Today’s guest in the End of Spring Series 2020 is the wonderful Andrew P Street — author, columnist, journalist, voice-person, and renown mink-canceller.
We talk about many things including the relative merits of two opposing rat-based scenarios, a “translucently pale man”, sex parties in Brussels, the wrong kind of war crimes, Australia’s relationship with China, COVID-19, the nature of democracy, cancel culture, Pete Evans, some inevitable racism, why we need someone to blame, and why compliance is violence. No, apparently it is.
