What’s the future of EVs in Australia, Why is Telstra developing an AFL-watching tablet? Vertical Hold Ep 396

Update: Unfortunately there’s an issue with this week’s episode — we’re blaming the technical gremlins. If you’re listening through most major podcast platforms it should run around 54 minutes; if you’ve been served an 8 minute version we do apologise, but it should hopefully feed through the correct version to you directly. The player below may show 8 minutes but should play the full 54 minute show. If not, this link should take you to the 54 minute Pocketcasts version for iOS or Android respectively.
