Turia Pitt is at her most open in this episode, and for someone who is usually very open, that is saying something! It’s been ten years since Turia, while running in an ultra marathon in the Kimberleys, became caught in an out-of-control grassfire. Open for discussion is a life suddenly thrust into the public eye, the beauty of ageing, did she see the light while on the operating table? her reaction to last year's bushfires in the region she lives in, and in her own unique words - "how f**king cold is it?"

In this episode we've decided to go back to basics on what we know, what we don't know, the new normal and our path out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Professor Peter Collignon has no doubt already been on your screens and in your ears in some capacity over the past 18 months. We believe as an infectious disease physician and microbiologist at the Canberra Hospital, as a professor at ANU and as someone with a unique ability to articulate sometimes complex information clearly, he is the ideal person to walk us through the current state of the nation when it comes to this pandemic.  Can the vaccine affect women's fertility? Did researchers rush the development of these vaccines? Does the vaccine contain COVID-19 itself? Will we learn to live with COVID-19? When will the lockdowns end?
