In this episode of The Opposition Podcast, hosts Avi Yemini and Rukshan Fernando dissect the long-overdue collapse of two once-prominent Aussie TV shows — Q+A (ABC) and The Project (Network Ten). Once positioned as forums for national conversation, both programs have suffered a dramatic fall from grace as they alienated everyday Australians with elitist panels, identity politics and divisive social agendas. Now, with ratings in freefall and public trust at rock bottom, the axe has finally fallen.

What killed these legacy media darlings? Why did the mainstream keep defending them for so long? And what does their demise say about the changing media landscape in Australia?
