They started as a treatment for diabetes, but GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have quickly become the most talked-about drugs in modern medicine.

With two-thirds of Australians now living with obesity, the shift from lifestyle-only messaging to pharmaceutical solutions is accelerating, but is it just a new form of diet culture, or a genuine medical breakthrough?

Today, we get rare access to one of the original pioneers of the science. Professor Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, Chief Scientific Advisor at Novo Nordisk, joins us to answer your questions. 

Plus, Lotte addresses the headlines regarding side effects and why the FDA recently removed a major warning from the label.

Anthony Albanese tells Australians to go about our lives but only buy the fuel and diesel needed

HEADLINES: PM's National Address Tonight - Here's What You Need To Know

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/78845645-fe38-4938-9a56-b41f0015910f/transcript

If you could press play on Australia, what would you hear?

This week, the National Film and Sound Archive has added nine more iconic sounds to its permanent collection, and they range from the deeply moving to the flat-out hilarious.

We’re unpacking the 2026 inductees, including the viral 'succulent Chinese meal' arrest, Missy Higgins’ breakout hit ‘Scar’, and the pedestrian crossing 'beep' that ended up in a Billie Eilish song.

Plus, we look back at the powerful 2015 Australian of the Year speech by Rosie Batty and the jingle that ensured no Aussie would ever forget the number 1300 655 506.

Claire Murphy joins us to travel through the sonic history of the country and find out what really makes a sound 'quintessentially Australian'.

🗞️ HEADLINES
An inquest will reconstruct the final moment of fugitive Dezi Freeman's life
Fuel prices may not drop before the Easter long weekend
A giant Trans flag has been unfurled in Brisbane to protest state government restrictions to gender affirming health care
Tiger Woods told police he was looking at his phone prior to Friday's crash
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will not be attending the royal family Easter gathering on Sunday
