Welcome to the first (official) episode of Shouldn'ta Come with Yani and Ciaran! Today begins a three-part journey into the primest of ministers, Anthony Albanese. From his government-housing, left wing unionist upbringing to the leader of Straya, we discuss his past, present, and speculate on his future. We also work out how to say 'Albanese'.

Thank you Simon for your help editing this episode!

Welcome back to Shouldn'ta Come! Today we are diving deep into the yolky lore of Peter Dutton, notorious egg. This is a long one, but going forward episodes should be roughly an hour long. Hope you like your pollies poached!

Our first main episode will be out next Wednesday 11 December - get ready for some prime (minister) Albo.

Welcome to Shouldn'ta Come, a podcast about silly Aussie politicians and their history. Our pilot episode about Big Bill Shorten covers the man, myth, and legend himself. Come with us on a journey through time and space—mostly 1967–2024 in Melbourne—to learn a little about the man that would (never) be Prime Minister.
