- MAFS Amanda Catalano.
Excellent interview by Chris. Amanda Catalano should be paid by Channel Nine as her recap parodies are the best and most interesting thing about the show! I’ve given up on the episodes. I think Amanda should also ask her Mum Maria to give her recap every now and then if she watches it too!

Distills the important aspects of the news and the deep dives are always interesting. The presenters are professional, respectful, use humour well and make everything easy to understand.

I woke up to hear Matt Okine on the Weekend briefing. Only then did I realised how fascinating, relatable and smile triggering he is to me. 6 minutes in I paused the podcast, checked my roster, and booked in his “10 Hope Street” performance in Perth. No I am not being paid for this statement.
