Breaker podcast: private clubs, the joy of pettiness, politics and family.

Welcome to the first Breaker podcast. We are Lachlan Cartwright and Ravi Somaiya, formerly of… everywhere. If you're receiving this either you had the wisdom to subscribe, or our paths have crossed during our combined 40 years of reporting. If this email has been forwarded to you can subscribe here and send your questions, tips, and complaints here.

This week we come to you from outside Fanelli Cafe in Soho (iPhone feels-like temperature: minus eight) to talk about private members’ clubs, the absolute joy of human pettiness, the ways politics have riven families, great names for Australian spear fishermen, AI fears as a form of religion and much more. Get in touch with any hatred, love, criticism, praise or (best of all) tips and questions. We’re just our first names at breakermedia.com. Also thank you! We know you have busy lives and we’re grateful for any time you choose to spend with us.
