Summary

Today’s the day! The day we introduce you to our very first, very special In Isolation episode. On the show this week, we bring you the delightful Brooke Boney. Brooke is a Gamilaroi woman who grew up in Muswellbrook, NSW, and is currently an entertainment reporter on The Today Show. You’ll likely be familiar with her work before that too, as a journalist on NITV, the ABC, and Triple J. In our interview with Brooke, we cover everything: From what she thought her year was going to look like to how she’s coping in these strange times. As well as that, Brooke also touches on how she really hopes - when the curtain lifts from all the chaos - that she’ll care a little less about what people think of her. Thank you so much to ANZ for making this episode of Shameless possible. Head to their website here to find out more.
