Nevena, Macca and Paul are joined live on air by Josh Cox, an Olive Albino Python and a Barking Owl. Josh's philosophy is simple. ‘As a a society we are disconnected from nature. The advent of technology has changed the way we live, it has changed the way we interact, and it has jammed a wedge between us and nature'. ‘Children, from the time they are born, are now inundated with technology. It has gone well beyond the 30 minutes of watching Playschool that was the norm a generation ago. As we've become increasingly disconnected from our world and nature, the state of the planet has declined at quite a rapid rate. The threat of climate change is at our door. We are on the precipice of a mass extinction. If as a society we are disconnected from nature, we are not going to have the impetus to want to protect the planet'. Josh goes on to say, ‘I started Reptile Encounters because I want to give students the chance to connect with nature. I believe that people need to have that ‘inspire' moment to be able to make the connection for themselves. By meeting animals in the flesh we engender a respect for our environment and equip students to make a difference!' Open to the public by appointment ONLY! Reptile Encounters was founded in 2007 and is now in its 17th year of operation. Founder Josh Cox has had a lifelong love of Australian wildlife and was keen to have his own business and share his passion with the public. Initially, Reptile Encounters began with Josh as the sole presenter of reptile shows and a small collection of animals. He operated from home, and the majority of his business was weekend birthday parties. However it wasn't long before schools began enquiring and the focus of the business has gradually shifted. Josh quit his pharmaceutical sales job in 2009 to run Reptile Encounters full time and is now offering reptile parties for kids, corporate events & team building activities.

Nevena and Paul talk to Gavin Macleod, Executive Creative Director, Emotive; Bold New Safe Sex Campaign from Four Seasons Naked Condoms Sydney, 12th May, 2026. STI rates are rising among young Australians, but the message about safe sex isn't getting through. Now, Four Seasons Naked Condoms is taking a radically different approach, launching a bold new campaign that turns the risks of unprotected sex into giant, cinematic monsters designed to be impossible to ignore. As a heritage brand in Australia for decades, Four Seasons Condoms is on a mission to make the conversation around protection more approachable for Gen Z. According to data from the Kirby Institute, Australia recorded more than 101,000 chlamydia cases in 2024, with around half among people aged 20–29, alongside rising rates of gonorrhoea. At the same time, research from La Trobe University shows condom use among young Australians is declining, with more than half not using one the last time they had sex. “In general practice we see young patients presenting with sexually transmitted infections every single day” said Dr Lucy Herron, GP at Coogee Beach Doctors. “Chlamydia is very common and is a particular worry as it often has no symptoms but can cause a serious infection and even infertility if not detected early. Others, like gonorrhoea and syphilis, are unfortunately much more common than they were a few years ago. Really common infections like herpes have no cure at all, and can lead to annoying symptoms like irritation and pain, which can come and go for the rest of your life.” Instead of traditional health messaging, the campaign uses humour and spectacle to bring those risks to life. The hero film begins with an intimate moment between two young adults, where a decision not to use a condom quickly spirals into chaos. A giant baby crashes through the city, followed by grotesque STI creatures representing gonorrhoea, chlamydia and syphilis tearing through streets and buildings, turning abstract risks into something visible and confronting. “STI rates are rising, and traditional messaging isn't cutting through,” said Michael Porter, Director at Four Seasons Condoms. “We wanted to create something people would actually watch and talk about, using entertainment to make the risks feel real.” Women's health advocate Grace Toombs and founder of Hey June Health said the approach reflects how younger audiences engage with the topic. “Sexual health shouldn't feel awkward or taboo, but a lot of messaging still does. When you approach it through humour and culture, it opens the door for more honest conversations.” AI filmmaking techniques were used to create the cinematic scale and surreal characters, bringing the concept to life in a way that would traditionally require blockbuster-level production. The campaign rolls out nationally across Snapchat, supported by social and creator-led amplification and was created by independent creative agency Emotive in partnership with AI film production specialists, AiCandy Australia.

