    Anna Stewart on being a captain of one of the biggest games of the year

    For 31 years, there has been a rivalry – drawing on a divide so inherent and base – that it pits mate against mate. We’re not talking about State of Origin, we’re talking about the Reclink Community Cup. The football contest began in Melbourne, but is now held in cities across the country – with the Rockdogs, a team of not-so-athletic musicians, taking on the Megahertz, a band of various music media personalities. The winner claims the bragging rights. Today, 2024 co-captain of the Rockdogs Anna Stewart will read her story, ‘Reclink Community Cup’.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Digital content assistant, musician and 2024 co-captain of the Rockdogs Anna Stewart.

But that could be about to change, as a group of Australian researchers are part of our most promising effort yet to uncover the nature of this unseen force Today, Atticus Bastow will read his piece, ‘The search for dark matter’ from The Saturday Paper.

    Elmo Keep on the insane spectacle of U2 at the Las Vegas sphere

    On the Las Vegas strip, in a sea of casinos, sits an enormous dome that lights up the sky. It’s called The Sphere and it’s a performance venue where punters are dazzled by 54 thousand metres of LED screens capable of showing 256 million colours, in a display so overwhelming that some concertgoers faint.  Writer Elmo Keep travelled to Vegas to see her favourite band U2 play at The Sphere in their inaugurating residency. There she found in equal parts, a religious experience and a hyper capitalist nightmare.   Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Writer, Elmo Keep See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
