Everybody has heard the Americans don't have the metric system.  Like a lot of things we've heard, it's not totally true, and to the extent that it is true, there's a story behind it.  

Part one introduces the thoughts behind the metric system from the perspective of someone puzzled that everyone thinks we still use hogsheads and firkins. 

Just like us - you're not all metric either.  And just like you, we're as metric as we need to be.

Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.

El Gibbs describes herself in her Twitter profile as a grumpy optimist and her handle is Blunt Shovels. That may be El's self assessment but I'd add words like fierce, determined and truth-teller. El is a tremendous (and loud!) voice for Australia's disability community and it was wonderful to sit down and yarn about some of the things which are impacting people with disability.  Chatting with El is always eye-opener and a reinforcement of the work we still have to do for better inclusion, acknowledgement and caring in Australia.

Marlee is back with more candid conversations with our Indigenous sisters.  And on Sunday January 26th we're kicking it off with a discussion about what Australia Day means to young Indigenous Australians.

Then each week Marlee will be joined by more inspiring Indigenous women including Shahni Wellington, Celeste Carnegie and Tanya Hosch.

Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss an episode and we'll see you on January 26th.
