85 Years of 4GY Gympie: Celebrating Australia's Regional Voice with Rick Hose

A landmark new report launched in Canberra reveals a devastating public health reality: irreversible lung scarring is claiming 11 Australian lives every single day—putting its death toll on par with prostate cancer.

With nearly 22,000 Australians currently living with progressive pulmonary fibrosis—and one in five cases caused by workplace exposure to dusts, fumes, and chemicals—urgent action is required. In this episode, we speak with Professor Tamera Corte, lead investigator of the Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis and Director of Interstitial Lung Disease at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, about the findings of The Burden of Pulmonary Fibrosis report, the disproportionate impact on regional communities, and why a national integrated screening program is desperately needed.

Paper-Thin Financial Buffers: Household Savings & RBA Rate Surge

It is the first Tuesday in November—the race that stops the nation! While millions of Australians are placing a casual sweepstake or picking a horse by its jockey silks, serious breeders and punters know that winning a brutal 3,200-metre test comes down to pure genetic science.

In this special Melbourne Cup Day episode, we drop in live to a Cup function to speak with resident veterinarian Dr Andrew Cornwell, owner of Cardiff and Cameron Park Veterinary Hospitals. We uncover how elite bloodlines, stamina genetics, and big-race temperament produce champions—and what casual punters should look for on the racecard!

Key Highlights:


The Blueprint of a Champion: How bloodlines dictate a horse's cardiopulmonary capacity, stamina-to-speed ratio, and calm focus under high-pressure crowd conditions.


Art Meets Genetic Science: How modern breeders pair top-tier stallions and mares using genetic testing to optimize performance while avoiding inbreeding risks.


The Grueling 3,200m Test: Why breeding a true "stayer" requires a unique genetic mix of extreme cardiovascular endurance and explosive final-turn sprint power.


Pedigree Tips for Bettors: How to read a horse's sire line to spot natural distance preference and track condition advantages on Cup Day.
