Hey!
A new era of Covid mitigations and the social ripples inherent within. Dave has travelled, Dan has partied - what is the new world like?
Fast food and militant Irish republicanism once found common cause in McDonalds. Dan with the deep dive.
And in proper politics, Fair Pay Agreements may be the Ardernocracy's largest non-covid legacy. Luxon's National Party stand in opposition, to this, that, themselves and everything. But are consistent arguments really lacking if they don't matter?

Unruly, uncoordinated, lasting longer than anyone expected or wanted; it's us back with another episode.
The copy-cat protest occupation at Parliament is at once a harbinger of menace, pitifully sad, and a mirror to the city. No solutions, just urghhhhrgh.

Hi, here's a lazy one to a happy new year.
We discuss Don't Look Up, a film that has become a totemic piece of media over the festive season. Media consumption as psuedopolitics reaches new heights with the director's commentary tweet. How much is forgivable in art with a message?
Our predictions for 2022 ahead, and what we talk about when we talk about inflation.
Plus sealions! Jarred farts!
