Episode 8 - Not My-instein

Oh no! Einstein was a racist! We discuss the implications of the revelation that a German man in the 20s held racist opinions and the dangers of sacralising heroes, but it turns into a narcissistic contemplation of the ramifications of our own inevitable fame. Also, a little primer and debunk of the arse-backwards theory behind trickle-down economics. And in headlines: We got a political witch hunt, only the witch is a monster, and real, and worth hunting, and Peter Dutton. We got the ABC privatisation vote cockup from the Liberal party peak council. We got more microparty farce courtesy of Clive Palmer and his gormless candidates. And we got Elon Musk throwing his workers into a thresher for the sake of promises he fails to deliver on.
