    Reinventing meat with George Peppou

    Could we reduce the environmental costs of eating meat? Could we make it cheaper, or healthier? Would you do it by feeding livestock differently, or through different farming practices? George Peppou asks; "why not start from scratch?" Vow is a Sydney-based startup that grows real meat, from animal cells, in a lab. They're not just sticking to beef, either. They have their own bio-bank, brimming with all sorts of species that just might taste better than what we normally eat. Join us as George talks us through the problems with the current food production system, how Vow does things better, whether vegans could one day eat meat, and how to make strawberries fizzy.

    Housing affordability, climate change, and thinking like an economist with Nicki Hutley

    Can you put a dollar value on life? Why is housing so unaffordable in Australia, and what can we do about it? Are Australians destined to lose out in a transition to a carbon-neutral world? Nicki Hutley is an independent economist and member the Climate Council, and she has spent her life studying and educating others on just these topics. Today, she gives us a glimpse of an economist’s view of the world. We look at the causes, consequences, and solutions to Australia’s housing crisis, and we discuss how Australia is positioned for a greener future.

    Space, innovation, and saving the planet with Tim Parsons

    Do you know how much of your everyday life occurs in space? The banking transactions you make, the weather predictions that you check, and the internet service you socialise on all rely on things occuring outside of our planet. Tim Parsons has lived and breathed space his whole life, and is now the chair of the Space Industry Association of Australia board of directors. He walks us through why Australia needs a space industry, as well as the economic and strategic opportunities it affords us. He talks about the rapid pace of innovation in space, and why sometimes we need to step outside of Earth to realise how special our planet truly is. Also - do aliens exist?

    Composing video game music with Julian "Zorsy" Sanchez

    Have you ever wondered how the music in your favourite video games was written? How does a musician hear a description of a character, or a world, or an achievement, and write a melody to bring them to life? What creative limitations exist on composers for video games, and how do they work around them? Julian "Zorsy" Sanchez has written music for multiple Nintendo Switch titles, indie games, and even worked with Cartoon Network. He walks us through his creative processes and inspirations, and gives us an insight into shaping the way we view video game worlds.
