Buy a sports car or start a podcast. It all could have gone the way of a new hobby, with audio kit languishing in a drawer. Instead, this podcast has become a study and celebration of the tricky craft of public service, and it's a source of pure joy for us.

Reflecting on three years of TWT:

Humble and haphazard beginnings
What’s changed since the Robodebt Royal Commission
Our favourite interviews, scandals, episodes
Lifting the veil on moments of chaos
Our favourite moments with listeners (and do we need an identifier for the TWT listener cohort?)
Learnings on the journey and things we’ve changed our minds on

And that’s a wrap for 2025. Till next year!

This podcast was recorded on Kaurna land, and we recognise Kaurna elders past and present. Always was, always will be.

Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....

While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
