Big Small Talk: 5 PM Tuesdays So you want to know what’s happening in parliament, but you also want to know the latest in pop culture? Good, as you should. From the front page to your newsfeeds, no story is too serious, stale, funny or frivolous. Because, if you haven’t realised, loving pop culture doesn’t mean you don’t understand politics. Knowing all your shit? That’s hot. New Episodes 5pm Tuesday.

Small Talk: 6 AM Thursdays It might not be tangible news but each week there’s something in the cultural zeitgeist that gets us all talking. We want to unpack these frivolous conversations, from new trends to relationship theories to life advice. In an age of never-ending small talk, we want to examine how these collective thoughts affect the way we see the world. We may even reach out to a few friends and experts to weigh in.

Big Talk: Wednesday 6 AM - Last Two Weeks of Every Month Over the past few decades, there have been news headlines so shocking that we still hear and feel their impact, such as Roe V Wade, Monica Lewinsky, Epstein, Mabo and Hillsong. Don’t you think it’s about time you knew all the important and salacious details about the real stories that have happened that shaped our world today? Come on, I know you’re curious.

  • BIG TALK: Julian Assange & WikiLeaks PART TWO

    BIG TALK: Julian Assange & WikiLeaks PART TWO
    Jun 23 2026

    Chelsea Manning has leaked hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, including the infamous Collateral Murder video. The fallout is immediate: governments scramble, public trust is shaken, and Julian Assange becomes one of the most divisive figures in the world.

    We unpack the leaks that changed everything, the 2016 U.S. election controversy, Assange's years inside the Ecuadorian embassy, and the legal battle that eventually brought him back to Australia.

    Hero, journalist, hacker, criminal? You can decide!

  • BIG TALK: Julian Assange & WikiLeaks PART ONE

    BIG TALK: Julian Assange & WikiLeaks PART ONE
    Jun 23 2026

    Before WikiLeaks became one of the most controversial organisations in the world, Julian Assange was a teenage hacker from Australia with a fascination for secrecy.

    In this episode, we trace Assange's journey from hacking NASA and the Pentagon to developing the philosophy that would eventually underpin WikiLeaks. We unpack the leaks that first put the organisation on the map, from government corruption in Kenya and Guantánamo Bay documents to Scientology secrets and Australia's internet censorship blacklist.

    And finally, we meet the whistleblower who would change everything: Chelsea Manning. Part Two is out now.
