1/200 S2E82 - The Longest Game in Town
Another week with too many big events - we cover a bunch of them with as much depth as we can cram into an hour and a half. We discuss Israeli atrocities in the Nuseirat Massacre, the mid-week EU elections, the politics of NZ infrastructure, and the destitute state of NZ media when it attempts reportage on China.

1/200 S2E80 - Right-wing Drift
We discuss the train wreck of UK politics and how it’s indicative of right-wing reactionary drift in western democracies. The US is playing the same game as it continues supporting a genocide and implementing Trump-era policy under a Democratic president. And things aren’t much better here in Aotearoa, either.
