Getting through the pandemic blues - a podcast by triple j

A year and a half on from the beginning of the pandemic, it feels like we’re in a never-ending loop of lockdowns, border closures and long queues for the vaccine, and our mental health has taken a hit.

Plus, if you’re a student on Youth Allowance, you’re not eligible for the weekly disaster payments the PM announced this week to help people in lockdown.

Also, it’s International Non-Binary People’s Day and we talk to young gender-fluid Aussies about coming to terms with their identity.

Live guests:
Sophie Johnston, youth commissioner at the National Youth Commission Australia
Professor Ian Hickie, The University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre
Imogen Brackin, educator and advocate
