They're the MVPs of our time – Uber drivers kept us fed during lockdowns and COVID outbreaks, even when we didn't know if a vaccine was possible. The job comes with huge safety risks (particularly for those on bikes) and instability. But it's looking like they're going to get a minimum wage and, oh, idk, like some basic job security. But does it mean the price of your Uber order is about to go up? And, we sometimes think volunteering is for Boomers and retirees with heaps of time on their hands, but we speak with three young people who found a way to fit it in, and say it's had a massive positive impact on them. Plus, save the bees! There's a deadly virus on the loose and they've gone into lockdown (sounds familiar) but will they be okay? Live guests: Michael Kaine, Transport Workers Union Mark Pearce, Volunteers Australia Cormac Farrell, beekeeper at Australian Parliament House
