In this episode, Gareth and Olly talk about the legacy of Bernie Sanders now that his second run to become President has ended. They also talk about how Joe Biden stacks up against Donald Trump at the moment and speculate who might become Biden's running mate?
Covid-19 continues to dominate both the headlines and the lives of nearly everyone on the planet, with each part of the globe in different stages of their battle with the novel coronavirus. Gareth and Olly look at how the world is handling this fight as well as the fear of being a worker in the US, who has not only lost a job, but also health insurance in a time of pandemic.
And lastly, the biggest Australian news in the past fortnight was the High Court's decision to unanimously acquit Cardinal George Pell of all sex abuse charges. Gareth and Olly dive into the decision and try to make sense of the glaring contradiction - whilst the HCA ruled that there were grounds for reasonable doubt, the victim has also been believed. How can that be?
