(aired 09/09/2023) - We kick off this episode of Backchat with a look at Sydney's worsening housing woes. The Committee for Sydney has just released a new report dealing just how much this crisis is costing - and will continue to cost - our city. Estelle Grech is an urban planner with the Committee For Sydney, and she will be in studio to unpack some of the takeaways from their latest report. Next up, we're joined by Sydney author and PhD researcher, Anna Broinowski for a look into the world of Deepfakes. Are we doomed? Are there positives? We'll answer this and more in a fascinating conversation. Stay tuned for a follow up, too. Finally, we round things out with a special look at the Varroa mite outbreak that continues to devastate bee populations across NSW. Our own Holly Payne has spoken to Honey Bee Council CEO Danny LeFeuvre and Sydney Uni scientist Dr Emily Remnant for the lowdown.
