    Young Aussies' changing relationship with the media

    17/06/2026 | 22 mins.
    Earlier this week, a new report on how Aussies consume news media was released. It’s the latest in a long-running international survey that compares data on media usage in 48 different countries, and is deemed the authoritative source of information for understanding changing attitudes and behaviours when it comes to news.
    In today’s podcast, we’re gonna break down some of the biggest findings, including that young people’s trust in news jumped significantly in a single year, Australia is bucking global trends when it comes to interest in news and that news creators are growing steeply in popularity.

    Can we prevent shark attacks?

    16/06/2026 | 23 mins.
    A woman suffered life threatening injuries after she was bitten by a shark, 30 metres from the shore at Sydney’s Coogee beach on the weekend. The incident has reignited long-running debate around how/if humans can safely coexist with sharks in the ocean.
    Today we’ll unpack how governments are trying to mitigate the risk of shark attacks, what technologies exist in this space, and why these attacks seem to be on the rise.
