2 Worlds Collide Podcast

2 Worlds Collide Podcast

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.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
