Having just worked 11 hours straight, coming home to a rush of Facebook notifications isn’t exactly what I had expected late on a Sunday night. Neither was the subject matter contained within the notifications.

Aisha (our panel operator) had received an email from our interviewee at the Lupus Foundation stating that she would no longer be able to come in tomorrow for the live to air. This effectively had left us with a 10 minute gap in our show and no alternative segment to fill it.

Fortunately the rest of the group went in to crisis mode and have managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat. They have not only managed to notify everyone necessary (Elizabeth, Sam and Bruce) about the conundrum, but they have managed to procure another interviewee from the Lupus Foundation.

Although this is fantastic news to have come out of a bad situation… it also leaves us with a couple of problems. Namely the fact that the new interviewee is located in N.S.W and will have to do the interview over the phone, and we have centred a lot of our questions around the previous contact.
