Catch-22: reasons to do comedy, communist monopoly and all sorts of flagellation with Mikey Robins

On this weeks episode of Book(ish) I sit down with former host of Good News Week, author, radio host and comedian Mikey Robins to discuss Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Our conversation ranges over Mikey's reasons to do standup comedy, being the kind of teenager who buys communist boardgames, and flagellation stretching from Thomas More to Australian public schools. Enjoy!
