The Monash Energy Club and MOJO News would like to introduce a new podcast called Grind’n the Grid, a series discussing energy and environment news, policy, and breakthroughs. We are incredibly excited to be launching this and hope you enjoy what we have to offer.

In this episode we’ll be breaking down the oil war, why you were paying 85 cents a litre for petrol, and the benefit the oil crisis has had on the environment, and whether those benefits will last.

Disclaimer: This was filmed on the 2nd of May. Oil prices have increased back to 25-30$ a barrel since recording.

Correction: We said air quality in India improved by 35% on the first day of lockdown. Rather this was an improvement over three days. Air Quality Index improved from 115 to 75.

When someone lives with a disability, it is our society’s instinct to not see that individual beyond that. Simply Beings is a podcast that shows people as more than their disadvantages and explores hardships they face because of society’s perception. In this first episode, Sheetal Singh talks to Luke O’Brien, a musician and a student. 

Luke studies at Deakin University and was diagnosed with anxiety and depression about four years ago. To end the stigma around mental health, Luke uses rap music as a medium to spread awareness. Sheetal then speaks with with mental healthcare professionals and patients about the effects social isolation during coronavirus is having on those seeking assistance.

Warning: The following podcast includes a discussion on mental illness and suicide. The content might be distressing for some and it is advised that our listeners prepare themselves emotionally and mentally. If you are worried and need help, call please call Lifeline on 131114 for assistance.

Our news headlines are awash with scandals. Their salacious details are monetised by commercial news outlets, they send social media into a flurry, destroy reputations and provide global water cooler conversation.

But where do they start?

Uncovered: Mediatised Scandal is a series that takes you to the heart of the formation of scandals.

In this episode, host David Bonaddio chats to one of Bayside Church's Senior Minister's Rob Buckingham, a church based in Cheltenham that he co-leads with his wife Christie. Rob lifts the lid on a Christian perspective on the George Pell scandal, why the church's name has been trashed from scandals like this and what Australia loves about the church.

Editor's note: this program was produced and edited prior to Cardinal George Pell's release.

But where do they start?

Uncovered: Mediatised Scandal is a series that takes you to the heart of the formation of scandals. 

In this episode, host David Bonaddio chats to author Rod Tiffen about the George Pell scandal; the rise of fake news; and why a fragmented media means desperately breathing scandal into everything has become the new norm.

In the first episode of my My Libido host Amanda Joo asks those taboo questions everyone wants to ask about masturbation.

How often do you finger yourself? What about rubbing your clitoris and inserting a butt-plug into your anus?

Amanda also delves into the history of masturbation and how patriarchy oppressed women's sexual liberation for much of recent history.
