Technically this episode isn't part of the Late Winter Series, because there's no special guest and it wasn't scheduled, but here it is. It's the Full Moon, and I'm in a mood.

We talk about dodgy energy-healing services, a little bit about Afghanistan, a little bit about climate, about people's responses to the COVID-19 response, and more.

The Late Winter Series 2021 of the Edict continues as Planet Earth continues to burn. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is calling it a "code red for humanity". We dig into that with Ketan Joshi. He's a communications consultant working with NGOs in Europe, and also a freelance writer covering climate and energy.

We talk about how the policies and actions of the Australian government are lagging well behind public opinion, how quickly we could change our energy technology if we really tried, and what we should tackle over the next decade.

The Late Winter Series 2021 of the Edict continues with technology journalist and disinformation analyst Ariel Bogle from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's International Cyber Policy Centre.

We talk about many things, including Dan Andrew's supposedly fake back injury, COVID-19 disinformation, cold showers, far-right political video activists, imaginary bullfighting, content moderation, YouTube banning Sky News Australia, and of course the cybers and the lack of reporting thereof.

This is my fourth outing as guest co-host of Well May We Say, the Australian progressive politics podcast from Jeremy Sear-Pirko in Melbourne. This episode is titled "Anti-Vicsers" because... well I assume you've been following the COVID-19 news.

We also solve Australia's housing affordability crisis with some of Jeremy's modest proposals, and wonder whether there's actually a point to any of this political discussion.

Well May We Say is available at:
http://wellmaywesay.com
and in the various podcast apps.

We also deliver some excellent ideas for political advertising.
