What a weird comparison. Why say 18.5x more likely for a cup to be killed by a black person than unarmed black man killed by a cop. The definition of Apples Vs Oranges. Compare like for like.
Do yourselves a great favor and skip to 28:45. This is when S. Hicks starts talking. First 15 minutes of the show is introductory talk. Then follows 15 minutes of John Quiggin doing Australian accent and that, my friends, is not something most of you can comprehend. Also, the microphone echo is absolutely horrible during that period. So yeah, Hicks is great. The other fellow, - I honestly can't tell...
Very interesting. Thanks. Some simple sound editing would be useful, especially because this is a podcast..
wish the audio wasnt this awful. super interesting, thanks!
