Mark Latham has a podcast and everything is awful

Starting off 2016 with a chronic dose of 'OH FFS!'

Former Labor leader Mark Latham has a new podcast, because apparently someone thought that was a good idea.

The Lathamland (we'll stick with Disneyland, thanks) show debuted overnight as a new segment on Triple M.

Unsurprisingly, the show is packed with some pretty heinous stuff.

From attacking Australian Of The Year and domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty, to using words like 'Negro' and 'Muzzies', Latham has quickly come under fire online.
The Triple M website sites the first episode as covering "political correctness, men being ‘broadly’ victimised, why we shouldn’t raise the GST to 15%, ABC is a closed 'Club', boat people policy" and a review of Spielberg's latest Bridge Of Spies, just to balance it out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Latham was exposed last year as the man behind a Twitter account that went after Australian women of note such as Annabel Crabb, Tara Moss, Leigh Sales, Mia Freedman and Lisa Wilkinson.

He resigned from his position as a columnist for the Australian Finanical Review, but continued to be a walking headline thanks to his comments on Nine's panel discussion show The Verdict.
