This week's biggest headline is a toss-up between Taylor Swift’s US Open appearance, her endorsement of Kamala Harris, and her wins at the VMA's. We also break down the US presidential debate, the government's move to set social media age limits, and what’s going on with the protests in Melbourne. And we get you prepped for the footy finals and the Murdoch family's showdown in court.

Hosted by the OG team of Claire Kimball and Kate Watson, Weekly Wrap is all about helping you stay on top of the news + we give you some talking points for the week ahead.

For many Aussies who grew up listening to Dr Karl's science show on Triple J, he’s an icon. Beyond that, he's written 48 books, co-hosted the Sleek Geeks show with Adam Spencer, made countless TV appearances, and even had a brief political run in 2007. Kate’s 4-year-old knows him from Playschool.

Dr Karl’s latest book, A Periodic Tale, dives into his life – from being the son of Holocaust survivors to becoming a physicist, taxi driver, children's doctor, and TV star. In typical Dr Karl fashion, this chat is a bit whirlwind...We hope you enjoy!

This is our final episode of Newsmakers. If you've enjoyed it, we'd love if you shared an episode with someone you know or left us a review.

A Periodic Tale :HarperCollins Australia, $45.00, available now.

Capital Brief is the new kid on the business block and John McDuling is leading the charge as editor-in-chief. You might know him as the former national business editor for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, or from his stints at the Financial Review and US-based Quartz.

Why chat with John? Capital Brief just celebrated its first year, launched with the belief that Australia needs more than just a couple of business papers. John says there's a gap for a publication focused on "decision-makers in the new economy." We dive into what that means, how millennials are shaking up boardrooms, the state of trust in media, and how Capital Brief is tackling it. Plus, we get into some of the big business themes of late.

This means she leads a team producing news that millions of Australians read and watch every day. She is also one of those people you immediately want to grab a glass of wine with - she's relatable, energetic, and positive.

Kerri answers all this and more in our conversation, including the story behind her appearance on the Royals' Instagram account and her big concerns about the future of the industry she has worked in since starting as an intern at 2UE back in 1991.
