Maddy, Ryan, Max, Nicole, and Liam discuss learnings from the mud, or the volunteer-led Greens response to the recent floods in Brisbane: the failure of the state, how and why to pivot an electoral movement to mutual aid, and the oaf-himbo dialectic.

Jo is joined by Declan and Matt to preview Australian politics in 2022 and to herald the final year of the Vatican's dastardly epoch.

We're back from our hiatus (McKinsey-sponsored trips to Iraq and Afghanistan) and ready to talk the Year that Was. We cover: the elite world of Boards, sweeties playing games, the cringe sub tote bags, and more. Plus a bonus shoutout to everyone's favourite strong female landlord.

It's a Novel Coronavirus Episode! Declan, Matt, and Jo have all the right opinions on lockdown and none of the wrong ones. Plus, Matt gives us exclusive intel on his new Patreon for Being A Good Boy.

Matthew and Declan are joined by Dave (@withsobersenses) from Living the Dream and Isaac (@isaacwilliams) from Not Good Enough for what felt like the first of a few conversations about tabletop gaming.

Both Dave and Isaac have games they have made that you would be a fool not to check out and get behind. Look at them at fatraingames.com/ and mausritter.com/

Jo, Matt, and Declan talk with the hottest new historian on the block - Cam Coventry, author of the recent paper ‘The “Eloquence” of Robert J. Hawke: United States informer, 1973–79’. Cam explains how diplomatic cables show that Hawke acted as a vital asset in helping preserve US interests in Australia, the role of the US in shaping key policy reforms like the Accord, and what this research tells us about foreign interference in Australian politics today
