Episode Overview What if the stories we watch could help rebuild the social fabric? In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Tyler — co-founder and CEO of good.film, a platform using film and television as a catalyst for connection, empathy and real conversation. With declining social cohesion, rising loneliness and increasing polarisation across Western democracies, Elizabeth believes film offers something we desperately need: a shared narrative space where we can explore complexity together — not through debate, but through emotion, curiosity and story. Elizabeth's career began far from entertainment. From early student activism at UTS, to working on one of Tasmania's most consequential political campaigns, to shaping creative-led advocacy for major nonprofits, her path has always centred on one thing: bringing people together around a vision of what's possible. Today, through good.film, she's building a new category she calls Impact Entertainment — ambitious stories (from blockbusters to indie documentaries) that reveal something meaningful about the world, and help us see one another more fully. We explore how she's turned this mission into a business model, the hidden work of rebuilding social trust, and why film is uniquely positioned to spark the conversations we're no longer having. In This Episode We Explore: Why Elizabeth believes love has to be the starting point for meaningful changemaking – whether it's love of your work, your collaborators, or even those you're “working against”. The fundamental truth that sits under good.film: that stories move us emotionally first – and emotion is what opens us up to new perspectives. How good.film works in practice: from their “impact entertainment” category and recommendation platform, to partnerships with cinemas where every ticket purchased through good.film also donates to a cause. Elizabeth's experience in the Tech Ready Women program, and a gorgeous story about a stranger at a pitching event who changed her trajectory with one handwritten note. Her personal journey from priding herself on not needing help… to intentionally building an advisory board and a community where asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. And her bigger vision: a future where once a month, most of us head to our local cinema – alone or with friends – to watch ambitious stories together and have the kinds of rich, complex conversations we can't have in a comments thread. Across each of these threads runs a single question: how do we rebuild meaningful connection in a fractured world? This is a conversation for anyone feeling the fractures — and looking for hopeful, human ways to stitch connection back together. About Elizabeth Tyler Elizabeth Tyler is the co-founder and CEO of good.film, a platform bringing people back together through film and television. With a mission to counter declining social cohesion, loneliness and political polarisation, good.film curates ambitious stories — from blockbusters to Oscar winners to indie documentaries — and builds community around the conversations those stories spark. Elizabeth's career began in politics, where she worked on two successful election campaigns and served as an adviser to a Tasmanian Member of Parliament. She later led creative-led advocacy campaigns as Strategic Director at the Motion Picture Company, working with major charities across Australia. Internationally, she has contributed to global environmental politics through the Global Greens, supporting more than 100 Green parties worldwide. She holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson, where she was awarded the Cockrum Fellowship for social change and the Wolfen Fellowship for entrepreneurship. Her leadership philosophy centres on creating community, naming a bold vision, and reverse-engineering it into practical, scalable outcomes.

To break down the recent news that Melbourne University Press is closing Meanjin, Australia’s second-oldest literary journal, Holly explains why this is about much more than just finances or literary snobbery. A major conversation is unfolding in New South Wales following the state’s first drug summit in 25 years, with growing calls to reform driving laws for medical cannabis users. To unpack the issue, MP Alex Greenwich joined hosts Holly and Eva on the show. The theme of this year's National Child Protection Week, was “shifting conversation into action.” One conversation gaining momentum is the Albanese government’s social media ban for under-16s, aimed at protecting kids online. Discussing the proposal and its potential impact, senior lecturer in digital and social media at UTS, Paul Byron, joined the show. The long-running debate over shark nets has reignited after a fatal shark attack on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. In response, the NSW government has paused a planned trial to remove nets from certain beaches. To explore the controversy and whether shark nets really keep swimmers safe, our producer Olivia takes a closer look. This episode of Backchat was hosted by Holly Payne and Eva Sikes-Gerogiannis, and produced by Bec Cushway, Holly Payne, Elise Papaioannou, Jaspar McCahon-Boersma and Olivia Nunes-Malek.

While many law students may hesitate to approach experienced professionals, Kurt Cheng encourages them to take that step, emphasising that the right guidance can accelerate both career development and personal growth. Speaking on a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Kurt Cheng, a law graduate at Ashurst and a global ambassador at UTS, where he shares what drives his passion for early-career mentoring, emphasises why it is crucial never to overlook the value anyone can bring to your journey, and explains why meaningful mentoring extends far beyond a one-off coffee catch-up – it's a relationship that requires time and genuine effort to nurture. Cheng also reflects on how empowering and transformative a mentor can be for both personal and professional growth, highlights the importance of choosing a mentor whose journey aligns with your own career path, offers practical strategies for law students looking to connect with the right people, and reflects on his own role as a mentor – highlighting just how rewarding and transformative these relationships can be.

