    What Is Beyond Infinity?

    Piers chats with maths PHD and university lecturer Dr Ian Storey about the mind-bending concept of infinity. Some infinities are smaller than others. Some are minute, like the infinite density of a black hole, while the universe seems to be endless and enormous. We consider the role of science fiction in pushing the boundaries of science and can't help ourselves from applauding 'Project Hail Mary' and the Artemis mission to the moon.

    With Oil Spiking, Is It Time To Buy An EV?

    Piers talks with the former CEO of Wheels Media Andrew Beecher about the pros and cons of buying an electric vehicle. With war in the Middle East and prices at the bowser on the rise, now could be the time to make the switch. We consider the various angles: depreciation, associated costs, evolving battery tech, charging options and rebates.

    Not Investment Advice (from a Geek in the Business School)

    Piers is joined by mathematician and university lecturer Dr Ian Storey to discuss how lessons from business school on understanding risk can provide useful life lessons. Ian explains how fear of losing prevents many people from making a good bet and how success depends on a degree of risk. But risk is everywhere - from investing in equities to fixed income from bank deposits.

    [Political] Climate Changed

    Australia's Liberal-National Coalition partners have controversially abandoned their 'Net Zero' emissions policy in favour of a more balanced, pragmatic approach. This important distinction between ruling Labour government and conservative opposition is inspired by a newly released policy paper from the Page Research Centre. "Delivering a High Energy Australia" argues the net zero strategy is failing due to rising costs, industry decline, and environmental damage. It proposes a High Energy Australia approach that prioritizes lower energy prices, reduces emissions at a realistic pace and embraces all energy technologies, including nuclear, coal, and gas. Piers and Simon Mulvany offer their perspective.

    Footprints On The Moon

    With the transition to Block 3 Starship, a new paradigm of large scale launches is expected to kick off in 2026. The pace is picking up for humanity's return to Earth's nearest satellite. In October '25, Spacex released details of what's been achieved so far with Starship integrated flight test launches 1 to 11. The update relates specifically to NASA's Artemis program, for which SpaceX is a prime contractor. The plan is to establish a moon base, with the South Pole area a prime target given its resources. At long last, after a hiatus of more than 50 years, the time approaches to follow on from Neil Armstrong's legacy and leave new human footprints in the lunar regolith.

    On The March: The Alarming Spread Of Invasive Species In Australia

    Piers and bee-keeper activist Simon Mulvany dive into the spread of invasive species around the continent. We explore the devastating impact of the Varroa mite on bee populations, the algal blooms poisoning South Australia's coastline and the devastation of century old trees in Perth by the shot hole borer. There is now an urgent need for action to protect our unique and fragile ecosystems.
