Betoota Talks

He’s had a multi-decade career at the steepest heights of the entertainment industry, with  top rating radio, TV and streaming shows as well as a successful New York pub, but there’s still one thing Hamish Blake has never done: A proper day’s work. His new show Unskilled Adult seeks to change that, as he enlists a crew of comedians, podcasters, and media careerists to learn the jobs of everyday Aussies.   From building planter boxes, catering weddings, welding a trailer and drywalling a salami shed, they take on tasks with the overconfidence you’d expect from a bunch of soft-handed simpletons who don’t even know the meaning of hard yakka. Hamish joins Clancy and Errol to chat through the struggles and triumphs of his new showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Australia's most decorated living authors, Anna Funder, joins Betoota Talks to discuss about how the current state of global politics and economics feels kind of familiar. A keen student of pre-war Europe and an on-the-ground observer of Easter Berlin after the wall came down, Funder talks about modern wealth inequality like we might be in denial about how tough things really are. Why is trust in our democratic institutions so low? Why do the Tech Bros have a seemingly free rein? But she's always the optimist!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
