Dan Ilic here with this week’s A Rational Fear podcast polished up for your ears. Lewis and I are joined on the pod by Michelle Brasier (Mad As Hell) Greg Larsen (The Grub Podcast) as well as Dr. Matthew Rimmer from QUT’s law school.We celebrate Climate Case Ireland. They took their government to court in 2017 over their weak greenhouse gas emissions targets and won! If we did that in Australia, we’d be stoned with lumps of coal.We unload on Jim’s Mowing boss, Daniel Penman for offering to pay for his franchisees COVID19 fines, and a whole trailer full of other dodgy things he believes.And we marinate in a Jonathan Swan / Norman Swan love-in. You may have seen clips in your feeds of an Australian journalist interviewing Trump in a way we haven’t seen before — by asking questions. You can see the full 37min interview here. The whole piece is incredibly entertaining, (if you’re a masochist.)THANKS:Big thanks to Jacob Round for editing the Podcast and thank you to Patreon subscribers who help pay for Jacob and hosting.This podcast and newsletter is supported in part by The Bertha Foundation.If you can, donate $20 to the Lebanese Red Cross.See you in your inbox next week with some more terrible news.Dan Ilic
