Australian comedian Sam Simmons was feeling like the rest of Aussies in lockdown....a little bored, lonely and sad. So, he decided to do something about it.

He’s taking calls from random strangers each day – what he calls ‘talksies’, and he’s changing peoples’ lives. Between midday and 1pm AEST each day, he takes calls on 0431 281 879.

On today’s Briefing, what an extroverted introvert does in lockdown.
