This is my first solo episode for Season 3! With the federal election only a matter of days away, I step through the Planning Institute of Australia's Federal Election Platform. In this solo chat, I explain:
- What are the key asks of the planning profession for the next Australian Government?
- How can the next Australian Government help facilitate more well-located housing, plan for climate action and resilience, create a stronger National Urban Policy, and tackle the national shortage of planners?

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
