Ep23: The Slap

This week it’s just Pat and Tim, the way God intended. Unencumbered by guests, they rage about the resposne of the government to the protest on Sydney Hamas Bridge; the rising tide of Naarm Nazism; the cowardice of Bendigo Writers’ Festival adopting a stifling definition of antisemitism in their code of conduct; and Christos Tsiolkas’ delightful article on the benefits of fencesitting. It’s a quick one; when Pat gets back to Boorloo we’ll be back in the Castro saddle and giving five-hour diatribes. Thanks as always to Dan Dare: producer, friend and defamation prophylactic.
