More than 100 clubs have closed down around Australia in the last couple of years.  With lockdowns and lockouts, health kicks and Tinder, people have been hitting clubs way less, particularly in Sydney. So is clubbing a thing of the past?  Plus, have you seen the historic photos of protesters taking over the Sri Lankan Presidential Palace? It's a massive moment for the country. We talk to former Hack host Avani Dias about what's going on, and what's led to this.  And, Monekypox is not going away. The number of cases is ..read more

It's the Shakeup! This week we're chatting about…  Female tennis players wanting a change to Wimbledon's all-white dress code, especially when they're menstruating, Boris making a brexit from politics (soon-ish), and switching off the socials when everyone but you (and us!) are holidaying in sunny Europe. Yeah, we're so happy for them...  Join Joanna Lauder with comedian Rhys Nicholson and journalist Matilda Boseley.  ..read more

There's been a lot of talk about abortion laws in the US recently. But we've actually had some pretty major changes here in Australia. South Australia has become the last jurisdiction to decriminalise abortion, meaning it will finally be more accessible, and people with unwanted pregnancies won't have to fit through tricky legal loopholes.  Plus, just this week we've seen the impact of climate change on our country – floods taking over towns that have already been flooded two or three times. Ages ago, the Abbott Government scrapped modelling that would assess ..read more

Thirty bucks for watermelon, $12 for lettuce, this is food insecurity at play. But your rent might be going up too. And somehow rental vacancies are going down as well. We have a big cost of living theme on the show today. We're digging into why food is getting so pricey, why it could get even worse, and where it’s particularly bad. Then we're going to look into some new rental data that shows there are almost no options for some renters.  Plus, are we about to get COVID again? Because we're being warned by some experts that it's about to get bad (again ..read more

How committed would you be to living longer? Would you change your diet to get another 20 years? Some findings published in the journal Cell detail that a specific balance of whole foods, fasting, staying within a specific BMI, and limiting meat intake can combine for a much longer life. But can you really BF?  And, it's NAIDOC week! We'll be profiling a whole bunch of incredible people. Today, that's artist Dylan Mooney who illustrates First Nations' identity and queer love. Plus, cultural fishing has been passed down through generations of First Nations people, yet s ..read more

It's the Shakeup! This week we're talking... Justin Trudeau forgetting PM Anthony Albanese's name, cultural tattoo discrimination when it comes to nightclub dress codes, and the millennials now outnumbering boomers, so get ready for more Harry Potter references and chat about 'adulting'.  Join Dave Marchese with musician Raph Dixon and journalist Isa Staskovski.  ..read more

Conversion practices that try to 'pray the gay away' are still happening in some parts of Australia, and they're extremely harmful. Some states like Queensland, have banned conversion practices, but some activists think the Federal Government should step in.   And, a lot of clubs have dress codes that ban face and neck tattoos, but what about when those tattoos have cultural significance and importance? One woman says she was denied entry into a Brisbane nightclub because of her face tattoos which have deep historical and cultural meaning.   Plus, what do you think of ..read more

They're the MVPs of our time – Uber drivers kept us fed during lockdowns and COVID outbreaks, even when we didn't know if a vaccine was possible. The job comes with huge safety risks (particularly for those on bikes) and instability. But it's looking like they're going to get a minimum wage and, oh, idk, like some basic job security. But does it mean the price of your Uber order is about to go up? And, we sometimes think volunteering is for Boomers and retirees with heaps of time on their hands, but we speak with three young people who found a way to fit it in, and say it's had a massive posit ..read more

Imagine calling a ride to get home, but it never comes, and you realise you're stranded. That's what it's like for many people living with disability in the regions – sometimes they order a lift and are left waiting for literal hours in the cold. And it doesn't just make having a social life hard, but even just maintaining a job.  Plus, happy nerd christmas! The results from Australia's biggest ever quiz – sorry, survey – are in, and there are some interesting findings, (yes, we promise) including Millennials overtaking Boomers in the numbers g ..read more
