In the short few weeks since the election of the Albanese Labor government, Australia feels.... different.

Changing governments always has an impact on the tone of the times, but with the recent election, it feels somehow more pronounced.

Journalist and friend of the pod, Lech Blaine, has written a brilliant essay in the latest edition of The Monthly magazine from the eye of the election campaign trail.

He explores the true essence of contemporary Australian attitudes to politics, economics and democracy.

And there's no doubt Australians have undergone a major shift in attitudes towards, workers, jobs, wages, climate and what "the fair go" should look like in the 21st Century.

Lech joins Francis and Sally on this week's pod.

The way we work, how work is changing, how it used to be and what it might look like in the future.

It’s about who we work with, and who we work for.

It’s a discussion about the conditions in which we work and the demands of a job.

It’s talking about how it can be the best thing in our lives and also the worst.

Work can give us meaning and satisfaction, it can be the most challenging thing we’ve ever done and the most soul destroying days of our lives.

And that can all be in the same week!

Above all, we want to talk about work in a way that helps make work better for everyone
who listens.
