Domestic violence is a scourge on our society with nearly 25 percent of women experiencing violence at the hands of an intimate partner. In light of COVID-19 and social isolation measures, experts are worried that family violence rates are set to rise. We spoke to CEO of the Australian National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) Dr Heather Nancarrow, an expert on domestic violence who has a PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice. We also spoke to Alice Clark executive director of Shelter SA to discuss the lack of affordable housing for people fleeing abusive situations.

Also on Wavelength, reporter Hamish took a look at whether it’s possible for Adelaide to go 100 per-cent renewable.

The Coronavirus has had a massive impact on Australian workers and businesses due to increased social distancing rules and regulations put into place. Many have been left unemployed and face an uncertain future ahead. Numerous people have been trying to access our social services but the already slow, complex and bureaucracy heavy Centrelink has reached breaking point with thousands attempting to make JobSeeker claims.

Also, on Wavelength we take a look at single-sex schools and whether they are beneficial for a persons’ education, or outdated ideas that can promote negative and toxic gender stereotypes.

We’re back in 2020 after what feels like an eternity. We’ve faced bushfires, a World War III threat, and now a global pandemic. Never fear though, Wavelength is here to get the facts straight.

This week we ask how do we make sure a bushfire crisis of the scale seen last summer never happens again? We interview Paul Dare, the founder of FireFlight, an innovative aerial mapping tech company from Adelaide that will soon help out in the US during California’s bushfire season. We also speak to Andrew Walker, founder of Airseed Technologies, about how his company is helping revitalise the natural landscape we lost during the bushfires.

With Coronavirus the hot topic of the moment Wavelength Explains how the pandemic is impacting our favourite music festivals around the world. And we also take a look behind the scenes of AdMental, a competition shining a light on mental health awareness.

Pokie machines would accept bank notes and open on Christmas Day and Good Friday under reforms proposed by the South Australian State Government. Will these changes make life harder for problem gamblers? We speak to a number of people who agree: an advocate for gambling reform, a live caller who bravely shared her story of how addiction nearly ruined her life, and a politician who is not sold on these laws.

Also on this week's Wavelength with Zane and David, we catch up with RCC Fringe Artistic Director, David Sefton, to chat through the 2020 program, and we hit the streets to ask "what do you wish you learned in school?"

Adelaide was recently named the "meth capital of the world" according to new research. How do we drop this dubious honour? We speak to a recovering addict who bravely shared his story of how he fell into a meth addiction, and how he was able to get his life back on track. We also speak to medical professionals, one of whom sees the effects of addiction come through the emergency department every single day, about what needs to be done to stop this scourge.

On this week's Wavelength with Zane and David, we also introduce you to Sean Grealy - SA's Young Achiever Of The Year for 2019 - who's innovating the way we connect with our loved ones in aged care around the world. (Nominations for the 2020 Seven News Young Achiever Awards are open now, by the way!) And finally, we hit the streets to ask where you stand on the latest phrase craze: "OK Boomer."

From major fast food chains to local eateries, plant-based alternatives to meat are everywhere right now. Are we heading towards a future where fake meat is phased out? We speak to Staazi and co, an Adelaide vegan yiros joint about why they choose fake lamb, and dietician Joyce Haddad about why plant-based alternatives aren't necessarily healthier.

Also on this week's Wavelength, we hear about why Kangaroo meat - one of the most polarising foods in Australia - could actually be the solution to a number of ecological issues, and we bring you audio directly from the protests about the alleged murder of a Yuendumu man in the Northern Territory.

With raging bushfires across SA this week bringing the conversation around climate change to the fore, the timing for this story couldn't be more uncanny. This week, we explore the phenomenon of 'climate anxiety', which has become so severe that some young people are swearing off of having kids altogether.

Also on this week's Wavelength with Zane and David, we speak to Arman Abrahimzadeh, an ambassador for the now-closed White Ribbon Australia. Arman shares the harrowing story of how his life was forever changed by domestic violence as a child, and explains why he believes the work of White Ribbon needs to continue. Finally, we hit the streets to ask: is Tinder dead?
