G'day voters and welcome to this bonus episode; we are 3 White Guys + Guest, a political podcast for a cynical nation.

At Home Alone Together is a new comedy series on ABC, hosted by Ray Martin, it takes a look at the lighter side of quarantining and government-sanctioned lockdowns. Ostensibly a funny idea, it recently included a (now viral) public service announcement sketch that involved some of Australia's most televised faces telling those watching not to start a podcast in this time of pandemic.

A fairly innocuous bit that's amusing in a broad sense.

For those who don't know, podcasting is just AM radio on the internet, most people listen on their phones.

The original viral tweet was posted two months ago, just as the lockdowns were beginning, and at a time where coronavirus podcasts were kicking off. It was funny and topical, Nicola Coughlan's wry tone befitting the brevity of a platform like Twitter.

This isn't to say that this is an original joke by any stretch, lots of straight guys be making podcasts, exhibit A: yours truly. But the context and framing of the joke is too similar to ignore.

However, this isn't just an issue of joke-stealing comedy writers and/or theft of intellectual property, it's also an issue of who tells the joke.

An Irish millennial actress whose career has just taken off cracking wise about the spare time people may have soon is very different to a stale group of (overwhelmingly) Boomer and Gen X opinion writers and minor celebrities lecturing downward at people who have been forced to stay indoors for upwards of two months.

One of the central issues Australia faces is the cult of celebrity destroying the concept of public leadership, as the status quo benefits those willing to do anything to stay in the limelight.

The nation is as stagnant as the careers of those involved with this clip, and it highlights a much bigger problem everyone wants to ignore: class warfare.

G'day voters and welcome to the show notes for the sixth episode of 2020; we are 3 White Guys + Guest, a political podcast for a cynical nation.

Last week we covered the end of the Sanders 2020 campaign and briefly touched on the sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden, we figured we were done with coverage of the US election for a couple of months at least. And then further developments in the allegations made by Tara Reade came to light, which has forced many in the Democratic Party to respond, but still no word from Biden.

So we decided to dive back in to look at the allegations, the #MeToo movement, the scourge of male politicians from "a different time", the early 90s, and consent; as such our plus guest today is award-winning writer and sex educator, author of The Teen Girl's Guide to Getting Off: Eva Sless.

Today our plus guest is the heat, smoke, dust, and fires that have come to define summer 2019/20.

2020 will be a year for revolutions, our government has been privatised and the people have lost control of the nation.

This isn't just a bushfire or climate crisis, it's a constitutional crisis.
