Deb Knight’s Pollie Waffle and On The Trail: Election 2022 with Charles Croucher

With a federal election just around the corner, 9Podcasts has launched two new series to help you navigate the political landscape, unpack the key policy issues and give you greater insight into what makes our leaders tick.

We see them on our TV screens and hear them on the radio – and let’s be honest, we’re a little sick of them. They’re in it for themselves, and they only ever care about winning votes. None of them have any real-life experience – they’re totally out of touch, right? 

Well, Deb Knight’s Pollie Waffle is an opportunity to get to know the politicians we THINK we know: their upbringing, professional careers, and why they chose to enter the bear pit of Federal Parliament. And most importantly, do they REALLY believe the “pollie waffle” they dish up every day?

This in-depth interview series will introduce listeners to the people who represent us, away from the camera lights and scripted speeches. And all over a plate of delicious waffles.

On The Trail: Election 2022 speaks with some of Australia’s best political minds to condense years of fires, floods, lockdowns, lies, crisis and cost increases into the one decision we all have to make.

From the leaders, the tactics, the commercials and the campaigns themselves, On The Trail: Election 2022 analyses what’s happened, what will happen, and what it all means for you.

With the sound of Trump’s 2020 campaign events still ringing in his ears, Nine’s former US Correspondent Charles Croucher turns his attention to Canberra, where political tensions are rising as fast as consumer prices.

In a weekly podcast released each Friday, Charles speaks with Australia’s sharpest political minds, unpacking the key moments of the campaign as battle lines are drawn and babies are kissed.

On The Trail: Election 2022 features Nine’s leading political experts, spearheaded by 9News Political Editor Chris Uhlmann, together with 6PR’s Gareth Parker and 4BC’s Neil Breen.

Additionally, cut through the spin in a weekly segment from Australia’s leading creative, advertising and branding expert, 3AW Breakfast host Russel Howcroft, as he untwists the overt and covert campaign tactics designed to sell the sizzle.
