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.
