Meet the mayors of Australia's coolest suburbs

In late October, Time Out Global published its list of the 40 coolest suburbs in the world. Australia landed two in the top ten, with Melbourne's Yarraville in fifth place and Sydney's Marrickville in tenth. What makes these locales so special, and what has been the impact of Covid? In this episode, Mike chats with Councillor Sarah Carter, who was the Mayor of Maribyrnong in 2020, the council district home to Yarraville, then catches up with Darcy Byrne, Mayor of the Inner West Council, home to Marrickville. He also invites Time Out Australia editorial director Cass Knowlton to explain what the coolest suburb exercise tells us about our audience.
