Make it part of your routine.

Surely you're getting up and maybe driving to see a friend or maybe you're getting up and going for a hot girl walk.

Chuck it on.

Listen.

It's always a really nice way to start the weekend briefing.

And also we feature our listeners as part of the weekend briefing in our weekend list where we recommend what to see, watch, eat, do and listen to.

And we start every week with a listener recommendation.

So if you have one and you're listening, send it through to us at The Briefing Podcast on Instagram.

Send it as a voice note.

We'll play it on the pod.

Now it's time for an update on Australia's blood supply from Lifeblood.

Blood supplies are at concerning levels this week.

O negative is very low while O positive, A positive and A negative are all at low levels.

Lifeblood is calling on new and returning donors to book an appointment this week.

Every 18 seconds, someone in Australia relies on a blood donation and your donation means it's there for them when they need it most.

Search blood supply or visit lifeblood.com.au to book your donation.

We've all seen the posts.

Everybody is running.

Run clubs are the new dating apps and people say they're under more pressure to run marathons than they were to drink and do drugs as a teen.

So what is this new running drug that all of your friends seem to be taking?
