S1E1 - Who The Bloody Hell Are We? With John Safran
Filmmaker, author and provocateur John Safran embarks on an idiosyncratic quest to discover the role that Jews have played in modern Australia's story. It's a journey that takes him from a shoplifting single mum on the First Fleet to the remote part of the Outback that almost became Israel. Revelling in the parts of the Australian story that have been whitewashed or combed out, John discovers that Australia's acceptance of Jews often comes with terms and conditions attached.

S1E2 - Who The Bloody Hell Are We? With Cal Wilson
Kiwis are one of the largest migrant groups in Australia, but how do we view them? As proper migrants or as visiting family who've outstayed their welcome? Comedian Cal Wilson is on a mission to find out how Kiwis like her fit into Australia's national story. It's a quest that takes Cal from the Maori seafarers who formed one of Sydney's first expat communities to the no-nonsense Kiwi engineer who accidentally created multicultural Australia.

Deftly sidestepping nearly 200 years of racial stereotyping, Adam embarks on a journey to find out how people of Chinese descent fit into Australia's story. It's a quest that takes him from the Chinese tradie who created the bank that became Westpac to the Chinese Australian roo-shooter who became an Anzac legend.
