2 Worlds Collide Podcast

Sam Bamford

169 episodes

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.

More about the show

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.
