  • 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.

  • 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.
