Phil chats with Glen Cook, better (and almost only) known by his nickname Cookie.

After working 25 years as an electrician and being the first responder to many serious injuries, burns and fatalities, Cookie was spurred to make a change in the world of electrical safety.

He is a self-professed "passionate powerline safety specialist" and has done a lot of really important work in raising awareness and creating change around powerline safety.

Phil sits down with Vanessa Fowler, chair of The Allison Baden-Clay Foundation, activist and sister of the late Allison Baden-Clay.

Allison's tragedy was one that gripped the nation - and although six years have passed, one woman a week is still being murdered by her current or former partner.

Phil and Vanessa have a really important discussion on the prevalence of domestic and family violence in our society, how to pick warning signs early on, and the way we need to change our attitude when it comes to "minding your own business".

Phil chats with Ray Page, one of the pioneers in Australian simulation. 

Something a little different, Ray discusses growing up in Brisbane during the war, his love for radio and how that lead him down an incredibly fascinating career with Qantas in simulation. He has some terrific stories, so although it's a little longer, it's definitely worth the listen.
