This week, Jess Lilley is solo in the studio with both Najma and Charlie hard at work covering the federal election. Charlie hops on the line direct from WA to give some insight into his own election coverage for Crikey and how he's managing to keep his sanity in check.

Plus, Journalist and IndigenousX creator and development manager, Rachael Hocking joins Jess for a yarn about IndigenousX’s new traineeship program, ‘Our Truth Our Way’, a development for a more diverse media presence, along with some insight on election coverage from a Blak media perspective.
