With just over a hundred days to go until the US election, Joe Biden has announced he’s dropping out of the presidential race.

In a letter posted to X, he said “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term”.

His decision comes after weeks of pressure from donors and colleagues to drop out.

The question now is whether the Democrats will unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who President Biden has endorsed to succeed him. 

Today, senior fellow at the United States Studies Centre Bruce Wolpe on the key players who pushed Biden out and whether Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump.

The war in the Middle East has sent Australia’s fuel prices soaring.

And people are worried that if the battle between the US-Israel and Iran continues for another month – Australia may have to begin rationing fuel.

Already, drivers are panic buying, stockpiling and some country petrol stations are running dry.

Global oil supplies are under threat as Iran attacks tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Today, Tim Buckley, the Director of Climate Energy Finance, and the question: as the oil shock hits home, how high could the price at the pump really go?

“Prices could double”: how the fuel crisis will hit your hip pocket

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/6a40b04b-5c27-4a6c-bc87-b40f00584812/transcript

This month, one of the biggest shows in Australian radio was suddenly pulled off air.

For years, Kyle and Jackie O have been treated as untouchable – a breakfast radio juggernaut that could pull huge audiences, generate endless headlines, and weather scandal after scandal.

So much so that the Australian Radio Network handed the pair a $200 million deal – one of the biggest contracts Australian media has ever seen – betting Sydney's most popular breakfast show could go national.

But that bet turned shaky: The show struggled to win over Melbourne, controversies kept piling up, and the regulator repeatedly found it in breach of broadcasting standards.

Now, after an on-air rupture that has blown apart the partnership at the centre of it all, the future of that enormous deal is in doubt.

Today, Kyle and Jackie O’s former boss and host of the Game Changers Radio podcast, Craig Bruce, on what happens when the most expensive bet in the Radio business falls apart.

Kyle and Jackie O's $200m break up and the end of the shock-jock era

For some time now, an alarming number of Australian boys have been engaging with, and looking up to, the misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate.

This week, the conversation about misogyny and the “manosphere” has resurfaced. Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek has accused Married At First Sight of platforming coercive control and misogyny, Netflix has released Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere, and fresh research suggests roughly 40% of teenage boys surveyed agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

Tate’s influence is warping classroom conversation, driving female peers to the fringe of discussion and even causing some teachers to quit.

So why are misogynistic influencers reaching so many young men?

Today, we’re bringing you an episode from 2024 – in which Ange McCormack speaks to author and journalist Anna Krien about the misogynist radicalisation happening in our schools.

This episode was first published in March 2024.