For some years, there have been suggestions that in the 1860s Tom Wills, Australia's first sports hero and the founder of the AFL, may have taken part in the massacres of Gayiri people in Central Queensland. Now, in a Guardian Australia investigation, Indigenous Affairs reporter Ella Archibald-Binge travels in search of the truth behind the allegations. In this two part special Full Story, she and Lorena Allam from UTS's Jumbunna Institute discuss how families on both sides of the conflict are reckoning with the truth of their ancestors' colonial past Warning: This episode contains historical records that use racist and offensive language, and descriptions of events that will be distressing to some.

Colonial pastoralist Major Logue is a figure of note in the city of Geraldton, Western Australia. But his diaries, written partly in code, reveal a dark and confronting chapter of Australia's past – a history that Yamatji people already know all too well. Descendants of some perpetrator families are now challenging what they call ‘colonial silence'. For them, truth-telling is real, personal and local. There are no guidelines or rulebooks, and it can lead to denial and indifference – but it can also be a liberation. In this two-part special Full Story, Guardian Australia's Indigenous affairs reporter Sarah Collard and Lorena Allam from UTS's Jumbunna Institute discuss decoding the truth behind Logue's diaries, and how descendants of colonial violence are coming together to heal from the horrors of the past Warning: This episode contains historical records that use racist and offensive language, and descriptions of events that will be distressing to some

Çevre araştırmacıları, yapay tatlandırıcılar konusunda daha dikkatli olunması çağrısı yapıyor. Dünyanın dört bir yanındaki çevre ve su yollarında biriken yapay tatlandırıcılara karşı yasal düzenleme yapılmasını istiyorlar.

Milieuonderzoekers pleiten voor meer aandacht en mogelijke regulering van kunstmatige zoetstoffen, omdat deze zich wereldwijd ophopen in het milieu en waterwegen. Uit een nieuwe studie van UTS - de Technische Universiteit van Sydney - blijkt dat veel gebruikte suikervervangers niet afbreken en veranderen in 'eeuwige chemicaliën'. De potentiële schade die deze stoffen kunnen aanbrengen aan dieren en het ecosysteem zijn vergelijkbaar met P-FAS.

In this episode of the Technology & Security podcast, Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Professor Edward Santow, former Australian Human Rights Commissioner and co-director of the Human Technology Institute at UTS. The conversation is a candid exploration of Australia's evolving AI landscape, diving into why Australians remain sceptical of AI despite being early adopters, and how trust in technology must be earned—not demanded—through transparency, robust safeguards, and practical engagement with both risks and opportunities. Professor Santow shares insights from his recent book, "Machines in Our Image," reflecting on the dual nature of AI: its power to enhance inclusion and accessibility, but also causing real harm.

Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss warnings about Iranian cyber attacks on US critical infrastructure. Despite many many warnings, there have been no actual attacks and they discuss the reasons why Iran would want to avoid escalatory cyber attacks. They also talk about how the FBI is struggling to deal with the democratisation of surveillance and data analysis, what the agency calls Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS). A Department of Justice audit of the FBI's response finds the threat from UTS is real and that sources have been murdered. But it seems that the FBI just doesn't care.

How often do you use AI chatbots?  They're becoming part of our everyday lives. But when you pump in a question into something like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, do you ever think about the energy it uses? Today, Gordon Noble from the Institute of Sustainable Futures at UTS on the power hungry data centres driving AI, the water used to keep them cool and the cost for the environment. Featured: Gordon Noble, research director at the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney

I'm joined by Dr. Heather Ford, ARC Future Fellow and Professor in the School of Communications at UTS, to explore the fascinating world of Wikipedia. Inspired by her article “We analysed 35,000 Wikipedia entries about Australian places. Some of them sanitise history” in The Conversation, we dive deep into the strengths and shortcomings of one of the internet's most beloved resources. We unpack how Wikipedia works behind the scenes: who edits it, how “edit wars” break out, and why it remains such a radical platform — a place where history can be written in real time, sometimes even before events unfold. Together, we question whether Wikipedia offers an honest account of Australia's past, particularly when it comes to Indigenous history. This is a two-parter so be sure to tune in next week for part 2. Connect with Dr. Heather Ford on Linkedin https://hblog.org/
