The Post-Trump World
President-elect Joe Biden gives his first press conference and the world (well, outside America) breathes a collective sigh of relief.
Eliza remembers the time before Trump when Rudy Guiliani and Mike Pompeo were respected public figures.
Geraldine is shifting her focus from America to the UK, where conservative advisor Dominic Cummings has been banished from Downing Street.
Also this week, Eliza shares her gripes about podcast conventions. Australia prepares for the public release of the war crimes report. The new season of The Crown has landed but neither Eliza nor Geraldine has watched (yet).
And the 2020 social media phenomenon - Olive & Mabel - are published in time for Christmas.