Nevena and Paul talk to Joe Ball – Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Update on IDAHOBIT Weekend May 17 marks the date in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases. Over three decades later, LGBTQIA+ communities still face discrimination – but every one of us can make a difference. Will you stand against discrimination? A worldwide celebration of gender and sexual diversities and a call to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community to fight discrimination. The first Mardi Gras pride march was held in Sydney in 1978, which was met with violence from police. Those who marched were beaten inside police cells and had their names published by the Sydney Morning Herald. Tasmania was the last jurisdiction in Australia to decriminalise homosexuality in May 1997. The majority of Australians today were alive during a time when it was illegal to be gay. The Marriage Equality plebiscite was held in 2017. While marriage equality was passed, 38.4% of Australians who voted (4.8 million people) voted against it. The first IDAHOBIT was held in 2005 and is today acknowledged by millions of people globally. While IDAHOBIT has evolved over these years, the purpose remains the same – celebrate the progress we have made while also raising awareness for the discrimination that LGBTQIA+ people still face today. Joe Ball was appointed as Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities on 23 September 2024 for a three-year term. Commissioner Ball (he/him) is a proud transgender man. He is a longstanding LGBTIQA+ advocate with a 25-year career in disability, housing and homelessness, and social services. Commissioner Ball is a member of the Expert Advisory Group for the Federal Government's 10-Year LGBTIQ+ Health and Wellbeing Plan. He has previously participated in several leading social service advisory committees and boards. This includes the Victorian Family Violence peak body Safe and Equal, the Community Advisory Committee for 1800RESPECT, the Victorian LGBTIQA+ Taskforce, the Victorian Family Violence Reform Advisory Group, and the National Suicide Prevention Governance Committee. Joe was previously CEO of Switchboard Victoria for eight years, where he led the establishment of Rainbow Door, the statewide LGBTIQA+ family violence and mental health helpline. Throughout his expansive career, Joe has drawn upon the strength and guidance of LGBTIQA+ history and most importantly, the work of activists who have paved the way, the courageous voices with lived experience and the wisdom of LGBTIQA+ elders. In 2020, Joe was honoured as an award recipient in the 50 Outstanding LGBTI+ Leaders in Australia.

Macca, Nevena and Misha discuss this issue with Josh. https://theconversation.com/to-protect-australians-the-federal-parliament-must-push-albanese-on-gambling-reforms-281641 Australia has historically taken a lax approach to gambling reform, and it shows. A 2024 Grattan Institute report shows we have the highest gambling losses in the world per capita. Australians collectively lost more than $32 billion gambling in 2023-24, half of it on the pokies. And our losses per person have grown almost every year since reporting began in 1975. Pokies and online betting are particularly addictive, leading to serious harm for hundreds of thousands of Australians. The Murphy inquiry was focused on online gambling harm and identified gambling advertising as a major culprit. Gambling advertising exposes large numbers of Australians, including children, to a dangerous product and increases losses, with little corresponding economic or social benefit.

COSMIC CAROUSEL #61 w/ Nevena Stankovic by RADIO.D59B

Nevena is back in the hosting seat this week with long time friend of the show John Safran as they discuss the news, views, reviews of the week that was and what’s coming up in this week’s programme. Nevena Spirovska and Australian satirist/author John Safran are co-hosts on the Saturday Magazine program on JOY 94.9, covering news, politics, and culture. They have appeared together for weekly wrap-ups and special segments, with John providing his signature humorous commentary on social issue The post Sat, 21st March, 2026: Weekly Wrap Up with Nevena and John Safran appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

First up this week we have Peter Khalil – MP for Wills & Asst Min. for Defence; Nevena and John discuss with Peter, where  Where are things heading with Iran?  Are facing a 70’s style fuel crisis? And some updates from his electorate. As of March 2026, Peter Khalil, the MP for Wills and Assistant Minister for Defence, views the situation with Iran as extremely volatile, characterized by aggressive actions from the Iranian regime, including attacks on regional neighbours and the targeting of civilian. Khalil has emphasized that Iran is a “destabilising force” through its missile programs, support for proxies, and acts of intimidation. In his role as Assistant Minister for Defence, he noted that Australia has provided defensive support to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) against missile attacks, including deploying E-7A Wedgetail aircraft and air-to-air missiles. Khalil has defended Australia's involvement in the Middle East, stating it is “purely defensive” to protect lives and not an act of aggressive war, while acknowledging the conflict is a “fluid dynamic”. Khalil has strongly condemned the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for attempting to harm Australian citizens and engaging in acts of violence. He has supported designating the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. He has expressed solidarity with the Iranian-Australian community in Melbourne and their anxiety for families in Iran, noting his hope for a shift away from the “oppressive” Iranian regime. Regarding demands for further military involvement, Khalil has stated he is not aware of a specific request for Australian warships to assist in the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining that operational decisions are made by the National Security Committee. Khalil's position aligns with the broader Australian government stance, which involves implementing targeted sanctions against the Iranian regime and supporting diplomatic pressure against its actions.

Nevena and John are joined live on air by Bill Shorten, the current Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Canberra (UC). He assumed the role on 14 February 2025, following a 17-year career in federal politics. The Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme, reporting in July 2023, delivered a damning assessment of the former Coalition government's automated debt recovery program, describing it as a “shameful,” “crude and cruel” mechanism that was neither fair nor legal. As Minister for Government Services, Shorten played a central role in driving the inquiry and pursuing accountability, labelling it a “war on the poor” and a massive failure in public administration. Bill Shorten was a leading figure in the push for the Royal Commission, promising the investigation while in opposition and subsequently managing the government’s response to the findings.   In August 2023, Shorten moved a motion in the House of Representatives to accept the report’s findings, expressing deep regret and apologizing to victims and frontline Centrelink staff.  Shorten accused the previous government of “gaslighting” victims and the public by defending the scheme even after its illegality became known. Shorten has consistently criticised opposition leader Peter Dutton for a “deafening” lack of remorse and for defending former colleagues involved in the scheme.  Following the report, Shorten announced the government's acceptance of all 57 recommendations, focusing on ending the use of external debt collectors and strengthening the public service. Shorten has continued to urge for the “sealed section” of the report to be unsealed to ensure transparency, arguing it is not sustainable for it to remain secret forever.  Legal and Financial Fallout In 2021, the Federal Court approved a final settlement of $1.8 billion, which involved dropping debt claims and refunding unlawful debts. As of 2025, a new settlement, deemed the largest in Australian legal history at $548.5 million, is under consideration to provide further compensation, with NACC investigations into the referrals ongoing.  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-11/anti-corruption-investigation-into-robodebt-findings/106440278 The post Sat, 21st March, 2026: Prof the Hon Bill Shorten, Vice -Chancellor & President Uni of Canberra, Robodebt, NACC Investigations and Findings appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

