  • Everyone’s Got ADHD Now?!

    It’s a mix of madness, jokes, and serious convos — you already know how we do.

  • From Racial Profiling at Apple to City Council! Ft Cr Mohamed Semra

    Councillor Mohamed Semra joins us for a measured, open-ended conversation about what it really takes for young people to influence public life. We trace his path from the 2015 Apple Store incident to the Maribyrnong City Council chambers, discussing why he chose to run as an independent and how that choice shapes his stance on issues.

    Along the way, Mohamed reflects on carrying two identities—one in the political arena and one rooted in his community—and on the practical value (and limits) of awards such as the AMAA Youth of the Year and Young Voltaire Human Rights prizes. We also look at the stigma surrounding African-Australian youth crime, what effective leadership could look like, and the lessons he wishes he’d learned sooner.

    Whether you’re curious about grassroots politics, youth advocacy, or balancing personal values with public expectations, this episode offers a grounded perspective without the usual spin.

  • STREETS NOT SAFE! FT Daniel Olasoji

    The boys are back with Daniel from The Disruption Entertainment for another unfiltered episode, tackling real conversations that matter. From whether married men should rock earrings to the ongoing street violence affecting innocent people, no topic is off-limits. We break down how knife crime is becoming a growing issue in Melbourne, why last names in Australia are changing, and even ask—what would a perfect world look like?

    The rise in knife crime across Melbourne is becoming impossible to ignore, especially among young people. Too often, these conversations only happen after tragedy strikes. We need to address the issue now—before more innocent lives are affected. Awareness is the first step, and it starts with real discussions like this one.
