The Canberra Playbook Podcast
by POLITICO
POLITICO’s early morning guide to what’s driving Australian politics — and why it matters. The Canberra Playbook Podcast is hosted by Amanda Copp. Each 15-minute episode Monday, Wednesday and Friday, brings listeners two conversations: a political interview that goes beyond the soundbites, and a conversation with a journalist from POLITICO's global newsroom. Together, we’ll take you behind the scenes of Australia’s power shifts and how these moves connect Australia to the U.S., Europe and the world. Clear, conversational and grounded in reporting, the Canberra Playbook Podcast brings you the people and context behind the day’s biggest stories.
