the death of hydration, jehovah's witness and neighbourly love (feat. Aurelia St Clair)

Phones that can’t make calls. Apps that don’t work. Food that somehow rots faster than it should. Why does everything feel like it's not quite right?

This episode dives headfirst into the absurdity of right now—tech fails, overpriced produce, and Australia’s quiet luxury obsession (spoiler: it’s just capitalism with better PR).

We're unpacking why “convenience” is really just chaos, why nothing feels built to last, and how we’re all trying to hold it together in a world that’s falling apart. Plus, I’m talking about community (or the lack of it), the hidden costs of progress, and why it’s time to stop waiting for systems to change and just fix what’s right in front of us.

I'm talking to my friend Aurelia Sinclair (@aureliadotcom) a comedian, podcaster, and writer based in Narm (Melbourne). Co-host of Pop Gay.
