This week, we are chatting about the big YIKES that is the British monarchy and all it represents, upholds and reflects of our society generally. We are not at all shocked, but want to take this moment as lesson for wider issues

This week we are talking about the normalisation of crisis. We chat about how easy it can be too see crisis conditions as being normal and the importance of not getting comfortable with the world as it is now. We discuss government failures, grassroots organising for change and how we can stay sensitive in this world.
