Last week another popular music festival announced its going on hiatus. Harvest Rock. We’ve talked a lot about the struggling live music scene post COVID on this podcast.
But we’re not going to talk about that today. What we are going to talk about is Australia’s live theatre industry. Because while we’ve been watching music festivals suffer, another creative sector has been facing its own, similar challenges, with multiple big-budget shows axing performances in recent weeks.
We’ll explain what’s going on, and the UK Government model that could offer a way out for Australia’s struggling stages.

Last week, something unusual happened in Canberra. A group of Australia’s best musicians, artists and writers came together outside Parliament House. Not to perform but to rally. They were there to deliver a message to the Albanese Government: don't sell us out to Big Tech.
On today's podcast, I'm going to explain what they're actually worried about, why the Government is spending billions courting some of the world's biggest tech companies, and what Australian creatives stand to lose if things go wrong.

The cost of living crisis has changed a lot of things for young Aussies. What we eat, where we live, whether we can afford to go out. But one of the other consequences is what this economic crisis is doing to our health. Not just our physical health, but our mental health, our relationship with our bodies, and our ability to access the medical care we actually need.
So this week, we went directly to our listeners and asked you about your own experiences. Have you ever delayed accessing healthcare because of rising costs? What about exercising or getting in with a psychologist? It turns out there is a trend emerging, which we’re going to unpack in today’s deep dive.
This podcast is produced with insights from Revo Fitness. However, everything we’re about to talk about was researched and written by us, and the content remains entirely independent.

In Australia, it is completely legal to lie in a political ad. Politicians can run false claims, spread misinformation, and publish AI-generated content, all without facing consequences. That could soon change though, after one MP introduced a bill last week to try and legislate truth in political advertising.
In today’s podcast we're going to break down the rules around political ads, and what proposed changes could be on the horizon.

Last week, Channel Nine dropped Karl Stefanovic, one of its longest-standing TV hosts, over a podcast episode with a British far-right, anti-Islam activist. Stefanovic launched the podcast saying it was going to be “unfiltered and uncensored,” and while that might be the case, that doesn’t mean it is without consequences for his Australian media career. In today’s episode, we’ll explain why interviewing Tommy Robinson meant Karl lost his job at Nine.
