Recorded at the Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress in London this episode of TopMedTalk sees Andy Cumpstey speaking with a panel of experts about the VITAL trial: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial about volatile vs total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for major non-cardiac surgery in adult patients. The primary outcome was days alive and out of hospital at 30 days. Despite finding no significant differences in the primary outcome, the trial reveals that patients receiving TIVA anesthesia experience better recovery, with less postoperative nausea and other side effects. The conversation also touches on the trial mechanics, related ongoing studies, and implications for future research and clinical practice. Our guests include Professor Joyce Yeung, Director, Perioperative Medicine Clinical Trials Network, Associate Clinical Professor at University of Warwick and Honorary Consultant in critical care; Professor Shaji Sebastian, IBD Service Lead at Hull University Teaching Hospitals, and Chair of the BSG Research Committee and Professor Bernhard Riedel, Director, Department of Anaesthetics, Perioperative Medicine, and Pain Medicine, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia The paper is here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2852741 For more about EBPOM check out www.ebpom.org

In the winter of 1864, two ships met their fate on one of the most remote and unforgiving stretches of the Southern Ocean. The Grafton and the Invercauld were wrecked thousands of miles from civilization, leaving their survivors stranded on the desolate Auckland Islands. What followed was a remarkable test of endurance, struggling against the cold, hunger and isolation that would see feats of remarkable ingenuity and the lowest of humanity leading to two very different survival stories, separated by only a few miles of wilderness and a very, very tall cliff.

In the first few years of the 2020s, the United States engaged in unprecedented breaches of American civil liberties under the pretense of protecting public health and safety. Yet compared to Australia, we got off light. Matt Kibbe is joined by author and filmmaker Topher Field, who personally documented the way the Australian government cracked down on speech, assembly, and the right to protest in the city of Melbourne, Victoria. And unfortunately, while we may think that the worst is behind us, there's reason to believe that COVID was simply a blueprint for greater power-grabs to come.

This week, the boys got conspiratorial again! We headed to 1974 to give Alan J. Pakula's “The Parallax View” a spin. Starring Warren Beatty, this political thriller about a journalist trying to uncover the secret conspiracy behind a senator's assassination, two of the co-hosts called this movie “great”, and one called it “fucking tragic”.

Michael Cragg's devotion to all things Kylie once led him to Melbourne in search of the actual carousel horse she rode in a pop video. He got a tattoo a day later. Can't Get You Out Of My Head is a funny and fondly detailed personal account of the risk-taking variety of her records, the mystery of her private life and the irresistible nature of her appeal, a girl who, were there a war on, would be painted on the tail fins of aircraft. He looks back here at … … her ‘90s reinvention by association – with Nick Cave, Michael Hutchence and Bobby Gillespie … how records about joy never get enough credit … wrestling back control after life with Stock Aitken & Waterman … the root of her appeal as a gay icon ... being vilified by the press for any public pronouncement … a capacity to charm her detractors when she meets them … reciting I Should Be So Lucky at the Poetry Olympics alongside Patti Smith and Allen Ginsberg … a mixture of the ordinary and the exotic and the ‘Carry On' sexuality of her videos … only Queen Elizabeth 11 has had more waxworks at Madame Tussauds … and Michael's meeting with her – “I'm six foot eight, she's five foot one” - and the resulting photo.

Five cities are in the mix to host the 2028 NRL grand final - and Auckland is the latest to enter the race. The 2028 decider is up for grabs amid a scheduling clash with Pope Leo XIV's planned Sydney visit, and Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane are all vying for the hosting rights. Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner says he'd love to see New Zealand's national stadium get this 'mouth-watering' opportunity. "We're an intimate, hybrid, multi-purpose stadium, and the Warriors fans across the ditch - when you look at Magic Round at Suncorp Stadium, most of the crowd was actually Warriors fans, so there's no question when you look at participation numbers."

