Sincerely apologetic about the audio quality from the last episode, Crabb and Sales lock themselves away in a silent office to talk of recent adventures at Parliament House and how great it was to see Helen Garner featured in the New Yorker. Although it is nice and quiet, there is plenty of clanging going on. JD Vance's book is discussed, plus what politicians say they will be reading over summer.
