We promise we're usually a weekly comedy news round-up show! But Zac's away this week and we hit our patreon goal of 75 patrons, which means we have this extra special Book Report episode for you all! Noon has ready (a significant portion of) the Minister for Government Services and the NDIS, Stuart Robert's book, "In the Footsteps of Jesus". We try to be respectful about everyone's religious beliefs and our intention is absolutely not to make fun of Christianity or the Bible - only Stuart Robert. Next week we're back to our regularly scheduled programing!

This week we have another special guest interview, Lia from Slutwalk Melbourne and the Loud Angry and Not Sorry Podcast! She’s on the show to talk about Slutwalk, where it came from, what its aims are, and what this year’s events will look like given the whole, y’know, global plague. We also have our regular show with hot takes, cooked politicians, a very informative and gentle call-in potluck, some elections, and of course, plenty of crispy memes.

This episode we spoke to Lidia Thorpe, Federal Greens Senator for Victoria. With so much going on this week with the Djab Wurrung Embassy, we wanted to ask Lidia about her experience on the ground when the police cleared the camps and tore down the Directions Tree.
We also got to hear her thoughts about Treaty, Indigenous deaths in custody, and how it is having to talk to Pauline Hanson. This episode is a break from our usual comedy format - we wanted to give listeners an insight on these issues from someone with a unique and important perspective.
