The news right now is full of doom and gloom. Each week, Ellie and Daisy take a different look at recent events and dive into three lighter stories- one to weird you out, one to make you think, and one to warm your heart. Expect laughs and nonsensical chatter along the way.
Episode 22: Jabs for cabs, wish you were ears, and cat-ching them out
This week, Ellie and Daisy dissect (really, really thoroughly) news stories about the new government incentives to get young people vaccinated, the travels of a missing toy rabbit, and a cat sitter who didn't do their job properly.
