Our Take: Spilling Logies tea, the Lindsay Clancy trial & Sach’s big news

Heyo, welcome back to The Briefing: Our Take, our weekend hang-out where we loosen our ties and kick off our shoes to take you behind the scenes of the week that was, and what you (and we) made of it.

This weekend Chris and Sach sit down for a heavier debrief than usual: the Lindsay Clancy trial, the case of the Massachusetts mother whose insanity defence has turned an unthinkable tragedy into a wider reckoning about postpartum psychosis.

From there the mood lifts as they crack open the inbox – to get your reactions on arming guards in hospitals, Logies tea, and one listener’s oddly specific request for Dan's voice that we may or may not be honouring in the near future.

Then, LiSTNR sport and Triple M producer, Curtis Figon joins us for The Weekend Quiz to see if he can answer:

The government was accused of making a dog's breakfast of some big reforms this week. What were those reforms?

Who won the Gold Logie on Sunday?

AI deepfakes of one person have scammed Australians out of $7.4 million in the past year. Who is that person?

Jacqui Lambie made an emotional plea to the Prime Minister in the Senate this week - what was she asking for?

Ten YouTubers were added to the National Sound Archive this week. Name one of them.

Then we cap it all of with The Weekend List:
