Mumbrellacast the Second is here. Take a listen if you a) like Vice’s bizarre documentaries, b) have been wondering how Australia’s publishers are doing post-Facebook algorithm change, or c) often find yourself worrying about Australia’s gender stereotyping problem.

Plus, we discuss David Warner’s sordid ball tampering childhood, and Tim does some very quick maths.
