🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE
Episode 138 – Take that as a comment
This week, Andy and Roger respond to a listener question about kids, gaming, and screen addiction, only to spiral into an analysis of modern parenting. With the help of Roger’s Nintendo Switch and Andy’s apparent disdain for it, they reflect on generational shifts in authority, teenage rebellion, and how video games have become the new backyard footy. Roger shares his concerns about overstimulation and digital dependency, while Andy defends the social and creative value of online gaming—complete with comparisons to GoldenEye marathons and Fortnite smack talk.
Then, they turn their attention to the death of Q+A and The Project. Was anyone actually still watching? Why did they matter, and what does their demise say about political discourse in Australia? To find out, Andy and Roger channel their inner politicians for a mock Q+A segment—with Andy delivering an alarmingly convincing Anthony Albanese impression and Roger getting his lesbian vibes on. They wrap up with a mused lament on media fragmentation and ponder whether AI could replace politicians (spoiler: not yet, but probably soon).
