EP94: Reverse Kanga’s and Upper Deckers with Daz Bea

2-Bit Idiots

If you don’t know what they are, whatever you do, don’t look it up or listen to this podcast.

There is no one that can segue from high voltage power transmission to upper decker’s and back quite like Daz Bea. Yes, what’s happening in our world right now is damn serious, but we all need to find the fun in it too and that’s why we keep asking Daz onto the pod.

He brings a wealth of knowledge around electricity, net zero targets, issues and opportunities in Australia and beyond, is a founding member of Looking Glass Education, is a proud family man and Queenslander, sings at the weekend and writes books in his ‘spare’ time. I’m tired just reading that!

This time we discuss:

• State of Origin

• LIV Golf

• Family priorities

• Twitter v Nostr (particularly Primal)

• Protocols v Platforms

• Nostr documentary

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA-jiiepOrE

• SWER network and outback Australia