This week, Thomas Spiteri speaks with Dr Mazviita Chirimuuta, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Brain Abstracted: Simplification in the History and Philosophy of Neuroscience (MIT Press, 2024) –  winner of the 2025 Lakatos Award and the 2024 Nayef Al-Rodhan International Prize in Transdisciplinary Philosophy from the Royal Institute of Philosophy.The conversation centres on the central argument of the book: that the leading ideas which have shaped neuroscience are best understood as attempts to simplify the brain, one of the more complex objects of scientific inquiry. Mazviita describes this in practice as a mismatch between the brain's overwhelming complexity and the representations — models, theories, diagrams — that scientists rely on, which necessarily ignore much of that complexity. She identifies three recurring simplifying strategies running through the book — reduction, mathematisation, and analogy — and discusses how "proxy systems," from anesthetised cats to cerebral organoids, let scientists study minimal, decontextualised versions of the brain built using these strategies.She also discusses the diverging paths of neuroscience and AI research, the risk of conflating predictive power with genuine understanding, and why she advocates for greater theoretical pluralism in how science approaches the brain.In this episode, Chirimuuta:Describes her academic path from psychophysics and vision science back into philosophy of scienceIntroduces The Brain Abstracted and its central concern with simplification in neuroscienceUnpacks three recurring simplification strategies in neuroscience — reduction, mathematisation, and analogyTraces how the computer analogy shaped artificial neural networks, from McCulloch and Pitts through Hubel and Wiesel to today's deep learning modelsIntroduces the idea of the "Heraclitean brain" — a system always in flux — and what this means for scientific explanationReflects on the historical back-and-forth between localisationist and dynamic/distributed views of brain functionConsiders the shifting, increasingly divergent relationship between neuroscience and AI research, including energy efficiency as a new point of biological inspirationCalls for greater theoretical humility and pluralism in neuroscience, drawing on the 19th-century work of John Hughlings Jackson as a case studyRelevant LinksThe Brain Abstracted: Simplification in the History and Philosophy of Neuroscience (MIT Press)Mazviita Chirimuuta wins the 2025 Lakatos Award — LSEMazviita Chirimuuta's research site / Outside ColourOutside Color: Perceptual Science and the Puzzle of Color in Philosophy (MIT Press, 2017)Nancy Cartwright, The Dappled World (1999)Nicole Rust, Elusive Cures (2025)Note: This conversation was recorded at the end of 2025.Thanks for listening to The HPS Podcast.

How do you build a voiceover audition setup when the room is tiny, space is precious, and you really don't want to pull the whole thing apart every time you're finished? AP's daughter has moved into a share house in Melbourne and needs something permanent enough to give her consistent audition audio without taking over the room. The gear is already pretty capable: a RØDE NTG3, CEntrance MicPort Pro, Porta Booth, TwistedWave, Source Connect and a trusty old pair of AKGs. The question is how to put it all together so it actually works. That gets the guys talking about mic placement, portable acoustic treatment, desk stands versus boom arms, why positioning can matter more than buying a better microphone, and Robert's recent experience trying to record someone through a remarkably cheap USB mic. Then the conversation turns to a bigger issue for working voice actors. When did having a broadcast quality home studio become something clients simply expected talent to provide for free? Plus old AKG headphones, MRI headphones, sagging boom arms, remote studio costs, subtle compression and the engineers who can hear processing you thought nobody would ever notice. Featuring George Whittam, Robert Marshall, Andrew Peters and Robbo. Recorded using Source Connect. Edited by Andrew Peters. Mixed by Robbo. Got an audio problem of your own?

Is the Australian property boom officially over, or is this the ultimate buying opportunity for long-term investors?  Welcome back to Pumped on Property. In this August 2026 Australian Property Market Update, Ben and Simon share a critical breakdown of what is happening across the country right now. We are currently seeing the largest national property price correction since late 2022, with dwelling values sliding 0.7% over the last month alone.  This downturn is no longer just a Sydney and Melbourne story - the weakness has officially spread into previously resilient markets like Brisbane (-0.6%) and Adelaide (-0.2%). In this video, Ben and Simon break down the data behind the headlines, covering the impact of the three RBA interest rate hikes this year, the ongoing fallout from the federal budget's investor tax rule changes, and why rental markets remain historically tight despite falling asset prices.  Whether you want to buy your next investment property or build your wealth through high-quality real estate, this video will give you the clarity you need to move forward safely.

