  • Nightlife with Phil Clark

    I listen daily but have to shut it off from all the anti American and hate comments from Phil Clark. He suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.

    Funny how a lefty can get away from spreading lies and hate speech and be on a national radio station.

    Phil regularly pokes fun of anything from the USA but half of his program revolves around USA. Between local events the mighty challenge it 50% USA.

  • Having just listened to Jennifer Parker's very open and refreshingly transparent assessment of where Australia's navy is predicting its future direction and why i must say its hard to find any flaws in her arguments, its very reassuring to hear young intelligent future leaders of our armed forces getting on with the business of planning to be successful in our actions as opposed to the overtly self defeating penitent witch hunts our army seems obliged to inflict on itself at every opportunity

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Nerd Reich - Warnings Sounded over AI Billionaires
Q: What role does money in politics play in enabling these tech billionaires to influence democracy?
The guest explains that unlimited corporate money, through mechanisms like Citizens United, has allowed a billionaire class to finance political campaigns and policy agendas, effectively buying influence and undermining checks and balances.
Facial prosthetics and plastic surgery
Q: How is an orbital prosthesis created and what makes it particularly challenging?
An orbital prosthesis combines an artificial eye with eyelids and surrounding tissue, requiring precise sculpting, color matching, and alignment so it looks realistic and follows the eye without moving like a real eyelid.
Facial prosthetics and plastic surgery
Q: What can a facial prosthesis do for someone who has lost part of their face?
A facial prosthesis restores appearance and function, helping individuals regain confidence, protect facial tissues, and re-enter daily life after cancer treatment or trauma.
How immigration made Australia
Q: Could you expand on how the dictation test worked and why it was used?
The dictation test was a mechanism to restrict immigration by requiring applicants to write a passage in a European language; the official could choose the language, and the test effectively blocked many non-European entrants, with the policy formalized through the Immigration Restriction Act and tested in courts and debates for decades.
The Challenge: What was Led Zeppelin's first number one single in Australia?
Q: What was Led Zeppelin's first number one single in Australia?
The actual answer given by callers varied and was contested; the host indicated it was not the guessed options.
