SHOW NOTES

This week we discuss life inside the Melbourne Lockdown bubble as mask wearing becomes compulsory in public for Melbournian’s this Wednesday. But why are some people so resistant to mask wearing and why are columnists like Andrew Bolt seemingly determined to make mask wearing a political issue?

We also talk about the future of the Australian magazine market after Bauer announced it will close 8 Australian mastheads including Harpers Bazzar, Elle, In Style and Men’s Health. And we reminisce about our favourite magazines of the past including Cleo and Dolly.

Caro gives us an update on the AFL and raises concerns about reports club doctors were told it was compulsory for Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander players to receive a pneumococcal vaccination upon arrival at the QLD hub.

In BSF – Corrie’s been enjoying Kate Grenville’s A Room Made of Leaves (available HERE). We discuss films that just haven’t stood the test of time like Carnal Knowledge and Indecent Proposal. Plus Caro shares a wonderful Karen Martini recipe Glazed Pork with Black Vinegar & Wood Ear Fungus (you’ll find the recipe HERE).

Caro’s ‘Crush of the Week’ is journalist Chris Wallace for his remarkable interview with Donald Trump recently.

And in 6 Quick Questions we chat about Beatrice York’s wedding, our changing views on a republic after the release of the Palace letters, Slob-Chic Style and our favourite winter fruit.
