EP 338 - Charles Firth and James Schloeffel otherwise known as Wankernomics are an Australian comedy act famed for their (piss)take on today’s absurdities of workplace culture, capitalism, and the corporate world.

Our unfiltered chat exposes the concealed incompetence behind business jargon and workplace language. We discuss generational and cultural differences in communication, the role of humour in office dynamics, and insights from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

We talk about how to navigate corporate jargon with a comedic edge, the power of humour in dealing with life, and why comedy censorship qualifies for the big bin of bullshit.
