Thanks to Red Energy for supporting our podcast - voted most satisfied customers 11 years in a row.

This week Caro and Corrie discuss the week that was in lockdown. Are old state rivalries emerging as we contemplate the equity of vaccine distribution?

We talk about the fashion impacts of extended lockdown – in with the ugg boots out with the heels, out with the dresser and in with the elasticised waistbands. Will we ever return to our pre-COVID dress habits?

Ahead of the 2nd week of the AFL finals series we discuss the seeming disbelief Melbourne supporters are displaying and predictions for the round ahead.

Corrie’s Crush of the Week for Red Energy is Sarah Ferguson and the team at 4 Corners who are standing strong in the face of rabid criticism from News Corp over the reporting of the Fox and The Big Lie episodes.
