  • 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.

Weekends with Luke Grant - Saturday 16 May
Q: What budget changes are highlighted as controversial?
Changes include removing negative gearing for established properties, a 30% minimum capital gains tax, and expanded migration which could offset affordability gains, with critics arguing it hurts housing supply and wages.
Weekends with Luke Grant - Saturday 16 May
Q: What is the core issue in the Giggle v. Tickle case as discussed on air?
The case centers on whether a women-only app should ban a male who identifies as a woman, raising questions about sex-based spaces and the legality of excluding transgender participants under the Sex Discrimination Act.
Weekends with Luke Grant - Sunday 17 May
Q: What does Beyond DV do to support families beyond immediate shelter?
Carolyn Robinson explains the five pillars of recovery, including housing, health and counseling, legal support, social connection, and financial rebuilding, with programs evaluated as world-leading by Deakin University.
Health: Critical care for Dementia - Dr Michael Chapman
Q: What should we do, given that dementia now is, is it not the leading cause of death in Australia?
We should rethink our approach to dementia and integrate palliative care into the illness journey, focusing on living well, comfort, dignity, and quality of life, rather than treating dementia as purely end-of-life. This involves earlier planning, better connection, and treating dementia as a condition that we can support rather than conquer.
