Oh hello.

As the title suggests, this is my little way of letting you know that I’m wrapping up Like I’m A Six-Year-Old once and for all. I’ve loved doing it – and thanks so much for listening to it and supporting it over the years! Bloody hell! – but I feel like after eight years, hundreds of conversations, a bunch of live shows, a pandemic and a book,  it’s time for me to move on and focus my energies on other things.

If you haven’t already, please do check out my other weekly pod about the Greens and green politics with my friend Emerald Moon, Serious Danger – that’s here to stay, and I’m excited to grow that show as much as possible in the coming years.

The LIASYO back catalogue will remain up and available for the foreseeable future, but I’ll stop cheekily taking people’s money via Patreon effective immediately.

You can always come see me live if you like; I’m in Sydney with show “IT IS I” RIGHT NOW – then I head to Cairns, Toowoomba and Brisbane.

Thanks again, team. I love you all! Endlessly! xx

Ben Abbatangelo is a proud Gunaikurnai and Wotjobaluk man and a social commentator. He’s the former deputy CEO of global non-profit AIME, has appeared regularly on The Project and the ABC and has written for The Guardian and The Saturday Paper.

Based on some of his recent work, I’ve sensed that Ben’s been going through something of a political shift of late, towards somewhere a bit more radical, and I was keen to talk him about it. In this conversation we discuss what that shift has involved, the naivety he’s left behind and what it means for his politics now. Ben also tells me about the legacy of the Northern Territory Intervention, explains the situation in Alice Springs and lays out the questions he’s asking about the upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum and his sympathy for a progressive No vote.

Larissa Baldwin-Roberts is a proud Widjabul Wia-bal woman from the Bundjalung Nations and has been a progressive activist since forever. She’s a co-founder of the First Nations climate pressure group SEED Mob and is the current CEO of GetUp!.

In this conversation I ask Larissa about where her politics come from and how she thinks about political ideology. She outlines how she views GetUp!’s role under a Labor government, her unique perspective on climate politics and how she thinks (/hopes) the Voice referendum debate is going to play out.
