Ep74. Calendar Days ft. Mitch L. Ryan
This week the Y*ppie D*gs are talking to Mitch L. Ryan, musician, author, record seller and author of a new book on Dick Diver’s Calendar Days, the seminal album.
They chat dolewave, post-Howard political culture, the death of the music industry and the flowering of criticism in the 2010s blogosphere. Beforehand, the l*ds talk about the NRL Grand Final, Shoebridge’s worker Jihad, white Isis, brother Chun’s Nation of Islam, Bogan haram and other important stuff.

Ep.73 | DIY OR DOA w. Max Easton
This week the D*sgraced S*nators talk to their first repeat-guest, the perennial Max Easton.
Max brought out his new novel, Now, Autonomy, a couple of months ago, and he’s on to chat the Sydney scenes (DIY, Music, Literature, Politics); writing the present; literature as questions rather than answers; and looking abroad for hope. As always, it’s a an absolute circle pit (good) of a chat.
Before that, the p*trid d*gs chat the fallout from the Dockercide, with Pat going Gonzo (crying) on the streets of Freo.
They also talk about other losers, like Bibi at the UN and Albo’s AI (valorization) crusade.
Produced by "Dictator" Dan Dare.
