Jess Harrold is joined by injury-hit editor Sam McClary for the latest weekly round-up podcast.
McClary shares Birmingham City Council chief executive Deborah Cadman's excitement for the Commonwealth Games, and how they are already helping transform the city for a golden future.
She also hails the strong field vying for this year's EG Awards, as the finalists are named.
In addition, Harrold addresses the Court of Appeal's decision on a pair of high-profile pandemic rent cases, the state of play of the government's arbitration scheme for resolving disputes over Covid arrears, and where it all leaves any landlords and tenants yet to come to agreement.
But how will McClary fare as she is put to the test in the quiz of the week?
