@shermozle@aus.social It is quite worrying news! I didn't realise that Macquarie University had cut their funding, so I've updated the 2SER Wikipedia entry accordingly. I did look into subscribing but the subscribe page doesn't have much information.

@okwithmydecay They've updated the subscribe form to point out if the worst happens, you've blown your dough. Subscribe!
