This week probably won’t need too many edits or <Mr Black>s needing to be added by Steele when he’s editing and post producing this episode.
At the beginning there was some relatively insightful discussion of ‘where did everyone go to school’ and which other famous people went to their school. Steele didn’t answer however.
Merrick Watts observed the Athenaeum Theatre space that the podcast was being recorded in resembled a beer hall / Nazi party meeting meeting. I thought when he began he was going to make a Hogwarts comparison, but no. Nazis.
That led to a rather interesting discussion of the World War II and how Australia was to have been divvied up had the Germans one. Supposedly they’d have grabbed Tasmania for themselves while Japan took the lion’s share of our country.
This conversation dovetailed into World War I chats and Watts’ appearance on the Book Club on the ABC. Broadcast on Sunday, I think I missed it as I was driving home from the city.
There was some interesting insights into Swan’s time on “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”, including some truly fascinating information about farts.
Steele also managed to get through several letters about the guests and some letters from this week.
All up it was a great fun, interesting, insightful, honest and funny show and a great end to the MICF run of live podcast recordings.
