#198: Las Vegas, Jenkins Review, Dopesick

The Adele hits keep coming with her announcement of a Vegas residency in 2022 WHAAAAAAAT? C U THERE. If Omicron doesn’t screw things up.

In the final week of Parliament sitting, Kate Jenkins’ report into workplace culture at Parliament House has been released, and it’s even more shocking than some imagined.

Comedian and writer Nina Oyama has written a brutally honest account of comedy and misogyny and self belief, and we’re watching a brilliant doco on the late David Gulpilil, and a compelling new series on America’s opioid crisis ‘Dopesick’.
