“solutionising the corporate world”

At last, a comedy about late-stage capitalism!

The brains behind two of Australia’s most popular satirical websites are joining forces for an all-new show that looks at the inner workings of a system that has brought us massive global inequality, super-charged climate collapse, and most annoyingly of all, corporate mission statements.  

Delivered as a 60-minute diploma that you can add to your LinkedIn profile later, Anti-Experts James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) and Charles Firth (from The Chaser) will teach you the secret inner workings of the corporate world, Gina Rinehart’s tips for inheriting massive wealth and how to monitise your hobbies so you can afford fresh vegetables.

Other compulsory units include:

  • How to save for a house by cutting back on take-away coffees, taking public transport and getting a $500k gift from your parents

  • Buzzwords: How to eliminate clear communication from your conversation style

  • Case study: How to charge $25 million for installing a flag on a bridge