Growing a property management business from 50 to more than 1,000 properties takes more than winning rent rolls. It requires systems, specialised teams, and a strategy built to scale. Here is how this Melbourne agency did it. On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, Alex Whitlock sits down with H & B Real Estate's head of property management Tim Oldenburg to reveal how the agency transformed its approach to growth. Oldenburg shares how H & B Real Estate moved away from the traditional property manager-does-everything model, instead building specialised teams and systems designed to make the business less dependent on individual staff. The conversation also looks at growth through acquisition, including the due diligence required before taking on a new rent roll and the opportunities that can emerge from improving underperforming portfolios. Whitlock and Oldenburg discuss the landlord relationship, why understanding the customer proposition matters, and how agencies can build a property management operation that continues to perform as it grows. With H & B Real Estate targeting further expansion over the next five years, the pair share the lessons behind its growth journey and what other property management businesses can learn from its approach.

In 1966, teenagers Garry Heywood and Abina Madill disappeared after leaving a dance in Shepparton. Weeks later, their bodies were discovered in bushland, launching one of Victoria's longest-running murder investigations. Detectives had fingerprints from the crime scene, but no name to match them, and for nearly two decades the case remained unsolved.Join Holly and Matthew as they unravel the remarkable investigation that linked the murders to a series of violent sexual assaults across Melbourne, and discover how police finally identified the man known as "Mr Stinky." It's a story of old-fashioned detective work, painstaking fingerprint analysis, and a breakthrough that nobody saw comingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

Stress has become one of the defining challenges of modern life. Whether it's worry, hurry, conflict, uncertainty, or the constant pressure of everyday living, many of us carry burdens that God never intended us to bear alone.In Week 3 of our 50 Days of Transformation series, we discover that one of the Bible's most loved passages—Psalm 23—is far more than a comforting psalm. It is a practical guide to living with God's peace in the middle of life's pressures.Together we'll explore:• The seven biggest sources of modern stress.• Seven life-changing habits found in Psalm 23.• How God provides peace, rest, guidance, protection, and hope.• Practical ways to reduce stress while growing in faith and trust.Transformation isn't just about changing how we think—it's about allowing God to reshape every area of our lives, including our physical wellbeing.If this message encouraged you, we'd love for you to subscribe, like this video, and share it with someone who could use God's peace today.Sermon Notes: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/50-Days-of-Transformation-Week-3-My-Physical-Life-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Everyone has an opinion on housing, and Evan Lucas warns up front that this one will make you either very angry or very happy. In part three of the four-part economics series, he and Ana get into why there's no such thing as "the Australian property market", why supply has lagged for 40 years, and why the standard fixes tend to make the demand side worse.In this episode we'll discuss:

Everything is under control. The purple Pearce powder preservation plan will pay off. Time to Restump Podcast the manic moments of mayhem against the Dees.Straight off the top, quite simply, if Alex Pearce plays, we win that game and you can't change my mind.We may have won plenty of games without the skipper in the past, but when the heat really goes on, we need the General back there organising and executing.Did the Dees expose our vulnerabilities that we may not have known existed? Is our reliance on Alex Pearce a concern? As silly as it sounds, has constant winning wallpapered over our deficiencies or reliances?We haven't faced a lot of adversity this season to date. We've had just a handful of challenges and our injured players rarely resembled a list.The reality is Andy Brayshaw was down, Murphy Reid finally saw a tight tag and had little influence, Freddy was horribly absent, we were vulnerable down back, we wandered away at times from the selflessness that has served us so well, we suffered moments of complacency and yet we lost by just a kick. To put it bluntly, the Dees played out of their skins and cannot play better than they did. We, on the other hand, can and will.Tidy up of just one of Mason Cox's nightmare moments and we walk away with another 4-point package. However, it is preferable to get the lesson now rather than in September.From this point on, in future meetings against Melbourne, Harrison Petty's name is in big black bold letters pregame on the whiteboard. He doesn't get to shed tears over some hurty words, garner widespread sympathy, play the taunting victim and be the catalyst for a pathetic rule change, and then come out and make a mockery of his own episode and play this wannabe fake tough guy character! You can't have it both ways and it was a little disappointing we allowed it. Alex Pearce would have rendered him irrelevant!Anyway, we live, we learn, we look into the loss, lock in on the learnings, leverage the lessons and liquidate the lapses.On some small level the loss alleviates the pressure a little. It removes any dangerous perception of invincibility that could have possibly internally crept in. It could work favourably as a grounding agent that will do us well heading into September.Well, that's enough laundering of the language here. The truth is, other than from a mental perspective, the loss had no impact and it means very little. However, dismissiveness alone doesn't feed the bulldog. So, join us to continue the loss legitimising conversational gymnastics on the pod.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith The Jerusalem Council was the first big test of the early church's beliefs. There were some Jewish Christians who believed that to be saved you also had to be circumcised and to follow the law of Moses. After much debate, the decision was reached that salvation only comes through faith in Jesus Christ and nothing else. This fundamental truth is one of the pillars that the Christian faith is built upon. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.

