KEEPING TRACKS | The song that primed Peter Khalil for politics

Sam, Jess and Ruta celebrate Global Recycling Day by discussing old pop-culture trends they'd like to see have a comeback, as well as old items they still own, which are well-past their used date! From snow leopard teddy bears to dodgy wallets to sentimental eyeshadow palettes, the Cereal Box is bubbling with high energy and chaos, before Sam chats with Sustainability Victoria about the importance of recycling.

In honour of National Awkward Moments Day, Ruta seeks validation from Sam and Jess on numerous awkward first-hand experiences, before Midweek Confessions sees Jess awkwardly standing beside her friend talking to her crush, Sam struggling to pronounce character names at a Trivia while simultaenously not being able to hear a crowd member's compliments, and Ruta getting ignored in class.

 Noah Holland also joins the studio, ahead of his stand-up comedy gig appearing in Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and the team also debate the Get Cereal Weekly Question: What everyday moment deserves an Oscar?

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Ruta Alai and Jessica Djendria

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour and Sam Kelly

We're live weekdays on SYN from 7:30am 📻

FULL SHOW | Reduce, re-use and recycle...the dab?

Sam steps in for Ella alongside Matilda and Maddy for a St Patrick’s Day themed Cereal Box. The team dive into the origins of the holiday, chat about leprechauns, and spiral into a broader debate about mythological creatures — including which one they’d be.

From there, the conversation turns nostalgic as they revisit their childhood hobbies: Matilda’s Irish dancing days, Sam’s fascination with niche toys like tunic cubes and yo-yos, and Maddy’s loom band bracelet era in primary school.

Plus, the trio debate whether the Irish goodbye is actually the best way to leave a party or event without the awkward farewells.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Maddy Halford, Matilda Prelec

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour, Sam Kelly
