The Final Word election special
Added 2022-05-27 03:10:06 +0000 UTCSeason 12, Ep 8: Always mix sport and politics, we say, so of course we had to start today's show with a tangent on Australia's federal election. What else? An interview with journo Tim Wigmore and economist Stefan Szymanski about their new collaborative book Crickonomics. Plus the cricket as Sri Lanka tour Bangladesh and the county championship reaches its season break. Did anyone get 1000 runs before the end of May?

Cast back to last weekend, and what a show this turned out to be. The Lion King returns, as does The Nanny, a fair bit of karaoke, Morticia Addams, some of the nerdiest areas that TFW listeners have ever led us to, and the Bowen Big Mango heist. Plus the wildest coincidence in the history of this show. Tune in.
