Australians woke up on Saturday morning to the news that the US Supreme Court had voted to overturn the constitutional right for American women to access abortion. Amelia Lester is an Australian journalist living in Washington D.C, she joins us to help unpack what’s happening on the ground over in the U.S.

Plus, a few weeks ago, we had a vibrator dilemma that broke the Internet. Now, there’s another one…

And we’ve got our Jessie back at last. So, what DID she do on her holidays, how much do cocktails cost after inflation? And what does she want you to know about what it's really like traveling in a post-Covid world?
