Bulletin 21/03/19 - Betoota Weekly News Bulletin

Cults were big in the 80s… Some people thought they may have thinned out after the invention of the internet. This is not the case. This week, the editors interview the award winning journalist and author Tim Elliott about his new true crime podcast: Inside The Tribe. This series investigates a very peculiar cult that that exists just south of Sydney, the Twelve Tribes. Tim and his co-writer Camille Bianchi follow two members, Mark and Rose through their 15-year ordeal with the highly religious and exploitative group - and documented their final escape. https://omny.fm/shows/inside-the-tribe/playlists/podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pride Of Queanbeyan returns to The Betoota Advocate Podcast this week to discuss the rise of Australian Hip Hop over the last three years. It's been roughly that long since we last spoke to him and Hauie has pivoted from artist to pioneer. From OneFour to Sampa The Great, to The Kid Laroi, he was there in the studio before anyone knew their names. Hau has this week published his memoir, titled KING, which is the Tongan translation of his own name - and also a metaphor for his selfless contributions to hip hop in this country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
