Named after one of Australia's most progressive Prime Ministers, The Whitlams are a band Thomas had definitely heard, but never fully paid attention to. Sarah was the same until she was invited to see them live about five years ago. In this episode, we talk about how Tim Freedman manages to be celebrated yet still underrated, the insidiousness of gambling in our culture, and run into our old nemesis, Powderfinger.
