Best of the Week: Why agencies can’t tell clients what they do

Welcome to Unmade, mostly written on Friday at beautiful Sisters Beach, Tasmania.

Happy Darwin Day. Here’s hoping that believers in evolutionary biology don’t suffer any persecution at the hands of Christians while celebrating the great naturalist’s 213th birthday. Maybe we should pass some sort of science freedom law, just in case.

Today’s writing soundtrack: Led Zeppelin IV, via Triple M Classic Rock. Playing it from vinyl (and on somewhat scratched vinyl at that) is a counterintuitive choice for a digital station played via smart speaker, but it works for me. I miss crackles.
