The winter series of The 9pm Edict continues with another very special guest, satirist Mark Humphries. We met up on Bastille Day. We retreated to an upstairs bar. This delightfully rambling conversation was the result.
We spoke about bigotry, beef tallow, the honesty and integrity of Clive Palmer, giant African land snails and brain worms, Elon Musk versus Donald Trump, Bruce Ruxton, Gerry Harvey, Baz Luhrmann, Cameron Daddo, and much more.
