On this week's edition of BHF Talks, Bilal Ali sits down with The Age's State Political Reporter, Sumeyya Ilanbey.

You may have heard Sumeyya's voice asking questions in Premier Dan Andrews' daily press conferences - on this episode, she describes the challenges of reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic, plus much more, including how she got to her current position.

Please note that BHF Talks will move to fortnightly installments after this week's episode, so there won't be an episode released next week.
