Hello,

Well it happened. With the Queen dead there's a lot to discuss about the power and the drama of the institution she embodied. Also NZ's covid mitigations are no more - are we saved, done for, or a secret third thing? And we watch the Clinton gal's foray into entertainment "Gutsy"! 

Apologies to Simon Mayo

The Mars Volta - Black Condolences

Jim Parker - House of Cards theme

Carly Rae Jepsen - Talking to Yourself

Cardi B - WAP (feat. Megan Thee Stalion)

There was a great dirty joke Dan made which I managed to kill accidentally in the edit where he said that last song is a kind of a mask. If you're a legend who reads podcast descriptions to the end then I guess this is your gift.

Howdy?

After much consideration we deliver our conclusion on the upcoming local body elections; no. The Fire and the Fury documentary is compelling and skilfully made and almost has as good a website as us, but is it the complete picture it claims to be?

Plus: Farewell, Boris? 20 years with Songs for the Deaf. The death of Mikhail Gorbachev. Gastro.

Bumper music;

All Them Witches - Tiger Pit

Danger Mouse & Black Thought - Strangers (feat. A$AP Rocky & Run the Jewells)

Wet Leg - Oh No

Queens of the Stone Age - First It Giveth
