  • Can Animals Lie - with James O'Hanlon

    Can Animals Lie - with James O'Hanlon
    Jun 16 2025

    The act of lying seems to be an inherently human trait at times, but when we dig a bit deeper beneath the surface we see that nature practices deception all the time.

    As part of the 2025 Australasian Society for the Study of Animal Behaviour conference and ahead of the release of his latest book, we caught up with James to chat about his work, and the incredible ways that animals deceive us and others.

    Last week Taylor Swift made an announcement that many fans have long been waiting for: she now owns the master recordings of all six of her early albums.

    To learn why this is a big deal, we sat down with copyright and IP expert and Taylor Swift fan, Dr Wellett Potter from the University of New England.

  • What Can Opalised Fossils Tell Us About Ancient Environments

    What Can Opalised Fossils Tell Us About Ancient Environments
    Jun 6 2025

    Fossils play an important part in how we interact with and understand our environment - including those environments long past.

    There's a wealth of fossils in Lightning Ridge, which can teach us much about the mid-Cretaceous, and that's exactly what today's guest, Sherri Donaldson, is working on.

    We caught up with Sherri for World Environment Day to talk about how these ancient creatures can teach us not just about the past, but also our future.
