G'day Fearmongers,

Big thanks to Ampel and Myrtle & Pine Studio for lending us their podcast studio to record this week's A Rational Fear in person.

We have in the studio Grace Tame, and Punter's Politics, as well as Lewis Hobba and me (Dan Ilic).

This week we discuss the Murdoch family's legal battles, the controversy surrounding the Australian remake of The Office, and environmental concerns related to the Betaloo Basin.

And hereโ€™s a quick plug โ€”ย Grace Tame is touring around the country this month in conversation with various people including me in Sydney and Melbourne โ€” sheโ€™s also going to Canberra and Brisbane. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Get tickets here.

Thanks always for listening to A Rational Fear โ€” if you can chip into the Patreon, or a the very least leave a review on Apple Podcasts and weโ€™ll read them out on air.

Cheers,

Dan Ilic
