We trace Daniel’s journey from coal country in Central Queensland, then into the nuts and bolts of electrifying Australia’s heaviest emitters. W...
Entrepreneur-turned-energy-nerd Fred Hopley joins us to demonstrate what an all-electric life really looks like - today. Fred has installed a 15 kW rooftop solar system plus a home battery and two EVs, then developed his own home energy management system (on Home Assistant) to orchestrate it all. The result? Around 141% annual self-generation and a negative power bill by smart-charging, exporting at peak prices, and soaking up chea...
In this episode of The Shameless Plug, we’re diving into one of the biggest hidden energy stories in Australia: hot water. Around 30% of Australia’s domestic energy capacity is used just for heating water. That’s nearly a third of the energy we consume at home - running showers, washing dishes, and doing laundry.
To help us unpack this, we’re joined by Karl Jensen, a leading expert in heat pump hot water systems. Karl is passion...
In this episode, we meet Dr Kim Loo, a GP and an overachieving climate advocate who works with several climate organisations including Doctors for the Environment and Asian Australians for Climate Solutions. She has long been an advocate for electrification and uses kitchen diplomacy by running induction wok cooking classes for sceptical home cooks. She’s so persuasive, she even convinced her 84-year-old mum to make the switch.&nbs...
An electric bike was Chris Kerr's gateway to electrification, tired of sitting in Sydney's standstill traffic. Then, during Covid lockdown in 2020, his family spent money from a cancelled overseas holiday on installing solar panels.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
