What is a Good Life, Victorian Labour's Housing Plan, Gas-Free Homes and Social Media Citizen Journalism

Monday, 23 October 2023 - 7:00am to 8:30am

To start off the show, Grace spoke with Oscar Davis, Associate Professor of Philosophy and History at Bond University, discussing what makes a good life, and the concept of existentialism. 

Next, Rob interviews Harry Millward, a general delegate of the Renters and Housing Union, about Victorian Labour's Housing Plan and what it means for the state's housing crisis. 

The team then revisits a conversation from 3CR's Dirt Radio, where Claud Gallois spoke to Friends of the Earth's No New Gas campaigner Freja Leonard about how renters deserve to have gas-free homes, and how to make it happen.

Finally, Grace and James talk to Dr Jay Daniel Thompson, lecturer in professional communication at RMIT University, discussing the growing trend of people turning to social media influencers for information, and how can we ensure ethical online communication in today's social media world.
