  • Argh!

    Painful listening here. ‘The Jibberer’ is a really bad interviewer and stumbles over his words and his questions are never questions, more like statements. Very painful to listen to. Maybe go and do some research on interviewing techniques. Less is more dude!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

House prices and affordability, with Eliza Owen
Q: What do we know about affordability writ large?
The median dwelling value to income ratio in Australia has significantly increased, currently sitting just under eight times the median annual income, which shows a deterioration in affordability over recent years.
Murchison River Swags
Q: How hard is it to be an Australian-based manufacturer of a quality product when the cheap imports are always at the door?
They find it challenging since consumers often opt for cheaper imported goods but emphasize that their product quality attracts serious campers who use swags regularly.
Murchison River Swags
Q: How do you go from the trade as it is to starting your own business, and then deciding to specialize in swags?
Initially, they made swags for customers asking them to, which gradually became more prominent than their upholstery work, eventually leading them to focus solely on swags.
The world according to Richard Glover
Q: What are you optimistic about?
Humanity's ability to dig itself out of holes and the potential for continued progress despite current challenges.
The world according to Richard Glover
Q: What trends are you watching related to your past or current jobs or anything at all?
I wonder if the world is becoming more difficult as I age but aim to maintain optimism about ongoing progress.
