52:35 – Anyone will tell you it’s a prison island, hidden in the summer for a million years. Happy Australia Day with this discussion of what should be the anthem, Captain Cook, our native peoples, where we all live, cliché Australian tourism advertising, Outback Steakhouse, and humbling flights over the desert. Topped off with a Midnight Citizen-inspired discussion on rapidly fading music and book retail (Coconuts, Borders, Angus & Robertson, Tower Records, HMV in Singapore, the magical late 1990s), and the darn space all those books and DVDs take up. Released late because work has been tough, hope it was worth it!

01:00:36 – Car park music, mixing 80s synths with jazz, Spandau Ballet, working at what you love, obsessively researching, KVMs, The Paradox of Choice, shipping to Australia sucks, the Ideapad 100s, Sonnet IDE cards for ancient PowerMac G3s, overcast days, sunburn, going to the Sepang GP in Malaysia, only having enthusiasm for motorsport, hiking, Adelaide, power board boxes, OfficeWorks, cable boxes, shredders, early 1990s childhood TV nostalgia (TMNT, Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, Superted), purchasing and returning an evil monitor stand, and why British power plugs are superior, damn it!
