We have a bloody website and we want YOU to give us money! You can get all kinds of great merch (paid), paid subscriptions (paid), access to a discord server (paid) and all kinds of other great stuff (paid). Get over there and become part of the movement that critics are calling “GetUp! for the Putrid Dog Left.”

We also have an actual episode to follow, where we talk commo literature, the low level of cultural attainments among the Aussie Left, French Rev aesthetics, Autistic Tumblr Robespierre girls, which Asian City State is your Aussie City?, Amerikkkan antisemitism envoys, Queensland’s Crackerjack Fascism and the doughie revolution, the Jimnygeoisie, Nick Cave sophistry, Triffids v Go Betweens, Alan Jones diddling while Rome burns, strike novels across the world, kids books TALKING DOWN TO KIDS, “Bluey” the CFMEU heavy, Shaun Tan ideology critique, Pat’s NOLA mugging, New York (sorry).

Caveat: Regina Featherstone’s work on NDAs in sexual assault cases is about civil suits, not criminal proceedings.

Also we forgot to mention that friend of the pod Max Easton is launching his new book Now, Autonomy, at the Gaelic Club in Sydney this Saturday the 8th, with a bunch of great bands.

Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.

Thanks to “Dictator” Dan Dare for production as always.
