Back at the ranch
After a longer than expected hiatus, we guess we call this episode the launch of Season 3, where Peach & The Colonel find themselves more confounded by the world around them than ever- short of time, patience but never short of prattle- come listen to us rabbit on about the over-correction to the right, the capacity for us to ignore the pandemic and whether or not you need to be an expert or have lived experience to be an effective critic…also, back to the old chestnut- do you take the red pill or the blue pill? It turns out, the Colonel prefers to take both… and see how it plays out. ?

Legacy
Fancy leaving a legacy? How are legacies even created? Maybe you’d prefer to cook a sweet potato or drink a Margherita- well today’s your bloody day! Come join us for a delightful wander through the linguistic confusion of the Escher sentence and other idiomatic stumbling blocks, all while dreaming of a time in the not too distant future when we will be mask-less. The joy of sitting in an audience again and feeling the rising tension of a well crafted plot…sigh. This really is the show about nothing. Enjoy!
Just in case you want to celebrate more food days…

Pandering to Special Interests
Please wear your mask indoors for this episode- make sure it covers your nose and mouth…it ain’t over yet! As the Colonel embarks on life as a father of two, we discuss the blatant politics behind the proposed religious discrimination laws, the continued disorientation of Covid and the importance of saying hello to the barista at a cafe…don’t miss it folks- it’s a short, sharp slap around the face of a chat- generally speaking, are women more interested in people and men in things? Is it that simple, was it ever?
Also the Colonel uses the C word and talks about Joe Rogan- don’t listen if that offends you.

New Year, Same 'ol Virus
Happy New Year lovely listeners! As the Omicron Variant takes hold we wonder about how our politicians have dealt with the flood. We search for optimism and wonder about why everyone is so angry about Novak playing tennis. We return to the influence of money and interest groups on our politics as the Federal election looms. Come and join us as we try to hold onto the things that matter and moan about the endless stuff we can’t control!
