*** NOTE: This episode was recorded in November 2017, shortly after What Happened was released. We've put out this episode to coincide with Hillary's visit to Australia in May. In this episode, Anna and Maiy are joined by their friend, writer and commentator Simon Copland to discuss Hillary Clinton's telling of the 2016 US Presidential Election, titled 'What Happened.' While not in its own separate segment, we do end up discussing some of the problems of centre-left politics more broadly; Anna drops the c-bomb when talking about Tony Blair, Maiy confesses to loathing Julia Gillard, and we *all* have things to say about Bernie Sanders. Don't @ us, bro.
