Description

On today's show, I've got five stories teed up that all share a letter in common… we'll meet a tortoise looking for his forever home, before travelling to Fiji for a netball carnival. We'll hear the clickitty clacks of typewriters being used by teens, and meet the young Indigenous filmmaker behind Towney Time. After that, it's time for an out-of-this-world Wow of the Week.
