Australian Open off-court drama & an NFL Divisional Round preview

Guess who’s back (back again)!

Guest host Lauren Tuiskula’s back with host Ellen Hyslop, breaking down the latest from the tennis court and the gridiron on today’s episode of The GIST of It.

Then after the break, it’s back to the States, as the NFL Playoff gridiron heats up for the eight teams still standing in this weekend’s Divisional Round. Will these quarter-final games top last weekend’s Wild Card chaos?
