On the show: Mike Smithson from 7NEWS on the alleged off-season drug scare that put two Carlton players in hospital, the Kilkenny drive-by shooting, a Selling SA home that comes with free pony rides, Matt Renshaw’s big Test innings and the cost of living. Belinda Jennings from Mum Central on spending a month with a BYD Sealion 8 plug-in hybrid (real running costs, charging at home versus public chargers, and the safety tech that beeps a lot), plus her winning run on Wheel of Fortune.

Bob The Murder Man on a 1954 fatal stabbing at the Actil factory at St Clair. Caroline Rowe on new Monash University research linking ultra-processed foods to poorer focus, cooking for one, the many hidden names for sugar, high-protein snacks and why spring asparagus is a bargain. Plus your tech calls on switching off Gemini and ditching the Samsung web browser, fake phone ‘virus’ warnings, a simple explanation of how AI learns, ads in free ChatGPT and OpenAI’s huge spending, Apple’s rumoured smart home display, printer tips, turning an iPhone into a dumb phone for kids, and the Bathurst result.
