Last week, millions of Australians were reminded that their phone and data service is only as reliable as one company’s software, when Telstra experienced its third major outage in under a year.
Today, we’ll unpack why these outages keep happening, what regulators want to do about it, and a question that’s been the subject of a decade-long debate: If a telco experiences an outage, why can't your phone jump onto a competitor’s network instead?

Yesterday, former Australian of the Year Professor Richard Scolyer was honoured with a state funeral at the Sydney Opera House, after he died on 7 June from brain cancer, aged 59. The service included countless moving tributes to the pioneering pathologist credited with saving thousands of lives.
Richard Scolyer is remembered as the researcher that turned melanoma from a common death sentence into a largely curable disease. But his legacy extends beyond that. He shared his three year journey and public health battle as patient zero of an experimental immunotherapy treatment with millions of Australians.
In today's deepdive, we are going to play you a very special interview we did with Professor Richard Scolyer back in November 2024.

In case you missed it, the Federal Government has for the first time released a report tracking how AI is reshaping Australia’s workforce.
It said there has been no evidence that AI has caused widespread job losses or major disruptions… yet. Which might be surprising considering the job cuts we have heard about.
This report, from the government, does paint a bit of a different picture. But it also tells us what job are most at risk. We’ll tell you what you need to know in today’s podcast.

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.

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.
