We survived the media onslaught fine but the real world effects linger. In Episode #479 of Musings, Juan and I discuss: the fear & craziness of the recent Cyclone Alfred here in Brisbane, whether it lived up to it's fearsome reputation (it didn't), the panic buying & actual impact on his property, why hyper local media might be the future, why legacy media has to induce excitement/worry but won't actually show the things we're scared of and how we intend to consume information going forward. Huge shoutout to Queen Mother for the boost & our other sat streamers. Your support is greatly appreciated!
