Is Albanese the repairman Labor needs?

Geraldine and Eliza are mulling over this question after reading Nick Bryant's great article called "The Repairman" in the Monthly magazine.

Bryant charts Albanese's political life and the discipline he's displayed in the role of opposition leader. But will it be enough? And is there a risk that he plays it so 'safe' that the electorate doesn't know what he stands for?

Also this week ... war looms in Ukraine ... and Geraldine considers the repercussions for Europe. 

And important movements in the podcasting world.
