    DEEP DIVE: Wait, so house prices are falling?

    03/07/2026 | 19 mins.
    After years of rapid growth, Australia's housing market is finally starting to slow. But is it enough to make property more affordable? And what's causing the dip?
    The Housing Minister Claire O'Neil says it's thanks to interest rates and market conditions, but the opposition reckons it's got more to do with government policy. Meanwhile the mainstream media appears devastated by the downturn. 
    Host Dave Marchese breaks it down with ABC business and economics reporter Gareth Hutchens.

    THE SHAKEUP: Empire State proposal, Trump's crypto haul + please don't poop in the mosh

    03/07/2026 | 31 mins.
    Two Russian daredevils scaled New York City's Empire State Building, unfurled a banner and got engaged. So, is this a romantic grand gesture? Or a public spectacle nobody asked for?
    Plus, US President Donald Trump raked in over $2 billion from cryptocurrency. Should presidents be allowed to personally profit while in office?
    And, is mosh pit etiquette dead? Noah Kahan begged fans not to poop at his shows, after someone allegedly shat on the venue floor instead of using the bathroom.
    We also unpack the rumours surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's supposed Madison Square Garden wedding. Is it tacky, too commercial or simply a decoy to distract from the real venue?
    Host Dave Marchese is joined by journalist Jessica Wang and Creator Jack Tossol.

    Growing up, Bek Condello never imagined getting old.
    The strict doomsday church she was born into constantly warned that the world could end at any time.

    In this chat, Bek opens up about her life before and the person she's now become. 
    Bek's book Can You Handle A Girl Like Me? is available from July 14.
