Becoming a parent is supposed to be one of life's greatest joys, but for thousands of new mums and dads, the reality is a silent struggle with anxiety and depression. 

With an estimated 1,000 parents in Penrith alone experiencing perinatal mental health challenges every year—and a quarter of NSW parents failing to seek help—accessing care has never been more vital. David Wright is joined by Arabella Gibson, CEO of Gidget Foundation Australia, to break down the launch of the new Gidget House in Western Sydney, smash the stigma, and show parents how to access free, specialised support close to home.


The Hidden Crisis: Unpacking why over 1,000 parents in the Penrith local government area grapple with perinatal depression and anxiety annually.


The Treatment Gap: Examining why a staggering 25% of NSW parents go without professional help, with nearly a third unsure what support exists.


Community-Led Care: How the new Gidget House Penrith (partnered with Blooms The Chemist) provides free, GP-referred specialist psychological therapy to remove financial barriers. 


Surging National Demand: Looking at the wider 29% increase in demand driving the expansion of Gidget House locations across Australia.

If you or someone you know is navigating the emotional complexities of early parenthood, this is an absolute must-listen.

Lights, Camera, Action – Lady Gaga, Judge Judy’s Farewell, and Pop Royalty with Leonie Thomas

Following a wave of shocking gangland violence and tragic shootings, the NSW government has rushed out its third major organised crime crackdown in recent years. 

Introducing life sentences for conspiracy, sweeping new police powers, and stricter youth penalties, the government claims it's taking a stand. But do tougher laws actually stop violent crime, or are they just political window dressing? Brent is joined by Derick M. J. Luong, Lecturer in Law at the University of Technology Sydney, to weigh up the pros and cons of these aggressive new laws, what they mean for civil liberties, and whether they will keep our streets safe.


The Deterrence Myth: Why criminological evidence shows that the certainty of being caught stops crime, not hiking maximum prison sentences to life.


Targeting Young Recruits: Examining the risks of pushing teenagers—some as young as 14 groomed by syndicates—into harsher adult court pathways.


The Power of Disruption: How interim Serious Crime Prevention Orders (SCPOs) and a $15 million tech boost help police crack down on offshore kingpins and encrypted networks.


Civil Liberties on the Line: Unpacking the heavy risks of eroding procedural fairness by giving police sweeping preventative powers before full court oversight.

If you want to look past the political headlines and understand the real economics of crime and justice, this is an absolute must-listen.

Tough on Crime or Just for Show? The Pros and Cons of NSW’s New Organised Crime Laws with Derick M. J. Luong

Most Australians expect a natural disaster or emergency to hit home in the next five years, yet a staggering number of us still have zero plan in place. 

Today we’re looking at the alarming gap between disaster awareness and actual action, coinciding with EmergencyRedi Week. Why do so many people freeze or rely on passive thinking when crisis strikes, and what can we do to protect our families? Brent is joined by Brad Watson, Senior Manager of Recovery and Resilience at the Australian Red Cross, to break down the new data and what we can do about it.


The Expectation vs. Confidence Gap: Why 83% of Australians expect an emergency ahead, but a third lack confidence in how to respond.


The Power of the Mind: Recognizing why 77% of people agree that emotional and psychological readiness is just as critical as physical gear.


The Inaction Trap: Unpacking why 1 in 8 people who lived through a disaster still took zero steps to prepare afterward.


Targeting Vulnerable Cohorts: Looking at how groups like Millennials and culturally diverse communities face unique hurdles in getting ready.

If you want to move past complacency and protect your household before disaster strikes, this is an absolute must-listen.
