    DEEP DIVE: Has hospitality got a culture problem?

    19/06/2026 | 15 mins.
    Behind the scenes, hospitality can be a tough place to work - long hours, high pressure, angry customers and stressed colleagues. And some workers say bullying and abusive behaviour are part of the culture.
    So why has that become normal, and what would it take to change it?
    In this week's Deep Dive, you'll hear from hospitality workers about the realities of the industry — from surviving toxic workplaces to one chef who's trying to do things differently.
    Plus, you'll hear from a union rep on how the next generation of workers is pushing back against this culture.
    Guest:
    Tim Kennedy, national secretary, United Workers Union

    Is wearable tech ruining fashion? Pauline's plan + World Cup tea

    19/06/2026 | 31 mins.
    There's a lot to talk about Pauline Hanson this week, from her National Press Club speech and her pledge for a 'monoculture', to the protest poster and the toy bulldozer gifted to her by Gina Rinehart. 
    And, US World Cup fans are being made fun of on social media for their 'lame' chants, will they have anything better prepared than "I believe that we will win" when they take on the Socceroos this weekend? 
    Plus, Snapchat's parent company dropped its augmented reality glasses this week. Some say they're a game-changer – others reckon they're ugly. 
    Host Dave Marchese is joined by entertainer Etcetera Etcetera and Crikey News reporter Daany Saeed.

    INTERVIEW: Why "angertainment" is driving social media

    17/06/2026 | 27 mins.
    Why is everyone so angry online?
    Is it just the state of the world, or could some of that fury have been strategically manufactured?
    According to political communications expert Ed Coper, "angertainment" is shaping society and there's a high chance you have fallen victim to it.
    In this chat, Ed talks about his investigation into the social media algorithms that are designed to make us mad, and why he thinks it's impacting the way we communicate and vote.
