Rowan returns to the fold this week, still without a home but at least with an 'adequate' AirBnB. Get a degree they said. Do a masters they said. Get a white-collar job they say. It'll all work out they said... Rowan's slow-motion crushing beneath the iron wheel of capitalism sets us up quite well for Part 4 of our on-going series 'A Brief History of Neoliberalism', which is now becoming not-so brief. Last week he explored how Thatcher and Reagan spearheaded Neoliberalism in the West over the course of the 80s. This week he looks at how the political left embraced neoliberalism, through the Third Way politics of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. This leads us up to perhaps the defining calamity of our generation, the 2008 financial crisis... but that's for the fifth and final part, next week!

Our friend Helen Edworthy joins us to discuss why Millennials and Generation Z are watching the Friends, recently released on Netflix, and noticing how far society's moved on from the latent misogyny and homophobia of the era. We also note how similar series since, like HOMYM, have a more cynical outlook. ___ Like what you hear? Support us by... Following on Soundcloud!
