In this powerful and timely episode of The Devil Dodger, Rev Jim is joined by Producer Shane (Iron Monarch Studios) and special guest Adam Smith for a candid conversation in the wake of the tragic violence at Bondi, an event that has shaken Australians well beyond Sydney.

With compassion at the forefront, the discussion focuses on unity over division, empathy over suspicion, and the importance of standing together as a community in the face of hate. The episode also explores difficult but necessary topics, including public safety, prevention, accountability, and what happens behind the gates when an alleged offender enters custody, examining corrective services processes, high-security detention, and the realities of incarceration.

As the conversation develops, the panel also tackles broader questions around firearms access, policy responses, and the role of government in protecting communities, while reinforcing a clear message: Australia has no room for terrorism or ideologies that target innocent people.

This is a raw, thoughtful, and deeply human discussion, one grounded in grief, resolve, and a determination to protect the Australia we know: open, fair, and united.

In this insightful episode, Rev Jim sits down with emerging town planner Jeremy Martens to explore the evolving idea of the 15-minute city, a bold urban planning concept that reimagines how we live, work, and move through our neighbourhoods.

Jeremy brings a fresh and practical perspective to the conversation, discussing:

• What the 15-minute city actually means, beyond the headlines.
• How this model can reduce traffic, improve public health, and strengthen local economies.
• The importance of community engagement and equity in urban design.
• The real-world opportunities, and obstacles, in bringing this vision to life, especially in rapidly growing towns.

Rev Jim guides the discussion with curiosity and clarity, helping listeners understand not just the theory, but the human impact behind smart urban planning.

Whether you're an urbanist, a commuter, or just someone curious about the future of cities, this episode offers a thoughtful take on building more connected, liveable communities, one block at a time.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Devil Dodger, Rev Jim continues his deep dive into the realities of New South Wales’ prison system. Following on from his previous discussion with Jo and Rhys from Jailing Truths Exposed, this conversation brings in a professional legal perspective with special guest Aadil Ahmed, Principal Solicitor at Injury Care Compensation Lawyers.

Together, they explore the hidden truths of incarceration, where justice, rehabilitation, and human rights often clash with systemic failures. Aadil sheds light on the kinds of cases he handles, including assaults in custody, systemic neglect, and institutional abuse, while explaining the rigorous legal hurdles required before a case can even be heard.

The discussion moves beyond courtroom procedure, revealing the lived reality inside correctional centres:

• Assaults and Extortion: Daily violence, intimidation, and “stand-over” tactics inmates face from both peers and, at times, corrective staff.
• Drugs and Contraband: How prisons intended for rehabilitation often fuel addiction and criminal “upskilling.”
• Lock-Ins and Mental Health: Extended confinement, cancelled medical appointments, and the devastating psychological toll.
• Remand Realities: Innocent individuals forced to wait months, sometimes years, in prison without conviction, with no recourse when acquitted.

Rev Jim and Aadil also question the effectiveness of current government responses, pointing to reports like the Astill Inquiry, and argue the urgent need for a Royal Commission into Corrective Services.

This episode is as confronting as it is necessary—asking society whether we are truly rehabilitating people or creating deeper cycles of vulnerability and reoffending.
