This is the first in what I hope to be a semi-regular occurrence here at the Amplify Fitness blog. The handful of regular readers will hopefully enjoy hearing someone else’s voice every now and then, and this time you will actually be hearing a voice. Fittingly, the first guest post is coming from my Mum, Dr Julie-Anne Toohey.

Mum was recently invited to record a podcast for the University of Adelaide and I’m very proud to share it all with you. I’m biased but I think it’s a really fantastic episode and I encourage you to listen to it. Here’s the preview from the site:

This week, host Professor Andy Lowe chats with Dr Julie-Anne Toohey from the School of Social Sciences, School of Arts, Business, Law and Economics at Adelaide University. Join us, as we rethink reoffence and challenge the jailhouse rules of our current justice system.”
