    Aussies Bracing For Supermarket Shock & Everything We Know About Bridgerton Season 5

    25/03/2026 | 22 mins.
    We’ve only just cooled down from the steamy fourth season of Bridgerton, but the next lead has officially been confirmed, and it’s a major departure from the original books.
    As speculation reaches a fever pitch, we’re indulging in everything we know about the much-anticipated fifth season.
    Today, we sit down with Grace Rouvray from the Watch Party podcast to unpack the reveal of Francesca Bridgerton and Michaela Stirling, exploring the internet’s reaction to the gender-swap and why the show decided to skip over Eloise for now.
    Plus, we investigate the future of Lady Whistledown and whether we’ll be waiting years for the next chapter of the ton to drop on Netflix

    Explained: Petrol, Panic Buying & Price Pressure

    24/03/2026 | 21 mins.
    As global tensions and conflict in the Middle East threaten the flow of oil into Australia, the warning signs are flashing. While we aren't out of fuel yet, regional towns are already seeing shortages, prices at the bowser are climbing, and supply is at risk of running low.
    So, how much do we really have left, and why is our 'just-in-time' delivery system so vulnerable to international shocks?
    Today, we're joined by the NRMA's Peter Khoury to explain where our fuel actually comes from and how many days of reserves we have left.
    Plus, consumer behaviour expert Dr Paul Harrison joins us to discuss the psychology of panic buying and how this shortage will eventually hit your grocery bill and your commute.

    24/03/2026 | 5 mins.