fWotD Episode 3383: Wild Australia Show Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 9 August 2026, is Wild Australia Show.The Wild Australia Show was a troupe of Indigenous Australian performers that toured Australia during 1892 and 1893. The group was formed by the white businessman Archibald Meston and his business partner Brabazon Harry Purcell with the intention of performing in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe on the way to Chicago to perform at the World's Columbian Exposition. It included 27 Indigenous people from across northern Queensland and the surrounding region: 21 men, 5 women, and 1 child.The Indigenous performers were recruited by Purcell during 1891 and 1892. Their motivations for joining the tour are unknown; scholars have suggested that some may have been kidnapped or coerced, while others may have sought an escape from violent and oppressive conditions on the Queensland frontier. Inspired by the ethnological expositions popular in the colonial era, as well as by Wild West shows like Buffalo Bill's Wild West, the troupe's performances included dances, corroborees, demonstrations of spear and boomerang throwing, and stagings of scenes inspired by the Australian frontier wars. Meston and Purcell acted as narrators and provided commentary on Aboriginal culture during each performance. The group performed in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. They were photographed during their tour at the studios of the photographers Charles Kerry, John William Lindt, and Henry King.Facing financial pressures and contractual disputes, Meston abandoned the troupe in Melbourne in 1893, leaving Purcell and the performers stranded without the funds to return home. Purcell made attempts to continue their planned world tour but was eventually forced to return to Queensland. The performers returned to their lands and largely faded from the historical record. The failed endeavour led to criticism of Meston for his abandonment of the troupe, as well as accusations of kidnapping and a fierce legal battle between the two former business partners.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Sunday, 9 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Wild Australia Show on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

This week's conversation with Dr. Yael Ziegler explores the parallels between this week's prophecy of comfort and earlier, painful images from the book of Eicha that Yeshayahu flips on their head. The prophet also reminds his listeners that God can bring redemption with the same strong arm He used to take us out of Egypt. This episode has been sponsored in honor of the birthday celebration of Dr. Maurice Brygel of Melbourne, Australia. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

Aaron Donald — three-time Defensive Player of the Year, first-ballot Hall of Famer, the most dominant interior defensive lineman in NFL history — officially worked out for the Los Angeles Rams this week in what the NFL transaction wire formally labeled a tryout. Sean McVay said things are going in the right direction. NBC Sports is reporting a decision could come in the coming days. For 49ers fans watching this from Santa Clara with 20 guys on the injury report and an offensive line battle at left guard that's still completely unsettled — this is not the news you wanted heading into Week 1 in Melbourne. 

After a 16 year hiatus, Vietnamese-Australian writer Nam Le returned to the literary scene with his award-winning poetry collection '36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem'. An unapologetic interrogation of what it means to be a part of a diaspora, Le took the much-coveted Book of the Year prize at last year's New South Wales Literary Awards Le's parents left Vietnam by boat as refugees when he was one year old, eventually settling in Melbourne - an experience he grappled with in the title story of his previous short story collection, 'The Boat'. He spoke to Kate about his upcoming trip to NZ to perform poetry as a part of WORD Christcurch early next month.

