This episode we are introducing a new cohost Steph, who you might remember from past episodes such as a Jaunty Stroll Through the History of Transmedicalisation and Happy Coup Year! In just over an hour discuss Universal Childcare, some “interesting” research out of Germany and how it just one small piece of a utopian puzzle. We also talk about the education system, mental health, abortion, even Foucault gets a look in. All of this with our regulation shitting on the LNP, stoker, and a healthy skepticism of how something good can get coopted by neoliberalism.
