    Episode 59 - God Bless Ye Merry Godboyz

    Happy holidays, Bleakers. This time around we're talking about Victorian Labor and the big rural rail project (but not really) and then about our past experiences of religious faith or lack thereof (or is there a difference!? Yeah.)

    Episode 57 - The Absolute Goy

    Hey listeners, heard you like megasodes. What's that? Two and a half hours is too long for a podcast episode? Well, on the one hand, you're right. And on the other, here we are.   We got carried away with our first in-person record but there was a lot to talk about: The upcoming US election, the downgoing QLD state election, a li'l Musk Update for ya, and then two meaty and really quite depressing topics: Australian police and state over-reach, with a particular focus on the destruction of Djab Wurrung birthing trees, and the EHRC report into antisemitism in the UK Labour Party plus subsequent suspension of old Jez. There's also some directionless waffle at the end about what's next for the left, questions of scale, focus, etc.

    Episode 56 - The New Levelers

    oi oi Bleakers.   More bad audio this time. Bought the wrong batteries. We're talkin' supreme court, we're talkin' Kent border, we're mainly talking the New Libs, the Diggers (not those ones) and the Levellers. Levelers? Levelers.   orright. Take it easy, have a good one.

    Episode 55 - Darcy Davis

    Hey bleakers. The Zoom is running out of battery, I can't find the power supply and there are no fresh 9 volts in the house so you're dealing with the warpy shit audio from Kieran again. We've got a langurous look at the mental workings of the enemy today. First up, the wonderbrains of the mostly-lib writers over at Unherd - where genius goes to jerk itself off. And then after that, Darcy's adventures in the world of Talking to Racists Online. Peace, friends.

    Episode 54 - High IQ Boys

    Yo bleakers, another tardy episode to chew on. This time around we're talking private high schools, Elric Degandre, the Sargon/Warhams nexus, and lifestyles of the rich and the famous! (building obnoxious temples to dizzying excess while drawing from the privatised care sector like a total parasite)   Take it easy, friends.

    Episode 53 - Statues are Slytherin

    Long time, bleakers. We're back and we're talkin' bout statues and the Zoomer v Millennial Generation War.

    Episode 52 - Hell's Pells

    Another wonky audio episode this time, hopefully less wonky than last time and I think we're getting closer to something that doesn't sound like pure garbage. We talk briefly about Dan Andrews' council reforms and the US Democrat primaries, but our main meat this episode is a double dose of injustice: the George Pell High Court decision, and the report into the handling of anti-semitism allegations in the UK Labour Party.   Closing song is a cover of 'Paradise', originally by John Prine.
