With good humour and lots of north-south banter, Yorkshire lass Nat Richards and Londoner David Baker dissect the latest British news from Royals to the English Premier League. Expect lots of discussion around the Royals, soccer (ahem… football), British stores heading Down Under and discussion around when we’ll be able to visit the rellies again. Perfect for homesick Brits in Oz looking for a taste of everything they miss from “home”. About the hosts: David Baker is an Assistant Editor at The West Australian newspaper. As the office’s resident whinging Pom you can expect him to argue with absolutely everything Natalie says and be miserable while doing it.He is cynical about the Royal family … but no more so than he is about absolutely everything else.He can though, occasionally, be a laugh. Nat Richards is the editor of PerthNow news and entertainment website. Her Yorkshire accent has made regular appearances on The West Live as well as several commercial radio stations, where she unbelievably manages to get by without a translator.As the office’s resident Royal watcher she’s in a permanent state of outrage over Meghan and Harry and enjoys nothing more than letting everyone know about it –especially David.