Hour 4: The NFL season is just around the corner, and the San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for their highly anticipated game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. But what's behind the Rams' decision to fly in and out of Melbourne in just 48 hours? This episode of the Murph and Marcus Show delves into the strategy behind the Rams' approach and how it compares to the 49ers' own plans. The 49ers are set to play their first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, and the Rams are taking a unique approach to prepare for their game against the 49ers. The Rams will fly into Australia the day before the game, spend a short time on the ground, and then fly out immediately after. This is a different strategy from the 49ers, who will be traveling to Australia eight to nine days early to acclimate to the weather and elevation. The question is, which approach will give the Rams an advantage in week one? The discussion also touches on the 49ers' frustration with the league's decision to grant the Rams' request to play in Australia, which means they'll be giving up a home game at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers' coach, Kyle Shanahan, has been vocal about his disappointment with the decision. Meanwhile, the Rams are taking a more relaxed approach, skipping out on media tours and other obligations. The conversation also explores the potential impact on the 49ers' home field advantage and the Rams' ability to adjust to the time difference. Tune in to this episode of the Murph and Marcus Show to hear the full discussion and get the inside scoop on the Rams' strategy and the 49ers' plans for their game in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Environmental journalist, Michael Dulaney looks at viruses and bacteria that can move between bats, horses, seals, pigs, voles and even polar bears, and the conditions that lead to human infection.These diseases are known as zoonoses.Michael says climate change, urban sprawl, animal farming and even homelessness contribute to wild animals coming into ever closer contact with people, leading these illnesses to move from creatures to us.To understand how this process works, Michael has researched the volunteers dedicating their lives to conservation. He has camped out on a freezing Victorian night to try to catch ducks with a net shot from a cannon, to test them for bird flu. He has gone frog hunting in the jungles of Indonesia, and he's visited a suburban Melbourne apartment where a dedicated citizen gives up her master bedroom to a collection of injured flying foxes, while she sleeps in the spare room.Michael also explains how the curious case of Trench Fever fits into the zoonotic puzzle. It was found first in Edmonton, Canada in 2022, when patients developed a serious heart condition after they were given organs donated by homeless victims of the opioid crisis.Further informationSentinels: When diseases spread between animals and humans is published by Scribe.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May 06, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves chronologically through ten of history's most frequently cited UFO encounters, opening with a 1947 debris field on a New Mexico ranch and closing with a 2004 Navy radar encounter off the California coast.In July 1947, rancher William "Mac" Brazel discovers unusual metallic debris scattered across the Foster homestead north of Roswell, New Mexico, and reports it to Sheriff George Wilcox, who alerts the Roswell Army Air Field. Intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel collects the material, and on July 8th the RAAF issues a press release announcing the recovery of a "flying disc." The story runs in newspapers nationwide before General Roger Ramey holds a press conference the next day identifying the debris as a weather balloon. The retraction does little to end the speculation; decades later, ufologists raise claims of recovered alien bodies and a government cover-up, and in 1994 the Air Force publishes "Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash," attributing the debris to the classified high-altitude balloon program Project Mogul.From there, the episode moves to April 6th, 1966, when more than two hundred students, teachers, and residents near Westall High School in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, Australia, watch a gray, saucer-shaped craft descend, hover for roughly twenty minutes, and shoot skyward at high speed after a second object appears to intercept it. Students who walk into the nearby field known as The Grange afterward find circular patches of flattened grass. Australian authorities attribute the sighting to a weather balloon, an explanation many witnesses reject, and researcher Shane Ryan later interviews dozens of them for the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery."Next comes the Pascagoula Abduction: shipyard coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker are fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi on the night of October 11th, 1973, when a whirring oval craft with flashing lights hovers roughly forty feet above them and three robotic, wrinkled-skinned beings pull them aboard for what they describe as a twenty-minute physical examination. The men report the encounter to the local sheriff's office, which secretly records their conversation while leaving them alone in a room, capturing Hickson's visible distress rather than any hint of a hoax. Both men pass polygraph tests and undergo hypnosis, and UFO researchers J. Allen Hynek and James Harder investigate the case and find no evidence of fabrication.A similar pattern surfaces three years later in Maine, where twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner and fellow art students Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz are camping on Eagle Lake in the Allagash wilderness in August 1976 when a glowing orb appears to follow their canoe. After Charlie Foltz signals it with a flashlight, the light expands and engulfs the group, and the men find themselves back at a campsite fire that has burned down to embers with no memory of the intervening time. Years later, recurring nightmares send the four men to psychiatrist and UFO researcher Dr. Raymond Fowler, whose hypnotic regression sessions produce matching accounts of grey-alien medical examinations aboard a craft, a story that eventually reaches national audiences through "Unsolved Mysteries" and multiple books.Military personnel take center
