    THE SHAKEUP: HYROX pooer, Sheeran v Macklemore + that Sydney Sweeney ad

    18/09/2026 | 31 mins.
    How far would you go to win? Australian athlete Joanna Wietryzk kept competing despite soiling herself during a HYROX event ... and she went on to win. Some respect the hustle, some are furious.
    And, all of Ed Sheeran's support acts (including his backing band) have ditched his tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was dropped for voicing his support of Palestine on stage. Is music inherently political, or should the two be separate?
    Plus, was Sydney Sweeney's sexualised gambling ad damaging to women's sport?
    Host Luke Siddham Dundon is joined by Amy Kimball Tassell, executive producer of It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield and comedian Fergus Neal.

    They've made a documentary about their experience, called Nansie, which was released last year and premiered on SBS this month.
    In this week's long listen Adelaide and Lucinda open up about their relationship with their nana, and what they've learnt about the disease which kills more Australians than anything else.
