Veteran broadcaster John Ovenden makes his monthly visit to the dining room table, bringing his trusted computer expert Melanie Lewis. Melanie tells Jeremy Cordeaux AM why technology feels more complicated than ever, when it is safe to ask AI for tech help, why updates sometimes change your settings, and why you should never click unsubscribe on spam.

John shares scam advice for older Australians from a seniors guide by the member for Mayo, including where to report scams, and talks walking soccer in Mount Barker. The table also discusses the Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros merger, John's memories of Channel 10, and why catch-up TV is winning viewers.

This interview aired live on The Court of Public Opinion on Friday 9 October 2026.
