Episode Notes

Join us in part 4 of our series on Dr. Chris Hyatt. The final one. Last 2 sections of the interview we’ve been analysing.

This was a little bit of a rant sesh where we spoke about the disconnect between doing and speaking or thinking through the frame of political activism, and all sorts of completely insane topics.

All music during breaks was kindly provided by Allogenes. He can be found on twitter
