Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Welcome to The Brew. Today, business futurist Morris Miselowski joins us live from Melbourne at 12:10 to discuss his latest articles on the hidden costs of AI in the workplace. He argues that automating entry level tasks and cutting middle management is quietly wiping out the corporate learning ladder. Which, put simply, means if AI takes over all the junior roles, nobody actually learns how to do the senior ones, leaving us with brilliant algorithms and future bosses who haven't got a clue how anything works. Then at 1:25, Jarrod Watt is back for all things Aussie, bringing us his week’s news, stories, and some more great music... live from Down Under.

Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. Coming up after the mid-day news, our NYC correspondent Tracy Quan kicks things off with the nice, easy topic of the 'seven deadly sins', and then, of course... a bit of fashion! At 12:40, RTL France's Philippe Dova is live from Siem Reap with a special tribute to the legendary Belgian singer Frank Michael, the romantic "Prince of Lovers", who passed away just a few days ago at the age of 79. Finally at 1:25, it is 'classical' music day with our friend Paul Archibald, joining us live from Bangkok. Today we are exploring some fantastic symphonies by Antonin Dvorak, one of the most famous composers out there, and arguably history's biggest train nerd! He memorised timetables, hung out at railway stations, and once said he would give up all his musical works if he could just own a real locomotive (From the New World, maybe?) Oh yes, and he wrote some pretty decent tunes too.
