THE SHAKEUP: Prison labour, career minimalism + people are literally saying less??
About this episode
The episode discusses prison labour in Victoria, the trend of career minimalism among young Australians, and the decline in conversational skills.
Prisoners would be put to work fixing Victoria's roads if Labor is re-elected. A good idea, or exploitation? And we unpack why young Australians are turning away from ambition and instead embracing 'career minimalism'. Plus, people are speaking less each year according to a new study. Are we losing the art of conversation? Host Dave Marchese is joined by performer Etcetera Etcetera and podcaster Charli Anderson.
