Kate’s joined by the wonderful Brooke Boney, entertainment reporter for the TODAY show in Australia. Brooke is a Gamilaroi woman, a proud auntie, and a devoted pug fan. She began her career as a political journalist and now she gets up so early in the morning to be on breakfast telly. She had two perfect pugs, called Reuben and Jimmy. May they both be eating as much cheese as they like, forevermore.
