Summary

Shaun Micallef is one of the great ones and this week he's having a moment. A new novel, a new documentary and a lot of thoughts about why the world is the way it is. He talks to Myf about life after Mad as Hell, whether satire actually does anything useful, and how he ended up writing a Dracula origin story that is really about corporations, immortality and narcissistic world leaders. Guest: Shaun Micallef (Mad As Hell, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation) Catch Shaun Micallef at the Melbourne Writers Festival from 7th-10th of May.
