Host Kirby Fary fills in for Dylan and chats to Michael Shaik, a member of Free Palestine Melbourne, about his decades-long activism and how supporters can avoid burnout.
La Trobe University PhD candidate Jacinta Humphrey flies in to talk about her latest research into noisy miners, and how the bird is bullying vulnerable species in urban areas.
Plus, artists Ria Soemardjo and Victoria Wanata chat about their sister theatre projects, ‘Surat-Suratnya’ and ‘May 1989’; both about Indonesia’s Suharto era and the lives that were impacted under the dictator.
