Episode Details

This week, the c*bbers talk to Will Cox, critic and author of Hyacinth, a gothic retelling of various episodes of Keeping Up Appearances. They chat about the nature of old media and nostalgia, serialisation, experimentation in modern fiction, translation and appropriation, formal fragmentation and other absolutely renegade stuff.

Before that, the boys talk online anti-reading trends, more circumcisions, the hues of One Nation foreheads, mining corruption and greenwashing, the various ways they both encouraged bullies as teenagers, Pitchfork Jet Review Reichstag Fire, Tealification, Auctioneer gang wars in Sydney post-budget, tax concession anger and downwards envy.

Thanks as always to “dictator” Dan Dare for production.

Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows, who have just started recording their next album ;).
