What are eshays? Where is Sydney home to the world's best chicken burgers? What the hell has been happening in Australia's biggest city since the government introduced lock out laws. This week, The Betoota Advocate talks to one of Sydney's most razor-sharp cultural commentators, Monkeyboy. He's an author, an online oracle, and an unofficial anthropologist for a city of 6 million. Join Betoota Talks as they dig beneath the all-consuming obsession with property, and find out what's really going on in this sprawling megatropolis that was once recognised as a kooky home for gays, gangsters and pub rock.
