Annie Nelson joins us for her weekly dose of sunshine, chaos and questionable tangents. Fresh from officially handing back the Soroptimist International of Gore Woman of the Year crown, Annie reflects on her year, shares some advice for newly-crowned winner Linda Harvey, and somehow the conversation ends up exploring those awkward public moments we'd all rather forget. As always, expect plenty of laughs and Annie's trademark English charm.

The Locker Room Lads are back around the table with Cameron, Hewi, Q and Nathan. This week Nathan shared a positive experience with our local healthcare system and gave credit where credit's due before the conversation took a sharp turn towards the state of local roads, roadworks and getting around the district. Plenty of laughs, plenty of opinions and the usual mix of Southland yarns along the way.
