Deep Fought

Another break, but this one more excusable, because Nick was in Australia again for the first time in 16ish months. Better yet, he was in Melbourne, which means this is an in-person podcast. The bad news is, the audio is all over the place because we've lost the skills to make good recordings in the same room. But hopefully our charm and charisma will paper over those flaws. This episode's mistakes include: Aforementioned echoes and glitches. What, did you think we'd talk about something other than ourselves? Okay, we do talk about Elon Musk for a bit. #hottake Egregious factual inaccuracies.

Hello, dear friend. Such a long time has passed since last we spoke, and yet so little has changed. I love how easily you and I slip back into these easy rhythms together. It's something special.

You smell that sweet something in the air? That's the aroma of freshly baked podcast, just out of the oven.

Welcome to our dozens of new, parsnip-loving listeners. This episode talks a lot about everyone's favourite hip new veggie, the 'snip (parsnip).

My, you step away from the world for a month and look what happens. Nick is back from making a TV show, and Michael is back in Melbourne lockdown again.

Roll up, roll up, for the show of the century! It's a loosey-goosey chat today about everything from the return of lockdown in Melbourne, to the debut of Hamilton on Disney+, to a discussion of body temperature. There's also a bit of an update on 'Good Grief', Nick's streaming series that will soon start filming, making this the last pod you will have for about a month. This episode's mistakes include: Michael buying himself a boom arm. The odd sniffle from a recovering Nick. Maybe it was unfair to lump the boom arm in as a mistake, it could be quite good?

Hello and welcome to another juicy discussion on the state of the world, as we dive into the controversy around the destruction of statues. Is this revisionist history, or something more noble?

Well met, young travellers. I hope times are treating you well and that this morsel of discussion may sate your appetite.
