Crash of Civilisations
In a fiery discussion, the hosts tackle Samuel P. Huntington's theories, arguing their weaknesses and how history complicates the definition of Western civilization. They explore how capitalism erodes pluralism and the independence of institutions, including universities, which face corporatisation challenges. The episode also highlights the tension between capitalism's innovation and the consolidation that stifles creativity. Finally, podcasting is celebrated as a relatively non-corporate space, connecting listeners while navigating commercial pressures.

Where are we? A quick update
Dom drops into the feed with a quick update about where we are (taking school holidays off, as is our practice now), and gets very distracted by all the new Wankernomics gigs that Charles is selling out across the UK, Ireland and NZ, as well as the new shows they're doing in MELBOURNE and SYDNEY this December. There is pretty much no more information in the episode than this, but feel free to listen if you really want to hear Dom trying and failing to contain his sense of cosmic injustice about Charles' massive success.
