Ep 182: Lech Blaine and the myth of the larrikin

from Betoota Talks · host The Betoota Advocate

Toowoomba author and journalist Lech Blaine returns to The Betoota Advocate podcast this week. This starts out as a chat about Lech’s new memoir “Car Crash” - and ends up being a yarn about how Scott Morrison secretly hates rugby league and has never been pissed. Last time he joined us we were speaking about footy and happy clapping, this time we are talking about the Australian media’s perverted interpretation of the “Larrikin”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
