What’s Coming Up: Get ready for PM Albanese’s meeting with President Trump
Our segment on What’s Coming Up for the week ahead is now its own episode. We get a lot of feedback from Squizers that one of the most helpful things we do is to get you across what’s going on in the day/week ahead. So we decided to create a bit more space for it with this new News Club episode.
This week, we’ll spend a bit of time talking about PM Anthony Albanese’s long-awaited meeting with US President Donald Trump. There’s an upcoming hearing for a coronial inquest into domestic violence in Alice Springs. And we check in on how Indonesian President Probowo Subianto is faring after one year in office.
And if you haven’t listened to the Weekly Wrap yet, just go one episode back and, coupled with this podcast, you’ll be caught up and ready to tackle the week ahead.

Weekly Wrap: Implementing the Gaza peace plan, and reflections on Diane Keaton
There was a lot of attention this week on the release of the hostages held in Gaza, and quite a bit to unpack on the implementation of the peace deal. There’s been a few shaky moments...

What’s Coming Up: Gaza's ceasefire timetable, Japan's locking in a new PM, and it's Oz v Kiwiland in netball
Our segment on What’s Coming Up for the week ahead is now its own episode. We get a lot of feedback from Squizers that one of the most helpful things we do is to get you across what’s going on in the day/week ahead. So we decided to create a bit more space for it with this new News Club episode.
This week, we’ll spend a bit of time talking about the key timings for the newly inked ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. France’s loss of its fifth PM in 2 years and Japan’s vote on Wednesday could see both with new political leadership in the week ahead - we’ll get you across that. And with the first game in the 2025 Constellation Cup coming up, we check in with netball and their efforts to put the elite level of the sport back on track.
And if you haven’t listened to the Weekly Wrap yet, just go one episode back and, coupled with this podcast, you’ll be caught up and ready to tackle the week ahead.
