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.
It’s Wednesday on The Brew. At 12:10 Tracy Quan joins us live from New York, where the City Council has just approved year-round outdoor dining, the nation’s first Office of Insurance Affordability, and a package of neighbourhood quality-of-life measures. Yay! At 12:40 we'll say "hi" to RTL France's Philippe Dova, live from Paris, firing up the time machine to revisit the songs that topped the French charts 50 years ago, while also paying tribute to two French music stars who passed away in August. Then at 1:25 it’s Classical Music Day with Paul Archibald, joining us live from Bangkok for a musical love story between Igor Stravinsky and Coco Chanel – the brief, much-debated 1920 entanglement when the composer and his family stayed at her villa near Paris, and she helped bankroll a revival of his masterpiece The Rite of Spring.

On The Brew today, we are playing matchmaker between two generations facing two very different, but surprisingly connected, crises! As we do... At 12:10, business futurist Morris Miselowski joins us to explore a new study showing a massive spike in loneliness among over-45s, alongside his own look at the 19-year-olds currently struggling to break into an AI-heavy job market. Should they team up? Jarrod Watt joins us, also live from Melbourne, at 12:40. Today is all about Modi in Melbs, saying "goodbye" to the wonderful actor Sam Neill, Pam the Bird... and other assorted Aussieness.
