Classic Hiatus repeat episode

After 5 years and 125 episodes News Fighters is going on indefinite hiatus while I work on other projects. But in the meantime I thought I’d re-release some classic episodes to the podcast feed to recap some of our better, least topical moments which hold up to this day. An incredibly huge thank you to everyone who's listened, shared, guested, hosted and written with us, especially regular contributors Stefan Pazur and Bec Melrose, and Dan Ilic at A Rational Fear.
