Earwash

Today's episode is far more educational and edifying than usual, as Douglas shares some interesting words from his notebooks

Today we are joined by omni-critic Horace Perrault, who shares his outsider's view of Australia Day

Country musician Bruce gives us his top answers to some Emergency Questions (courtesy of the book 'Emergency Questions' by Richard Herring), including discussion of how the future will be like South Yarra, extinct Australian megafauna and cryogenics. Crack open a beer when you listen to this and it'll be just like sitting in the pub for a chat with a top bloke (and Douglas too, unfortunately).

In an impromptu al fresco recording at a pub, Douglas muses on the practicalities of paying for things with art

Today is a good day for another dose of oddments from one of Douglas's notebooks.

Champion insect athlete Kevin the Centipede joins us today to answer some Emergency Questions, courtesy of the book 'Emergency Questions' by Richard Herring. Hear Kevin's thoughts on man caves, purple things and conspiracy theories. Particularly on conspiracy theories. At length.

What is Brookism, and how does one go sideways with it? I cannot promise any answers, but I can promise that this episode will make about as much sense as any other episode does.

As is customary as one year ends and another begins, the Earwash regulars have gathered to share how their resolutions for 2025 worked out, and what they resolve for 2026
