    015 - Time To Say Goodbye

    This is the final episode of The Pitch! (Boo, sad face).
    As Zandi heads off to London to be an even more bad-ass journo, the three hosts sit down one last time to talk #BlackLivesMatter, if using robots to kill people is ethical and the most important and life-changing story of the week, Pokemon Go.

    Thank you to all of our listeners, we've had so much fun doing the show and we hope you had just as much fun listening.

    K love you baaaiiiiiiiiii

    This week on The Pitch, we have the amazing Thenji Stemela stepping in to guest host, as we discuss Penny Sparrow facing her day in court, Brock Turner reminding the world yet again that we need to talk about your friendly neighbourhood rapist, and whether or not Peter Thiel is a billionaire genius for taking down Gawker Media or a troubling threat to media freedom.
