They talk about “Puss” Holt, the general mean-ness of the Australian political class; the misogyny at the heart of conspiracy theories; The Butter Wars and international trade policy; modern documentary culture; Australian history’s terminal dullness; defamation and the chilling of critical culture. It’s a huge and important yarn; all-time Battler areas.\nBefore that, the r*de mechanicals talk Starmxit, the Race Around the World; Shakespeare (gay); and the HUGE REVEAL of the CHARLIE PICKERING BB KING.\nNote: Watteau was not really a landscape painter, but certainly bordered on genre!\nThanks as always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for production.\nSong as always is “No Strain” by The Southend Rainbows.\nSubscribe to Straying for the Morsel and The Yeah Nah Review.\nThis is a public episode.
