This week on Backchat we're chatting all things country music. Have you suddenly got friends who are sending you country songs? Seeing it around social media? We dive into why country music is having its moment right now with producer Dani Zhang.  We're also joined by the Coalition of Aboriginal Peak Organisations to hear about their new partnership agreement with the state government, focused on closing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage. And earlier this week our producer Euan spoke to Phillipe Jacquot from the University of Sydney about how trending buzzwords from fitness influencers are conning consumers.  This episode of Backchat aired 17th Feb 2024. This episode was hosted by Holly Payne and Bec Cushway, produced by Dani Zhang, Nic Huntington, and Euan Kielly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Backchat, producer Nic Huntington examines the hole in pothole funding. Nic chatted to Natasha Bradshaw, Senior Associate of Transport and Cities Program at the Grattan Institute, about how the increase in holes isn't resulting in an increase in funding.  Next, we take a look at some of the arrests from the ZIM and climate protests in the past week. We chat to Anastasia from Legal Observers NSW about what Legal Observers NSW has been seeing at these protests, and what your rights are when talking to police. Finaly, with World AIDS Day on December 1st, and the 2023 Nurse of the Year awarded last week, Backchat chats to joint winner John McAllister. With a career spanning over 40 years in HIV and sexual health, we celebrate his contribution to the Sydney community.

This episode of Backchat comes to you following a difficult week; both in Australia and around the world. It's been one week since Australia voted No to constitutional recognition of First Nations people via an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. It's fair to say this has been a tough period for Indigenous people, with many choosing to take a step back to mourn. Others, however, are driven to continue the conversation as First Nations communities and broader Australia alike try to plot the steps post-referendum. Phoebe McIlwraith is a Bundjalung and Worri-my Saltwater woman based on Gadi/Wann Country. She's a multi-disciplinary Koori creative keen to keep Indigenous voices front and centre right now and you'll be hearing her thoughts on the next steps for First Nations people and broader austraia alike.   Next, the world is watching on in horror as war intensifies in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza. But how much do you know about the roots of this conflict? There has been a lot of context missing both from media reports and political responses to the ongoing situation in Israel and Palestine since this conflict began. So, for the background that you're not hearing anywhere else, you'll be hearing a report from Backchat producer Eamonn Snow. After that, we'll have an interview with Lydia Shelley from the NSW Council of Civil Liberties on the situation in Gaza and the right to protest here in NSW.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Nic Huntington, Tanita Razaghi, Sana Shaikh and Eamonn Snow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's an historic day as Australians head to the polls to vote in our first referendum since 1999. Today on Backchat, we'll be covering the vote from all angles. First up, if you're still unsure on how today works or what is being asked of you, we'll be going over some of the nitty gritty details of how referendums work and how to make sure your vote counts. Next, we'll be crossing to our reporters Sana and Nic who are on the ground at polling stations in Burwood and Redfern, respectively. They'll be sharing conversations they have had with voters and conveying the mood of the moment. Finally, to unpack the significance of today and what comes next, we'll be joined later by Phoebe McIlwraith, a Bundjalung and Worimi Saltwater woman based on Gadi/Wann Country. She's a multi-disciplinary Koori creative with a background in policy, political economy and law at the University of Newcastle.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Holly Payne, Sana Shaikh, Nic Huntington, Tanita Razaghi, Jostina Basta and Eamonn Snow.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(aired 22/07/2023) - This week on Backchat, we're kicking things off with an explanation of the latest phenomenon borne from social media - Girl Dinner. You may have seen it bumping around your socials feed, but what does this tell us about gender roles in 2023? Our host Tanita Razaghi is leading this explanation with help from producer Libby. Next, we're exploring Bush to Bowl - a social enterprise aimed at creating a healing space & platform through First Nations knowledge, by connecting to country and their traditional foodways - providing experiences near Terry Hills. One of the founders of Bush to Bowl, Clarence Bruinsma, is on the line to unpack his work. Finally, egg freezing has entered the mainstream - taking centre stage on social media as females take to the apps to share their experience. But is this really productive or just adding to pressure women already feel about their bodies and life more broadly? Backchat producer Libby Hopper got chatting with fertility specialist Dr Giselle Crawford and finfluencer, Jessica Leung from the leung way to crack into it.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Tanita Razaghi, Nic Huntington, Libby Hopper Jostina Basta, and Eamonn Snow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(aired 29/07/2023 - Bushfire season is upon us, and this week on Backchat we'll get started with a look at our preparedness. Outgoing Backchat producer Matt Le Guay will be in the hot seat to unpack how we're tracking and how much Indigenous cultural cool burning practices have been incorporated into our preparation. Next up - cash looks to eb going the way of the Dodo, but do we really understand what a totally cashless society would mean? You'll be hearing from Swinburne Uni's professor Steve Worthington and Ronald Mizen from the Australian Financial Review as they try to answer some of these questions. Finally - most of us watch or have watched porn. How much thought have you given to the ethics of the porn you consume? Sydney Uni has just released the results from a landmark global study examining the ethics of pornography, and we'll be diving into that research and the world of ethical porn via a report from Backchat reporter Nic Huntington.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Matt Le Guay, Sana Shaikh, Nic Huntington and Eamonn Snow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(aired 19/08/2023) - Matildas fever opens this episode of Backchat. How could it not? There's something about The Matildas that has really struck a chord this year, and we'll be taking a few minutes with our own Holly Payne to unpack some of the history behind the team, the records that they've broken over the last few weeks and have a guess as to what the future holds. Next up, we're jumping back into YIMBY/NIMBY land after New research from Western Sydney university has shown the NIMBY approach to housing development has had direct impacts on minority groups across Sydney, especially Western Sydney. Western Sydney urban planning researcher, Dr Awais Piracha will join us to break down his latest research. Finally, Do you feel like buses in Sydney getting later and later? Well you're not wrong. This week the Bus Industry Taskforce, which is a group the government put together to make recommendations to improve bus services across NSW, released its first report. And it was a damning one. David Babineau - Tram and Bus Division Secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union will join us to unpack this new report and what solutions are being considered.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Nic Huntington, Sana Shaikh, Jostina Basta and Eamonn Snow.   And an even bigger thanks to Matt Le Guay. Matt has been one of the pros behind Backchat's social media content and today is his last show with us. Thank you Matt!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(aired 16/09/2023) - This week on Backchat, we get moving with a dive into the news the Macquarie Bank will be going cashless at branches from next year. We'll break down what this will mean and who will be impacted. Next, we're peering into a campaign to stop a sewage pump station being built at Parlsey Bay in Vaucluse. Residents say it'll destroy wildlife, while Sydney water says its needed to solve a serious sewage issue. Finally, we return to the Waterloo public housing redevelopment for a special report. Plans to demolish and redevelop the area have dragged on for two decades now with residents the clear losers.   This episode of Backchat was produced by Sana Shaikh, Hollly Payne, Nic Huntington and Eamonn Snow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki Kundu. Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network. Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. It's always daunting walking into any space where you don't know anybody. Despite being a journalist for a quarter of my life, I still struggle with this, no matter how many emails I've sent. For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front of me as the stars set. On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward introductions to the constantly expanding roster of characters.  But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story was going to turn out.  This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding when the time was right to record. I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure SM58, but I can live with that. Special Thanks Rhianna Patrick Diane Djaki Widjung Wit-Boooka Credits “Little Things” feat.
