What am I listening to on my Friday night drive home from the studios?
My favourite Dickens-inspired band. An innovative, unpredictable, intriguing sound from the 60s and 70s that passes the test of time.

It took a days of travel through flooded roads with no mobile coverage, but we made it to the frontlines of #PakistanFloods disaster.
Tonight on @SBSNews we go inside villages in Pakistan’s farming heartland. Houses destroyed, lives and livelihoods lost in a #climate disaster

I’ve had a few wonderful dégustation dinners on a number of continents (some even without an Espresso Martini!). This South African offering at ranks among the best. Well done, Franschhoek.

Strange but heartwarming story. This one kids event I did about 7 years ago in a bookshop, I turned up and there was one kid and his grandma. I waited until about ten minutes past the time and no one else turned up, which was really strange.+

Really sensitive, compassionate coverage on tonight of the first anniversary of the collapse of the Afghan government. Well done . This is why public broadcasting matters.

It’s seems two reporters knew about Scott Morrison’s lie through omission to the Australian public, and rather than report this, sat on the important news to sell a few books. And we wonder why people don’t trust journalists anymore.

Deep thanks to one of my favourite people, Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, for this chat about everything under the rainbow (and beyond), inc. the politics of allyship, intersectionality and watching a generation of LGBTIQ+ leaders achieving change.

Today’s run was a very special opportunity to share a nostalgic hour with Judith and the boys.

Rockin', rollin', ridin' out along the bay.
Sadly, today we say goodbye to Judith Durham, so much part of my growing-up soundtrack.
All bound for Morningtown, many miles away.
We'll be paying tribute in at 6.30.

One day short of ten weeks - that’s the time it took for my passport to be renewed. That’s stressful with a departure date looming.
But, credit where it’s due: the good folk at were friendly and co-operative. And above all they followed through on what they promised to do.

Whether it's about a Voice, a Pride jumper or lighting up the Shrine of Remembrance to honour gay and lesbian military personnel: how important is it to be a nation of respect and dignity and inclusion? It feels like this is shaping up to be a moment for us to define who we are.

For exuberant, irresistible rhythms and good-to-be-alive energy, it’s hard to go past this class act. I’ll be singing along - with pre-emptive apologies to other drivers - very LOUDLY!

He’s one half - with Joni - of the famed Mitchell-Taylor Boy&Girl Choir (ie backup singers for Carole King on Tapestry). Also a Hall of Famer with 100m in record sales and a certifiable music legend.

What an amazing, intriguing, revealing podcast series this is. I couldn’t stop listening. Elizabeth Reid, John Menadue and Richard Butler are just some of the players in the extraordinary drama that played out in Nov 1975. Great work .

Legendary Sam Cooke started out as a doo-wop singer (the best kind).
The King of Soul, as he was later styled, took an E in the 1950s. No, not the party drug. He changed his name from Cook to Cooke.

Australian government, your time is now. pick up the phone to Washington, bring Assange's decade+ long ordeal to an end. You might not like him, but the time has come to stand up for our fellow citizen. To stand up for freedom of speech, for whistle-blowers.

Confronting but rewarding, in-your-face violence, tenderness, intrigue. Standout elements for me were the nuanced writing, very real characters and especially the thoughtful cinematography.
Lonesome - a new film - proves big ideas trump small budgets.

A little disingenuous if you ask me. If her new partner had been a man there would be no element of coming out. A key difference casually ignored.

On the anniversary of Tiananmen there are always people who tweet that reports of a massacre are the invention of the Western media. I was there, I saw it happen & I counted 40 people killed in front of my eyes. And my team filmed it all.
