  • Great podcast

    But… I refuse to give any of my time to Angelo Isidorou and JJ McCullough. You can disagree with people and then there’s whatever these two do all over social media. Disappointing.

Lynda Steele / Mario Canseco & Dino Archie / Kylie McMullan

What are the real risks of travelling this summer? (Claire Newell)
Q: Will we see a new normal or just temporary increases in travel costs and taxes?
