About this episode

Keeping up with the daily news cycle can be hard, especially if you have little ones who need your constant attention, so we’ve created a new show to get you and your family up to speed, weekly.

In around 15 minutes, you and your little ones will all be up to speed on what’s happening in the world, including a sports wrap, perfect for your commute to Saturday sport.

In this episode, we find out some tips for how everyone in your home can help to reduce the cost of the next power bill. Then we speak to an expert to find out why COVID-19 is starting to spread again. And finally we speak to two amazing para-soccer players who have represented Australia to find out how they got so good!
