Hi and welcome, this is Cory…

Much loved Australian music and DVD retailer, Sanity has decided to shut up shop by April this year, but only their physical stores. The brand will continue as an online only business.

I’ve been to Sanity before, but I was never that attached because when I was buying CD’s, that was back in the day of Brashs and then later JB Hi-Fi. Brashs no longer exists and I no longer buy songs on CD.

But many have been sharing their thoughts on social media about Sanity’s decision.

If there’s two things we know in this life, it’s death and taxes. At the moment we can add another, high prices at the supermarket and that’s just what I’m talking about in this episode.

My grandmother is 98 years old. She’s in a really good Aged Care Facility for the past three months and when I visited her recently, she had a turn.

Poker Machines, or ‘Pokies’ are also on the agenda in the up coming New South Wales state election.
