Serious Danger

Emerald Moon & Tom Ballard•seriousdangerpod.com

Serious Danger is a podcast about our broken political system and its greatest threat: the Greens. Join traitorous SJWs Emerald Moon and Tom Ballard as they discuss the #auspol news of the week, chat to key figures from the left movement, and talk about how to win a future for all of us. This is NOT an official Greens party podcast, but it IS the official podcast of trying to not go insane while experiencing the sh*tshow that is Australian politics. / Produced by Michael Griffin / Twitter & Instagram @SeriousDangerAU / patreon.com/seriousdangerau / seriousdangerpod.com
