BOTW: Thick red lines; radio rivalries; journo pomposity; and streaming’s state of play
Welcome to Best of the Week written on Friday following four days stuck on the couch at beautiful Sisters Beach, Tasmania.
After four years of being unable to make the line appear, no matter how hard I tried, it was a weird sort of relief to finally see a positive result. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’d started to worry I was doing my Covid tests wrong. Despite all the eye watering, had I not been jamming those swabs far enough up my nostrils? Turns out, until this week, I’d merely been lucky.
What was a new experience to me will be familiar to just about everybody else. After croaking my way through Monday’s Start the Week, I finally triggered a nice thick line and joined the club.
It was then an odd three or four days of operating at what felt like half power. I stayed online, in what was a big week for industry data and developments. Yet each time I sat at my desk to write something, I couldn’t quite maintain a train of thought.
