Stilgherrian is joined by Snarky Platypus, who’s recently returned to the socials after a two-year break, for a long conversation about everything from food to conspiracy theories to stupid names for Sydney suburbs. Quite a lot about food, actually.
In this episode we talk about Singapore’s famous Merlion, airline food and other airline opinions, Sydney nightlife, dodgy Australian rice recipes from 1966, “Blacktown: The Gathering”, bürek, the 15-minute city conspiracy, Coldplay, AI, and women’s basketball.
