Roaming

And I'm Geraldine Doogue.

Let's go roaming.

[upbeat music]

Well, hello there, Geraldine.

Yeah.

Jeremy, thank you very much.

Our email address is global.roaming@abc.net.au.

Thanks to producer Aston Brown, supervising producer Pat Sutherland, executive producer Laura McAuliffe.

You complain.

You're on Rome and blah, blah, blah.

I don't have any of those problems.

You're on

Rome and I'm moaning.

Listen to me.

You always seem to do the top up process when we're in the car.

Thrill with lissome lust of the light, O man, my man, Come careering out of the night of Pan, Lopan, Lopan, Lopan.

Come over the sea from Sicily and from Arcady, Roaming as Bacchus with fauns and pards, And nymphs and satyrs for thy guards, On a milk-white ass come over the sea, To me, to me.

Come with Apollo in bridal dress, shepherdess and pythoness.

Come with Artemis, silken shod, and wash thy white thigh, beautiful God, in the moon of the woods on the marble mount, the dimpled dawn of the amber fount.

And I'm Geraldine Doogue.

Let's go roaming.

[upbeat music] Well, today, Hamish, we have two guests joining us, which is a bit of a break from our usual pattern.

Melissa Chan, a Chinese American journalist who, I think, as you say, you worked with years ago on Al Jazeera.

Uh, which is something that I don't think Australia, uh, public is aware enough.

That is also why I think our graphic novel, You Must Take Part in Revolution, uh, could fill the gap to some extent to showing the, uh, terrible outcome if the, uh, China's authoritarian regime is keep expanding in the region and globally.

Badiucao, Melissa Chan, thank you for roaming so widely with us, including even talking about Winnie-the-Pooh.

Bye-bye.

It's Hamish Shead.

Let's go roaming.

[upbeat music] So Waleed, if the Democrats are gonna do their own version of MAGA, what do the hats say? What color are they? What's the branding you've got in mind? [laughs]

It's very hard because the insurgent organization, if you like, is called the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America.

That's, that's probably the first acid test of all this.

You might have a view on this.

Let us know what it is, global.roaming@abc.net.au is the email address.

Thanks to our producer Aston Brown on this episode, supervising producer Pat Sunderland, and our executive producer Laura McAuliffe.
