Learn Australian English by listening to this episode of The Goss!

These are conversations with my old man Ian Smissen for you to learn more about Australian culture, news, and current affairs.

In this episode, we talk about a dog who saved a litter of kittens that were dumped on a snowy road - humanity, where is your heart? Also, we talk about whales that migrate from Antartica to Australia, their dangerous journey, and what gets them stranded.

Finally, what do you think is a convict's worst nightmare? It's prison hell so bad that you draw straws on who's to die first.
