    INTERVIEW: Socceroos star Awer Mabil on that viral bullsh*t moment and how football saved him

    02/09/2026 | 25 mins.
    Awer Mabil is one of Australia's most recognisable footballers, representing Australia at two World Cups.
    It's a long way from his childhood in a refugee camp, where he was forced to make footballs out of balloons and plastic bags.
    Now back in Australia after years living overseas, Awer opens up about his past, what he's looking forward to, and how it feels to live his dreams.
    In this chat with Dave, he also talks about the work he's doing to improve the lives of refugees, and why he called out Pauline Hanson's plans around monoculture as "bullshit".

    02/09/2026 | 31 mins.
    Australia needs 72,000 more tradies by 2030 to keep up with demand for data centres, renewables and new homes. But with apprentice dropout rates remaining an issue, how will the tradie shortage be solved?

    Listen now:
    00:59 - Why Australia doesn't have enough tradies

    01/09/2026 | 31 mins.
    Former gang boss Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been found guilty of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur.
    And should depictions of strangulation in porn be banned? The government says it's seriously considering the idea, as calls intensify following the death of a 16-year-old Sydney girl.
