The Week Ahead

On Monday I’m finishing a story for ZDNet, then at 3pm I’m recording the next episode of The 9pm Edict podcast with author John Birmingham, who of course has been on the pod thrice before in July 2018September 2020, and November 2020.

The 9pm Edict is supported by the generosity of its listeners. You can subscribe for special benefits or throw a few coins into the tip jar. Please consider.

On Thursday night it’s another episode of The 8pm Quiz, with the livestream kicking off at 8pm AEST.
