Keeping up with the daily news cycle can be hard, especially if you have little ones who need your constant attention, so we’ve created a new show to get you and your family up to speed, weekly.

In around 15 minutes, you and your little ones will all be up to speed on what’s happening in the world, including a sports wrap, perfect for your commute to Saturday sport.

In this episode, we will be talking to a travel expert about where the best places are to go these school holidays, and all the hacks to help make sure your trip smooth sailing. Then we look at where the stereotype of the 'crazy cat lady' comes from and why cats actually rock! And finally we head to the basketball court to find out how GOAT Lauren Jackson is making a comeback just in time to join the Opals for the World Cup.
