  • Political lobbying

    Fact. They strategised with the Labor Party during the election campaign. That really bothered me and just feels so manipulative now.

  • The Last Video Store …

    Guys I was really enjoying this podcast even though, it was reminder that a new album was out by one of our best (ABC Conversations, similar). Then came the blooper - the title of the film that Poitier starred in and directed was TOTALLY wrong!!

    This made a mockery of the whole pod.