Nevena and John talk to Chris Doyle, Assistant Professor, Medieval History in the School of History and Philosophy at the University of Galway, about the mystery of the ‘second’ Saint Patrick. Chris Doyle is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer Above the Bar) in Medieval History in the School of History and Philosophy at the University of Galway. His interests are varied and include the cultural and social history and material culture of early medieval Ireland, Europe, North Africa and the Near East. https://theconversation.com/saint-patricks-day-and-the-mystery-of-the-second-patrick-277404 “Celebrated every year with swathes of green and pints of Guinness, Saint Patrick is the most famous of Ireland's trio of patron saints (the others are Brigid and Colm Cille, aka Columba). Saint Patrick's story is well known. Not just because of the annual global phenomenon his feast day has become, but also thanks to a considerable body of original written evidence. Chief among this are his personal writings – the Confession and Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus. But there are also many others – annals, biographies, hymns, poems – written centuries after his lifetime”. “One of the earliest references to two Patricks is Saint Fiacc's Hymn on the Life of Patrick. It was written in the 5th or 6th century but survives in an 8th-century manuscript. Fiacc, a professional royal poet turned bishop, wrote: “When Patrick departed [died], he went to visit the other Patrick and together they ascended to Jesus Son of Mary.” The post Sat, 21st March, 2026: The Mystery of the Second, St. Patrick, Chris Doyle, Asst.

Guy Morrow is an Associate Professor of Arts and Cultural Management at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His research interests include artist‑centred approaches to cultural management and the impact of digitalisation, datafication and artificial intelligence on music artists within music ecosystems. His work combines academic rigour with arts sector collaboration to develop actionable insights for artists, managers and cultural organisations. He is also the current president of the International Music Business Research Association (IMBRA). Guy’s current contract research project is examining digital platform interactions to assess the performance of Australian artists on Spotify’s algorithmic playlists for the Victorian Music Development Office. One of his previous research contracts explored the shifting ground beneath music artist manager remuneration for the Association of Artist Managers in Australia while another developed an impact framework for the Science Gallery Network. Guy is also part of a project that has received AU$100,000 in proof-of-concept funding from Research, Innovation and Commercialisation at the University of Melbourne, ArtCert, which is developing an innovative response to shortcomings in current artwork authentication practices.

Guy also has a vast record of achievement in the creative and cultural industries and has worked with many of Australia’s best-known musicians within various popular music scenes through direct management, and also through music and design work. Guy was the founding co-manager of the band Boy & Bear and in this capacity received five Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Awards, as well as Gold and Platinum Awards from ARIA. https://theconversation.com/is-spotifys-ai-killing-australian-music-what-we-found-from-analysing-more-than-2-million-tracks-276984 “The objective of streaming platforms is to maximise user engagement. Spotify does this by allowing users to discover new music in various ways, including through manual search and exploration, editorial (human-made) playlists, and AI-recommended playlists. Algorithms have been criticised for amplifying the influence of superstars – and the corporate interests that support them – while also potentially narrowing listeners' musical preferences. Spotify's AI does have a significant influence on the listening habits of its subscribers. But is this a problem?” The post Sat, 21st March, 2026: Guy Morrow, Assoc Prof, Arts & Cultural Management, Uni of Meb, Is Spotify's AI ‘killing' Australian Music? appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

After being abandoned by his mother and rejected by the rest of his troop, his zookeepers at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan provided Punch with an orangutan plushie as a stand-in mother. Videos of the monkey clinging to the toy have gone viral worldwide” “But Punch's attachment to his inanimate companion is not just the subject of a heartbreaking video. It also harks back to the story of a famous set of psychology experiments conducted in the 1950s by US researcher Harry Harlow. The findings from his experiments underpin many of the central tenets of attachment theory, which positions the bond between parent and child as crucial in child development. What were Harlow's experiments? Harlow took rhesus monkeys from birth, and removed them from their mothers. These monkeys were raised in an enclosure in which they had access to two surrogate “mothers”. A viral monkey, his plushie, and a 70-year-old experiment: what Punch tells us about attachment theory Mark joined the School of Psychology in 2002 as a UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellow after completing his PhD at La Trobe University.
