Long Distance Call

Eliza's back! And so is LDC. What a time it's been since the last episode, with the Queen's death and Russian President Vladimir Putin's chilling warning to the West as his war in Ukraine falters. This week Geraldine and Eliza discuss Russia and reflect on the future of the monarchy (and the propsects for the Australian republican campaign). They've both watched 'The Split' TV series. And Eliza mulls over Meg Mason's Sorrow and Bliss. Thanks for listening!
