Paul Murrell is away traveling, so this program we have three quite different interviews.

First up, we’ll be talking with Winston Reinboth, who’s working on a system that gives you satellite navigation but also fascinating information about local sites as you travel.

Next, we'll hit the road to test the ever-popular Mazda MX-5 convertible – an iconic vehicle for driving enthusiasts.

And finally, we’ll take a closer look at Brisbane City Council’s latest public transport innovation – a system that’s a cross between a bus and a tram. It’s an important step forward, but they might’ve missed the mark with the name.

Subjects

Three interviews

• We all know that modern navigation systems help us get from point A to point B, but what if we could make that journey more informative and meaningful?

Winston is developing a system that combines locational technology with local insights.

• Road test the Mazda MX-5 convertible

Evoking the joy of motoring with the top down

But lack practicality

• Brisbane City Council has embarked on a new trial aimed at evolving its road-based public transport network. Silly name but good if you can make it work
