Gone By Lunchtime is not dead, it’s just been sleeping. Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee and Ben Thomas reunite in an emotional podcast.

From The Spinoff’s flash new studio, the Gone By Lunchtime posse reacquaint themselves with one another and the surprisingly challenging task of saying things about politics. Toby Manhire from the Spinoff, Annabelle Lee from The Hui and Ben Thomas from Exceltium reveal that Jacinda Ardern had a baby quite recently, and assess the performance of her stand-in, Winston Peters, and his combatant, Simon Bridges. All that, and the season for striking and the most transparent government ever lol, and every single political issue from the last two months.
