  • New format needs to go

    The new format of smaller interviews which are then repeated in the longer version needs to go. You can’t listen back to back with out having to skip over the shorter episodes. Really tricky if you’re listening whilst run/riding.

Hantavirus explained, sleeping rough + Blue Eyed Kayla Jade
Q: And some of the situations you find yourself in can be pretty unusual, to say the least. Why did you think it was important to write this book?

Was it really a budget for young people? With Cheek Media + Punter's Politics
Q: Can you explain the rationale behind grandfathering existing negative gearing while tightening rules for new investors?
Panelists explain it's a political and fiscal compromise intended to transition away from broad investor benefits over time, while arguing that the changes will eventually rebalance the housing market in favor of first-home buyers.
What now for IS fighters' families + quitting the Libs for 'Something Better'
