As the impacts of Covid continue to come to light, experts are asking the question: should we have closed Australian schools during the pandemic, given what we now know? We discuss.

Plus, we cannot escape the ‘personal brand’ despite what industry we’re in. So, are we all just turning into sellouts, having to shamelessly promote ourselves to make it in business?

And, our best and worst of the week, which include, a frustrating date hour, the search for the perfect lunch and someone worried they might be exploiting their mother-in-law.
