The Punch is about to become a TV show. The marketing people want us to tell you about it, but frankly we’re kind of nervous because we’re all unkempt and untrained print people who think a live feed is something involving a crayfish in Chinatown.
Anyway - Punch TV debuts on Sky News at 12.30pm AEST today (Thursday). Our special guest is Sports Minister and occasional Punch contributor Kate Ellis, and our panel for this week is Punch deputy editor Tory Maguire, Punch sports columnist Luke McIlveen, and myself.
In keeping with the conversational spirit of the website, we’re asking readers to tell us what they’d like us to discuss on the show. We’ll obviously be talking to Kate about her piece below about yobbo sports stars, as well as her recent post on whether successful athletes should repay the AIS for the cost of their training, but any other ideas, please email us below.
