#132 Alma 14-15: Powercord

A slapstick comedy with an unfunny side of burnt wives.

Patience and guest host Adrian discuss Australian politics, and read Alma 14-15. Recorded 21st March 2026.

Discussions:

Gigi's progress watching the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's so boring, she's not getting very far.

New hate-speech law in Queensland that doesn't seem well thought out.

How gun control in Australia got started after the Port Arthur massacre.

The new gun buy-back scheme initiated by the Federal Government in response to the more recent Bondi massacre.

Highlights from Alma 14-15:

Smitty can't work out which characters in his story should be: burned alive, stoned (but not killed), crushed by a collapsing prison, or slapped on the cheek.

Alma 14:29 contains a weird simile, so unnaturally hammered into place, that the next phrase re-explains it. "as a goat fleeth with her young from two lions". WTF?

Zeezrom suffers a bout of extreme anxiety, yet the townsfolk are astonished when he leaps to his feet.
