Wankernomics 101: Exposing the Bullsh*t Behind Corporate Culture

EP 338 - Charles Firth and James Schloeffel otherwise known as
Wankernomics are an Australian comedy act famed for their
(piss)take on today’s absurdities of workplace culture,
capitalism, and the corporate world.


Our unfiltered chat exposes the concealed incompetence behind
business jargon and workplace language. We discuss generational
and cultural differences in communication, the role of humour in
office dynamics, and insights from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.


We talk about how to navigate corporate jargon with a comedic
edge, the power of humour in dealing with life, and why comedy
censorship qualifies for the big bin of bullshit.
