Show Notes

In this episode, the Sentinel's editor Peter Hackney and features editor Travis de Jonk explore the top headlines of the week, including the retirement announcement by conservative Christian preacher,  politician and notorious homophobe Reverend Fred Nile; growing pressure on NSW Police from the NSW Coroner Teresa O'Sullivan for a fresh inquiry into the Luna Park Ghost Train fires that killed seven people back in 1979; and how the death of a horse at the Sydney Royal Easter Show has reignited the debate around the use of animals for entertainment.

This week we speak to actor, performer, MC and clown doctor Lou Pollard about her extraordinary work for the Humour Foundation, working in hospitals, hospices and health care facilities lifting the spirits of children and the aged undergoing long term treatment or in the final stages of life.
