Another investigation into one of the major institutions of modernity, this time the office. We talk scandals, hostile objects, film reviews of sorts. Hope you like it.
The gym looks like a factory, smells like a wet chicken and sounds like a techno torture chamber so what could possibly explain the massive popularity of work out regimes, boot camps and aquatic centers in the year 2012?

A hotbed of neo-conservative politics, a hive of insecurities and a place of great ambivalence for both Max and Ainsley, this investigation into one of the great institutions of our time is also an investigation into ourselves.
Fregmento Stokes traces the sinister genealogy of the modern day gym. Terri Silvertree explores a feminist alternative to the gym. Brandon Davis spills his guts about his gym induced insecurities and everyone gets very worked up and sweaty. Feel the burn, baby!
Max and Ainsley talk anecdotes about the radio. We have Sharne Vate talking about sex on the radio, Anja K talking Christian Slater movies. We have Ainsley dedicating love songs on the radio. And we explain what 'the egg and the wall' means.
