Hello and welcome to Shouldn'ta Come, a podcast deep diving into Australian politics and social life and why all this nonsense is why a bunch of us shouldn't have come here.
Congratulations! You are an Australian and you have hitched your wagon to a powerful or influential person overseas!
We've got a fun one for you over the next couple of weeks, looking at Australians who have found themselves in odd situations, married to foreign aristocracy and such. We look at exiled Russians, Tech Moguls and whatever it is Elle MacPherson's been up to.

The Tragedy of David Hughes (Part 2)
Hi again everybody! What are your thoughts on the expression of the soul? The latent homosexuality of the idealised Australian man? The moments of realisation that turn a story on its head?
We finish, this week, our unexpected little two-part series on Dave "Hughesy" Hughes, Australia's comedian attempting to rebrand as a serious ambassador of money. We mainly, however, talk about the traditional theoretical components of tragedy and see what we think about them.

The Tragedy of David Hughes (Part 1)
Hi again everybody! This week we are stooping to cover entertainment news; as everybody, we are confused and astounded by the recent political turn of erstwhile Australian Hughesy, and it felt like a good time to knock out one of these more fun episodes. We take a look at the big fellas biography and then start to talk about tragic tropes, but then we go on too long so you can look forward to more Hughesy next week!
