Co-hosted by Donald Betts Jr and Diana Elliott, Greenland is a show about America and Australia - what makes us similar and what makes us different. We chat about current affairs in the US with special guests to understand 'same same but different' culture, politics and life in Australia and the US.
On the frontline of COVID in the US with guest Dr Regan DeHart
This week, America passed the grisly milestone of 300,000 dead from COVID-19. With the first vaccines being televised as being given to VP Mike Pence and others, only 50% of Americans and just 25% of African American males are committed to getting the jab. Dr DeHart gives us some insights into why so many Americans - particularly minorities - are against getting the vaccine, and the grim truth of trying to protect her community from a rampaging virus.

Su voto es su voz! With guest Madam Secretary Delia Garcia (Your Vote is Your Voice)
We are delighted to welcome Madam Secretary and former Secretary of Labor in Kansas, Delia Garcia to Greenland. She joins us from Texas on the eve of the US Presidential Election, where people are queuing for up to 11 hours to vote in an election that is already breaking records for voter participation.
The Latino vote is shaping up to be a critical factor for both parties and we get the lowdown on why that is, and what the equivalent to Australia's Election Day 'democracy sausage' is on the ground in San Antonia and beyond!

Republican bullet points! With guest Judge Phillip Journey from the NRA
Donald and Diana are joined by special guest, Judge Phillip Journey, a Republican running for re-election for the Division 1 judge of the Kansas Eighteenth Judicial District. Phil is also a board member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), which boasts 5 million members and is arguably the most potent activist organisation in the US.
In this episode, we chat to Phil about:
- the process for judicial appointments in the US and his views on the federal Supreme Court nomination process
- why Americans won't lay down their guns as Australians did after the Port Arthur massacre
- what needs to be prioritised in the wake of the 2020 Presidential Election, no matter who wins.
We're incredibly grateful to have Phil share his candid insights with us on Greenland (and some tips for buddying sports gun enthusiasts).
