocate drafts up a list of our ten favourite Kiwis and he drafts up a list of his ten favourite Aussies. We then make three trades.
