In this week's episode, Joe offers us insights into Zack Polanski's burgeoning campaign for a seat at the parliamentary table.

In the context of the gut-wrenching death of Jason Arday, your hosts ask what struggle and contestation looks like when information is organised within an increasingly powerful, and malign, attention economy.
