  • Inside Bec and Lleyton's Toorak Mansion

    This week Mel is shocked to her core when she discovers a song she loved from back in the day meant something completely different to what she thought.  We go inside Bec and Lleyton's Toorak mansion as we celebrate Rusty's first Master's Cup title. 

    Plus we get into a lather over fonts, pantone colours and all things that were popular in graphic  design from then versus now, when we're joined by our head designer Lynne.

  • The iPod has arrived!

    It's the week of geek! This time 20 years ago there were massive releases in tech and gaming. We had the launch of Windows XP and the first ever iPod. Rockstar changed the game with the release of GTA3 and sent parents and the censors into a spin.
