Puzzled Monkey
A podcast that explores the obscurely relevant. Join Gusto as he (painfully) dissects pressing, as well as banal, issues within the spheres of culture, politics and the environment. Expect to encounter bizarre historical events that illustrate how far we haven't come, and how ideas have a propensity to recycle themselves. With any luck, you damn dirty apes will leave each episode more puzzled than you were beforehand.
