Episode description

Dylan is joined by economist and bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis to unpack his recent book Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism and why we should be concerned about this new economic and political age.

Journalist and author Lech Blaine discusses his Quarterly Essay Bad Cop: Peter Dutton’s Strongman Politics and how Dutton’s political history and identity inform his approach as opposition leader.

Plus, Aaron Curnow looks back over the history of his label Spunk Records - which has put out seminal releases from the likes of Smog/Bill Callahan, Sufjan Stevens, Aldous Harding and many more - and why he's decided to call it a day after 25 years.

And finally, Deborah Di Natale, CEO of The Council to Homeless Persons, discusses the dire state of homelessness in Victoria ahead of anticipated state government funding cuts.
