Episode Details

This week, the Georges Batt**l*ers talk to Becki Whitton, or Aphir, the musician and producer behind the Wettest 100. We talk about the gaps in broadcast and the Aussie market for experimental or “left-field” music; the forms of support that artists provide for each other when old structures collapse; e-girl aesthetics and twitch streaming; and the way that an initiative like the W100 tries to bring attention to overlooked musicians.

Before that, the M*jahideen talk about the exciting new joint business venture/pyramid scheme that is WHARF RAT: Pat’s small press. You can donate to the Kickstarter here. They also talk about the Omar musa gong at the Miles Franklin; Sussan Ley’s Zen and the Art of Liberal Leadership for the AFR; CUCKUS; “Greenlip”-sandgroper supercessionism; Judge Mark Holden and more.

Thanks as always to “Dictator” Dan Dare for Production.

Song is No Strain by the Southend Rainbows.
