Welcome to "The Wrong End of the Table" podcast, with Leah Panapa, Dean Morris and Andrew Clay. Why is it called the Wrong End of the Table? Well, our producer, magic Mike, realised he's sitting at the wrong end of the table from the food and drink, and he pointed out, "why am I sat at the wrong end of the table", because that's where he has to be! and the name was born! We chat, we talk about some of the big stories, and the smaller stories and we have a good time. We hope you enjoy it!
