Oh, forgot to say, they listen because they want to hear about the footy, traffic and weather. But mostly the footy.

About the hegemony stuff, I could really do with a gig that payed for a house deposit, if not for me then maybe my kids. Bloody Albo!

Tomorrow and play soul, funk, rap, hardcore house and whatever you like interspersed with brief explainers about intersectionality. This thread is way too long and would really piss off my former bosses because they hated anything going long. If any of them are reading this, I was just kidding

Media and donating part of that income to causes you agree with. Wil has always been a great bloke to me and I think if you met him you’d be surprised about what he believes and who he supports. That said, you don’t have to like him and puns aren’t for everyone. Hope you get to the site early
