This is a rerun of a conversation my dear friend Liam and I had with Australian comedian, TV host, and activist Tom Ballard (March 2019). We spoke about the weird mix of trying to be conscious of your participation in a neoliberal model but also relying on it for support. We also spoke about the importance of taking risks and being transparent with your politics on the platforms you have access to (podcasts, writing, TV ect.) Enjoying Aleks Listens?
