Dylan and Kulja speak with author and journalist George Megalogenis about his essay for The Monthly on The Voice to Parliament, taking a look at what previous referenda, demographics and the Coalition’s opposition mean for the success of The Voice.
Wendy Stone, Professor at Swinburne University, discusses the impact of short-term accommodation such as Airbnbs on the housing crisis amid the NSW government announcing a commission, and City of Melbourne’s approval of regulations for the rentals.
Plus, Melbourne-based writer Harry Saddler joins in-studio to discuss his new book Clear Flowing Yarra and his own connection to the river, and musician Ed Kuepper chats about his upcoming national tour in support of the remastered reissues of his first two solo albums.
