Hack

Australian surfing legend Owen Wright had one of the best sporting comeback's of all time after he suffered from a traumatic brain injury.

Owen and wife singer-songwriter Kita Alexander caught up with Hack after the release of Owen's book, "Against the Water."

In 2023, we saw major disruptive protests in cities over climate change from groups like Extinction Rebellion.

Every time we see protesters blocking roads or bridges, or throwing soup on a painting,  a lot of people criticise them saying it damages their cause. 

But, why would protesters keep doing it if they felt like it didn't work?

Have you ever been to the mechanic and thought they were ripping you off?

Heaps of you told Hack that you reckon you've been overcharged, especially young women.

So are there mechanics who are adding on a 'girl tax'? And what can you do to stop it?

Imagine living in a place where it rarely rains. Sometimes it's dark during the day and you walk to work under the stars.  

Other times, the sun doesn’t stop shining. When the sun does set, it's magical.

It's not a planet from a science fiction film - it's Antarctica.

And every year thousands of people apply to work there.

Australian plumber Todd Schultz was one of them.

Have you thought about going skydiving, but then freaked out about the possibility of your parachute not opening?

That worst-case scenario came true for Brad Guy.

His family and close friends watched him as he fell to the earth... but, miraculously, he survived.

Hack chatted to Brad earlier this year about his experience and the aftermath dealing with PTSD and mental illness.

BookTok and Bookstagram are huge, but sometimes you just see the same titles being recommended over, and over, and over again.

Have you been super psyched in the lead-up to a big event, riding on a high, then it comes and goes and then... you just feel like shit?

You're not going crazy.

Post-event comedown is a real thing and, for some people, it can have pretty devastating consequences.

We’re not even a month through summer and parts of the country have already experienced scorching heatwaves.

But they’re not just on land — marine heatwaves have been declared too.

What are they? And what kind of impacts can they have on ocean life?

Australian footballer Josh Cavallo made history in 2021 when he became the first openly gay current professional soccer player in the world. 

He caught up with Hack ahead of Sydney WorldPride in early 2023 to reflect on the legacy of his decision and where we're at with LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in sport.

For most people, Christmastime is full of fun, festivities and food.

But for people living with an eating disorder, it can be an extraordinarily difficult time to navigate.

So how can you deal with big food-centric events if you're struggling with eating? And how can you support loved ones who are struggling?

If you or someone you know needs help related to an eating disorder, you can call The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 46 73 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
