  • Something is broken

    I absolutely love the show, listening to deep dive and headlines every day. But something is broken around the episodes of the deep dive. If I pause or close my app mid show the episode goes into meltdown. Skips to ads, ends mid sentence, starts again. It’s unpredictable. No other podcasts have this problem except this one.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The transport gap for people with disability
Q: And where do you think it goes to from here?
The Disability Discrimination Act is under review, and advocates want greater consistency among states and schemes that reflect the growing use of rideshares. The hosts also suggest eligible people check what subsidy is available in their state.
The transport gap for people with disability
Q: Are they working?
Chris Edwards says taxi subsidies can make transport more affordable but do not always provide transparency or fairness. Blind and low-vision passengers also face difficulties identifying cars, booking accessibly, and being picked up, so meaningful progress means having affordable choices comparable to those available to other passengers.
The changing regulation of porn
Q: Tell us about what we know about how what someone sees in porn translates to how they have sex or potentially sexually assault someone.
Research cited by the hosts found that more than half of surveyed 18-to-35-year-olds had experienced strangulation during sex, and porn was the most common place they learned about it. Strangulation can cause serious injury or death, including long-term brain damage from oxygen deprivation.
The changing regulation of porn
Q: Tell us what happened.
New age-restricted material codes under Australia's Online Safety Act required websites to verify users' ages. Pornhub initially restricted access for Australians rather than introducing its own checks, then restored access for eligible adults verified through Apple.
Is Australia's social media ban actually working?
Q: Is your government considering a ban on AI use for under 16s?
Wells says AI services such as chatbots will be covered by the Digital Duty of Care, but the government is not currently considering extending the social media ban to AI. Her priority is improving enforcement and compliance with the existing law.
