The South Australian Of The Year, Dr Gill Hicks, joins us to explore connections between the recent Adelaide Hills bushfires, international terrorism and our attitudes toward asylum seekers. Plus we learn more about the amazing qualities of humankind from her first hand stories of experiencing terror.

PS Gill might soon be Australian Of The Year, too. Keep your ears and eyes open around 6pm January 25. Good luck, Gill.

Assistant Commission of Police, Linda Fellows also joins us tonight, discussing the role social media plays in policing, especially during crisis events like the recent Samson Flat bushfires.

Plus, welcome to our new mix of voices with three new contributors:

Max Martin with the Made To Move Minute (fitness)
George Inglis with Time To Think (public transport and policy)
David Barthomoleusz with our Thought For The Week (philosophy, reflection)

We hope you enjoy their contribution. We have some more voices getting ready, too.

Music comes from Semaphore.

Wine comes from the Adelaide Hills via the Arkaba Hotel.
