the death of hydration, jehovah’s witness and neighbourly love (feat. Aurelia St Clair)

This episode dives headfirst into the absurdity of right now—tech fails, overpriced produce, and Australia’s quiet luxury obsession (spoiler: it’s just capitalism with better PR).

I'm talking to my friend Aurelia Sinclair (@aureliadotcom) a comedian, podcaster, and writer based in Narm (Melbourne). Co-host of Pop Gay.
