Mastermind of Politics

Nick Schadegg is a mate of the show who somehow manages to make politics both interesting and slightly dangerous for the group chat. With a sharp mind for the big ideas shaping the world and a healthy distrust of nonsense, Nick has a talent for explaining complex political issues in a way that makes you laugh, think, and occasionally question your life choices. Around the Oldmate & Josh table he’s the unofficial “politics department” — the guy who can break down policy one minute and immediately pivot to ripping into the boys the next. Thoughtful, quick-witted, and always good for a spicy take, Nick is proof that politics doesn’t have to be boring… it just has to survive the chirp.
