The Grand Scheme of Things

Ben and Joe collect perspectives on climate action in Australia because they're unimpressed by stamps, crystals and model trains. It's a podcast about making a podcast, as well. Healthy Choice - this program is packed full of 'ums' and 'likes' that help to support a strong attention span.

The Grand Scheme of Things

38. Geoff Glue

December 19, 2021 • Get/Yourself Studios • Season 1 • Episode 40

We reunite with Geoff Glue, a legendary politics and history teacher from our time at school, for a great chat about the Canberran 'state of play' - which, of course, has a big bearing on the CC issue. With Speers-like professionalism, Geoff helps with dissecting topics such as political 'talent', polling, the impact of media and the leadership style of the PM, all whilst keeping his own leanings a closely guarded secret. Appropriately, this is also one of the few episodes to come with its own bibliography:
