  • MOSTLY INFORMATIVE

    Chris is an informative presenter, most of the time, with the only exception that he is a climate change denier. You can’t be a climate change denier, and claim at the same time to be informative. Do your homework Chris, and only then will you become one of the top radio presenters in Sydney. ✅✅✅

  • Most biased podcast I've ever listened to.

    Right wing rubbish. Don't listen to this podcast unless you like hearing fascists talk to other fascists. Ramblings of a completely biased neo-conservative old man

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Health: MND breakthrough with Dr Richard Clark
Q: What does the timeline toward human trials look like?
They are in early stages with animal evidence supporting safety and efficacy, with a potential path to clinical trials within about five years if safety is established.
Health: MND breakthrough with Dr Richard Clark
Q: How significant is this R8Y molecule in the fight against motor neurone disease?
It represents an important first step in understanding the disease mechanism and how the immune system's over-activation drives it, which could lead to a drug that dampens that process.
Remarkable Australian: Linda Widdup from Aussie Hay Runners
Q: What inspired you to start this initiative, and how did it grow so quickly?
I saw farmers in Dunedoo and surrounding areas desperate for water and feed after disasters; I started with a shout-out and a few truckloads, and once people saw what was possible, support surged, growing from 13 trucks to a nationwide network.
Weekends with Trent Nikolic - Saturday 18 July 2026
Q: What is the official name of the new AI office launched by the Prime Minister?
The show poses the question and uses listener quiz segments to reveal knowledge about the AI office, with Dennis and guests providing context.
Weekends with Trent Nikolic - Sunday 19 July 2026
Q: What will tenants face if policy changes favor landlords over investment incentives?
Noel Whittaker argues that supply constraints and tax policy can raise rents even if the goal is to reduce them, and that demonizing investors is counterproductive; the discussion emphasizes the need to increase housing supply and address regulatory barriers.
