  • New format needs to go

    The new format of smaller interviews which are then repeated in the longer version needs to go. You can’t listen back to back with out having to skip over the shorter episodes. Really tricky if you’re listening whilst run/riding.

Regulating the gambling industry, why the NT needs skateparks + racism in sport

We needed to talk to people who want to be part of the solution and emphasize practical changes.
Regulating the gambling industry, why the NT needs skateparks + racism in sport
Q: Do you back these calls for a parliamentary inquiry into the laws around this regulator?
Yes, there should be a national regulator along with bans on advertising and wagering.
Caring for your siblings as a teenager + will the Gaza ceasefire hold?
Q: Can that help, Maddie, telling your workplace or your uni what's going on?
It definitely can; it can help you access support services and get necessary extensions without feeling guilty.
Caring for your siblings as a teenager + will the Gaza ceasefire hold?
Q: Can you explain what is the difference between, say, a ceasefire and peace?
A ceasefire can be used interchangeably with a pause in conflict; it is temporary and does not mean the conflict is resolved like a peace deal would.
Caring for your siblings as a teenager + will the Gaza ceasefire hold?
Q: What's your take on the current state of the ceasefire agreement? Just how fragile is it?
It seems to be extremely fragile, especially over the last few days, with breaches of the ceasefire on both sides.
