The Newsreader
Geraldine gets in a time machine and travels back to her 30-year-old self ... thanks to a new series called "The Newsreader" on the ABC.
In 1986 (the year the TV series is set) Geraldine had just finished up as a newsreader on the ABC. She'd go on to work in commercial radio before a stint reading the news on Channel 10.
Geraldine and Eliza reflect on the TV series and just how far the professional women have come in the decades since.
Also this week, the desperation of Afghanistan.
And Eliza watches a wonderful, joyful movie free of horrible themes! Hooray!
