We’re joined by Matt Halton to talk about his new Overland essay on the Ramsay Centre, ‘Ramsay, Marx, and the ghosts of the Western canon’. We then give our obligatory Joker takes and transition seamlessly to a discussion of the shorter working week: what kind of shift does it signify and what are the opportunities it presents? And what's the difference between the shorter work week as a left project vs. a tech bro scam? Finally, towards the end of the episode, Maddy introduces us to the phenomenon of Life Expectancy Advocates.
