Thorn in Your Side

m* interviews Carlo, and as two ardent Western Sydney Wanderers fans and lefties both irresistibly find themselves making connections between what Wanderers fans experience with what is encountered within the Black Lives Matter movement and in social housing communities.

m* and Carlo also chat about life and times in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trigger warning for indigenous listeners - mentioned within this episode are names of the deceased and graphic content involving deceased peoples.

And here's what Carlo mainly gets up to these days as a performer - https://theunaustralian.net/. 

m* meets up with John, both old uni-mates. Of course, conversation turns to reminiscing about the undergrad days, what has happened to universities since this time, and the future for unis and work. Such discussion also mindful of this brave new COVID-19 riddled world.

John has promised to come back regularly for future episodes, so get used to him!

m* interviews Peter, a retired worker now living in regional NSW. Peter formerly lived on the Macquarie Fields public housing estate.

What ensues was discussion over the 2005 Mac Fields riots event and the current drama involving the lockdown of the Flemington towers. Both find there is far more in common with both events than first thought. 

And the podcast needs a name :)
