This week we discuss Melbourne’s Lockdown 5.0, how we approached it compared to previous lockdowns and what helped us get through.

Caro and Anna are in the grips of Olympic fever – we talk about some of the highlights, critique the commentary team and discuss the appalling press conference behaviour of John Coates recently when ‘ordered’ QLD premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to attend the opening ceremony.

In The Cocktail Cabinet for Prince Wine Store Myles Thompson joins us to discuss a couple of his favourite Spanish wines.
