We sit down with Dr Sharonne Zaks AM, a Melbourne-based dentist internationally recognised for pioneering trauma-informed dental care.

We explore the fascinating and fraught world of “bad” words that have been reclaimed over time. Starting with audience feedback on our interview with former neo-Nazi Jeff Schoep, we move from a tale of a doomed cross-stitch kit into a discussion of words, and look at how insults can be re-owned with power while others still sting.

Grudges can feel great to hold – they're juicy, self-righteous and satisfying, but are they bad for us?

The world is more divided than ever, and to help us make sense of it all, we asked former neo-Nazi leader Jeff Schoep to join us on air this week.

He now works through his nonprofit to help others exit, stressing the need to replace lost purpose and communi...

This week, we welcomed academic and former tech/finance exec George Robinson to the show to demystify AI. George reframes AI as a practical “capability” rather than a scary black box — less robot overlord, more super-charged advisor that can search, synthesise, and help you make smarter decisions.

Today: modern coming-of-age (and whether we’re actually letting kids come of age at all). From hyper-styled Bridgerton dorm rooms to parents calling professors and even bosses, we're wrestling with overprotective trends, what counts as care vs. control, and the line between comfort and infantilisation — yes, including adults with plushies.
