This week's stories call on us to humble ourselves before nature…and consider whether maybe …there are some things that animals know that we don’t. The Great Dingo Debate by Andrea Dixon In our first story, Andrea shares her love for Taz, a rescued dingo living on her family’s property in Hawkesbury, Darug country. As tensions rise between farmers, conservationists, and First Nations communities, the dingo emerges as a symbol of both conflict and kinship. Through cultural advocacy and calls for legislative change, Andrea and many others envision a future of respectful coexistence with dingoes. ‘Wild is not something to be feared’. This story featured Steve Trist, Djirabitty: www.djirabittyptyltd.com.au Sonya Takau, Dingo Culture/Defend the Wild: https://www.dingoculture.com/ | www.defendthewild.org | (IG) @dingoculture |(IG) @defendthewild To learn more about the parliamentary inquiry into dingo management, NSW visit: defendthewild.org/dingo-inquiry-nsw The producer was Andrea Dixon.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 06Formation of Pluto-Charon Binary SystemA new study reveals that the formation of the Pluto-Charon dwarf planet binary system may mirror that of the Earth-Moon system. The research, published in Nature Geoscience, suggests that both systems feature a secondary body significantly large in comparison to the primary, unlike other moons in our solar system. The findings could explain Pluto's active geology and potential subsurface ocean, highlighting the significance of giant impacts in shaping planetary bodies.BepiColombo's Final Mercury FlybyThe BepiColombo spacecraft has completed its final close flyby of Mercury, passing just 295 kilometres above the planet's surface. This manoeuvre marks the last gravity assist required for the joint ESA and JAXA mission before it enters Mercury's orbit in late 2026. The mission aims to study Mercury's magnetic field, surface composition, and interaction with the solar wind, enhancing our understanding of planets close to their host stars.Astronomy Highlights for 20252025 promises exciting astronomical events, with the Sun's solar cycle nearing its peak. Highlights include a rare edge-on view of Saturn's rings, potential brightening of comet G3 Atlas, and two lunar eclipses.

Hello this is Overdrive a program with an infatuation about trains, planes and automobiles. I'm David Brown The times each story appears in the program are noted (mm:ss) Powerhouse opening of exhibition. I went to the opening night of the Powerhouse Museum's “1001 remarkable objects” In amongst items of haute couture and jewellery, however, was a 1917 Detroit Electric car that came to Australia and was used for 30 years. The evolution of Triumphs The difference less than 20 years can make in car design as shown in this picture. The car at the back is a Triumph TR2 (Built, I believe, between 1953 and 1955. Was there ever a TR1?). The car at the front is a GT6 Mk III (GT6 built between 1966–1973). Book Review (Sort of) A colleague received this book ‘Car Dealers and Other “honourable” professions' in the hope that he might promote it. My colleague felt that it was too raunchy for his audience. The best-looking Holden Monaro Holden produced the HQ Sedan in the early 70s. They continued the trend they started in 1967 of making a 2 door coupe based on their family sedan.

From musical borrowings and dance moves, to clothing, art and stories, it's time to talk about where to draw the line between legitimate cultural exchange and damaging cultural appropriation. As we see more clearly how power shapes culture, the relationships between artistic freedom and protecting culture is shifting rapidly.  It's time for a bigger discussion about who owns culture, who's stealing it, who is entitled to borrow, and how to pay a fair price. Daniel Browning is an Aboriginal journalist, radio broadcaster, documentary maker, sound artist and writer.  Corrie Chen is an award-winning filmmaker and a highly sought after television director.  Coby Edgar is a Larrakia, Jingili, Anglo, Filipino, queer, cis-woman from Darwin. She is currently the curator of Strategic Projects, First Nations at the Powerhouse Museum and has worked in the arts industry for over a decade. Luara Ferracioli is Senior Lecturer in Political Philosophy at the University of Sydney.        

The Australian art scene has dramatically evolved over the past decade. A place that was once seen as belonging to wealthy collectors has opened up to absolutely anyone who is interested and inspired. ‘Front page news', once dedicated to sport, has recognised the important place of art in our everyday lives.  Kym Elphinstone is the Founder and CEO of Articulate, Australia's leading communications consultancy for culture and the arts. She's represented many of Australia's biggest cultural institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, Carriageworks and the Powerhouse Museum through to more than 12 temporary public art projects for John Kaldor as well as grass-roots festivals and art fairs platforming emerging artists. She's had a major impact on the profile of the arts in this country.  She cites her background in law as a formative experience but one that didn't offer the creativity she yearned for. In London in the early 2000s, she realised she needed to pursue her first love: the arts. After moving to Sydney, she soon took up a role at the MCA, and a few years later found herself starting her own business with the Biennale of Sydney as her first client.  Listen in as Vince and Kym discuss the difference between art and design, why it's important to only work with people and on projects you believe in, and public art as placemaking.  https://articulatepr.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Power of Ten is a podcast hosted by Andy Polaine about design operating at many levels, zooming out from thoughtful detail through to organisational transformation and on to changes in society and the world. My guest in this episode is Seb Chan, Chief Experience Officer at ACMI - the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne - championing human centred design approaches across the museum. Prior to ACMI, Seb led the digital renewal and transformation of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York (2011–15) and the Powerhouse Museum's pioneering work in open access, mass collaboration and digital experience during the 2000s.
