Comedy, Conspiracies and Culture. Branchy and Delby tackle fake news, real news and the questions you’ve always wanted to know with different guests every week
What really happened at Roswell in 1947… and did an alien actually communicate with humans?
In this episode, Branchy & Delby break down the infamous “Alien Interview” transcripts — the story of a surviving extraterrestrial who allegedly communicated with a nurse through telepathy after a crash retrieval. We dive into the most mind-bending parts of the transcripts, question whether it’s truth or psyop, and explore what it would mean if any of it is real.
We also unpack Delby’s recent TED Talk and the idea of turning your life into a game — shifting perspective, embracing challenge, and playing it with intent.

Luke Toki joins us and things get weird quick… We dive into the fuel crisis and the theories behind it — who’s really pulling the strings and why it never quite adds up. From there it somehow turns into ghost stories, strange encounters, and a few moments that genuinely make you question what’s going on behind the curtain.
It’s one of those episodes that swings between chaos, curiosity and proper laughs — classic Hard Yarns.

I’m joined by Chris Pucillo for a deep dive into the Book of Enoch — unpacking the Watchers, the Nephilim, and the hidden ideas that didn’t make it into the Bible. We expand into the deeper meanings behind religion and ancient texts, questioning what’s been interpreted, translated, and possibly misunderstood over time.
Along the way we weave in comedy, parenting, and how small communities bring us back to presence. It becomes a conversation about less being more — and how real meaning is found in connection, simplicity, and actually being present.

Branchy is joined by Konrad Benjamin also known as Punters Politics to unpack Australia’s gas industry… the loopholes, the billions at stake, and why it feels like we’re getting stitched up. What could it look like if we actually taxed or used our own resources properly?
We also dive into ASIO laws and the line between security and overreach, the political landscape, and how to think about leaders beyond party lines. We also discuss religion, belief systems, and where these conversations can go when you let them flow.
Part politics, part philosophy… a proper yarn.

Branchy sat down with David Hughes and Tate Middleton from Pigeonholed Podcast for a loose, honest yarn on what it actually takes to build a podcast from scratch. We get into learning comedy the hard way, finding your voice, bombing, improving… and why just starting is everything.
We also dive into travel, perspective, and how getting out into the world shapes not just your content — but who you are.
No filters, just a proper chat about creating, evolving, and backing yourself.

Author Holly Bridges joins me to reframe autism and neurodivergence as a different way of experiencing reality — not something broken. We dive into the “void” so many are feeling right now — directionless, uncertain, like something big is coming but we can’t explain it. What if it’s not dysfunction… but recalibration?
A shift in the nervous system. A new way of seeing. We also challenge rigid religion, explore deeper interpretations of ancient texts, and land on one truth — the anxiety so many feel might come from everything left unsaid.
Speak it… and something changes.

Branchy is joined by Blake Richardson for a raw conversation about life on and off the set of War Machine. Filming across Australia and New Zealand with Alan Ritchson and a tight-knit crew, Blake reflects on the bonds formed and the trust built in high-pressure environments.
But what happens when it all ends?
We dive into the crash that follows the high — the quiet, the loss of purpose, and the weight that hits after achieving something extraordinary. Blake opens up on the moment he realised there may be something bigger at play than just his own will, and how that shifted his perspective on success, identity, and fulfilment.
Because chasing greatness is one thing… learning how to live after it is another.

Branchy and Delby dive into the teachings of Dolores Cannon — unpacking the idea of a timeline split, New Earth vs Old Earth, and the choice between love and fear as well as the ability we all have to tap into the Collective Subconscious
We explore how this shift could be playing out in real time, the systems keeping people stuck, and what it means to consciously choose your path.
Branchy also puts her method into practice after recording meditation quieting the mind and tapping into the subconscious — sharing insights and answers around what was transcribed and what’s really happening in the world right now.
This one goes deep.

Branchy and Delby briefly touch on their New Zealand trip — a reminder of how good life can feel — but the real focus is back home.
They dive into the rising burnout across the education system, the financial stress hitting Australians through interest rate hikes, fuel prices and the cost of living, and how that pressure is spilling into everyday life.
From there, the yarn expands into the wider cracks showing — social tension, AFL antisemitism claims, and some of the bigger questions people are starting to ask.

What if Western Australia became its own country? In this episode, Branchy is joined by economist Professor Gigi Foster and former barrister Julian Gillespie, authors of Secession by Western Australia. Together they propose the bold idea of WA leaving the Australian federation and becoming an independent nation.
The proposal includes abolishing income tax, funding government through royalties on WA’s vast natural resources, and creating a sovereign wealth fund similar to Norway’s to secure long-term prosperity. The conversation also dives into government transparency, health system reform, and returning decision-making power to the people.
Is this a realistic pathway… or just a radical idea designed to challenge the system we’ve all accepted? Regardless this is a conversation that will make you question how our country is run.
