We have a squisten (squizz + listen?) to the full gamut of Aussie pop rock, with the new albums from Violent Soho and 5 Seconds of Summer, who we're sure would hate being lumped together.

Everything has been postponed, cancelled and ruined, so we go back to the last glimmer of light in our otherwise mundane isolation lives; the Triple J Hottest 100 of the Decade to look back on what life was like outside.

Welcome to 2020, where we're mixing it up with small, more frequent pods! In this week's news, we go through everything important we've missed since the start of the year

The boys sit down to chat about the final year of the decade and what they thought was the best, worst, and cheekiest bits of music. Cue the gladiatorial music.Edit: While yes we now know where the Uvula is, you've gotta respect the speed.

If you're one of those numbers nerds who insist on that "the '01 year is the true beginning of the decade", this one isn't for you. Sam, Dan and Max chat through the biggest, best, worst and most controversial hits of the decade, all through the lens of their experiences. Add in plenty of snack reports, fabric analysis and a few low-key guest spots, and you have yourself a winner.

Max is back in the Southern Hemisphere, so he and Sam sit down to chat about some new tracks they've both been enjoying while they were apart. Bonus: Good luck trying to figure out the Good Things set times as they assemble their schedule live on air.Popular Monster - Falling in ReverseTake Out the Trash - Nancie SchipperBorrowed Time - Jake ClarkeFuneral - MiguelJunkie$ - Ocean GroveQuick Words, Long Troubles - Timi TempleBONUS: On Your Mouth - The Marion CranesFollow along with our Minipod playlists:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/73DJaJfjbLtYoezKShReX8Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/au/playlist/the-78-amped-minipod/pl.u-oZylld9FPjdp7r

While Max partied hard in Japan and Dan ventured down rockstar pathways, Sam was lucky enough to chat to the very talented Tory Robertson (Harbours, Passerby). On this episode we spoke about all things mental health, stigmatism around men’s health and adjusting to change. We also touched on the Sandtunes cancellation and what that means for music and whether or not triple j fans are legit or not.
