    Bye For Now

    This ep is just an update to share that sadly, Comedian v Economist won’t be returning, at least not in 2024. We would love to do more, but right now family, work and other commitments have just left not enough time to deliver the quality CvE product you know and love.
    We are forever grateful for the engagement and support you’ve shown us over 150 wonderful episodes. We’ve been humbled by the emails and feedback we received and have really loved bringing you the show each week.
    It’s been an amazing journey and we hope to find a way back to making more Comedian v Economist in 2025.

    Will the ATMs run dry this Xmas?

    Will the ATMs run dry this Xmas?

    Inflation seems to be dropping just in time for Xmas, but Black Friday sales are a scam. Speaking of scams, be careful who you sign your next rental lease with, while Armaguard reckon there’s no money in trucks filled with money.
    And Thomas’ poetry journey is live: www.libraryof.love

    Why can’t Adam get a good price for his Aaron speakers on Gumtree?

    Mortgage delinquencies are rising… should the RBA be worried yet? The Barbie boom is over and Mattel’s share price is back where it started. AI made a submission to parliament and hallucinated badly, while turns out getting angry makes you more productive.
