Tensions Transplanted
Tensions Transplanted – Season 3
This six-part series explores the complex intersections of social cohesion, media influence, extremism, and rising antisemitism in the wake of the events at Bondi and October 7. Featuring a diverse panel of experts, journalists, and community leaders, the podcast delves into the mechanics of cancel culture, the spread of mis- and disinformation, and the structural roots of modern political polarization. Ultimately, the series seeks to answer difficult questions about legal accountability and how society can move forward to repair fractured communities. In Series 3 Rob Kaldor is joined by journalist Isy Oderberg.
