Ryan and Declan teach foreigner Jo about the Mark Latham moment.

Had to happen! Declan and Jo discuss Jo's newly published novel, Between You and Me. (This was Declan's idea.) We talk about generational politics, the struggle of portraying power and political consciousness in fiction, the mortifying ordeal of being perceived as an author, and how to write sex scenes. Major spoilers for the novel ahead.

If you would like to buy a copy of the book, you can do so here: booktopia.kh4ffx.net/q4znVg. Or borrow it from the library. Or don't. Whatever! Thank you and I'm sorry.

The first episode of a new monthly series. Hosts Declan Matthew and Ryan will be reading the three volumes of Capital by Karl Marx. This month we have a preliminary chat about why we are doing this in the first place.

Matt and Jo interview Jules Boykoff, leading expert on the politics of the Olympic Games. We talk about the winners and losers of the Olympics, how hosting the Games is likely to change Brisbane in 2032 and beyond, and the possibilities for resistance and struggle.

Jules' latest book NOlympians: Inside the Fight Against Capitalist Mega-Sports in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Beyond is now available and highly recommended for all your anti-Olympics reading. He is on Twitter @JulesBoykoff

Part 2 of Stuart's interview with Max and Liam

The first episode of a new short series in which Stuart gets to grips with the politics and strategy in the Queensland Greens.

Back from hiatus and feeling more real than ever. Jo, Max and Declan catch up on parliament and reflect on the origin and direction of the movement.

It's time! Max, Liam, Maddy, Ryan, Mel, Eva, and a roving peanut gallery discuss The Griffith Campaign. We debunk some of the Big Lies about Griffith, discuss why political scientists got it all so wrong, and sing the praises of the MILV (Mum I'd Like to Volunteer). Long but worth it.
