November 15, 2024 Ethics Washing and Corporate (cancel) Culture
Jo and Dave talk to lawyer and author Josh Bornstein about his book Working for the Brand, an analysis of how corporations force staff to uphold their “values” and “integrity” or face being sacked on one hand while they gleefully destroy the world on the other. And how much are we loving Blue Sky?

October 18, 2024 Project Gaslight

September 13, 2024 No Care, No Responsibility
On the day we learned that no-one would be punished or be otherwise held accountable for the Robodebt catastrophe, Jo is joined by Anthony Klan, Founder and Editor of The Klaxon, to discuss the Klaxon’s ongoing series into the National Anti-Corruption Commission: its mishandling of the Royal Commission’s referrals, its counter-intuitive lack of transparency and the “recusal” that wasn’t.

August 26, 2024 Breaking Worse

August 15, 2024 Paltering, Poison and Profit
As Dave’s European sojourn continues, Jo chats to Royce Kurmelovs about his excellent new book, Slick: Australia’s Toxic Relationship with Big Oil, an entertaining and enraging look at how the extractive industries plotted to keep mining and polluting even as they knew of their disastrous consequences. A fascinating and forensic account of Big Oil’s successful strategy to run down the clock that continues to this day.

August 09, 2024 Heed History’s Warning
