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 Tuesday on The Brew. At 12:10 biz futurist Morris Miselowski joins us live from Melbourne. The UN wants us off the old classroom map that makes Greenland look the size of Africa, and Morris is asking what other outdated pictures we still carry in our heads. Jarrod Watt can’t be with us today, as he’s busy at 37,000 feet. Back next week. Then at 1:25 it’s World Wasp Week, running from today until next Monday, organised by Dr Alexey Reshchikov of the Hong Kong Wasps Project. He’s a Russian wasp taxonomist at HKU. Did you know that Hong Kong has about 350 kinds of stinging wasp, but only a couple of dozen are the social picnic-ruiners? Most are solitary, and a huge number, including Alexey’s Darwin wasps, don’t sting people at all. They use a needle-fine egg tube on other insects, not on you. Join him on Facebook live if you can.

It’s Tuesday on The Brew. Morris Miselowski is off globetrotting and biz-futurising this week, so he’ll be back with us next Tuesday. At 12:40 Jarrod Watt joins us live from Melbourne with this week’s Aussie news. ARIA has banned fully AI-generated songs from the Australian charts after an AI-heavy Madonna cover climbed the list, so tracks now have to be substantially human-made to count. And after all last week’s fuss, the Albanese government has decided not to ban those so-called pervert glasses, the cheap smart specs that can film people without them knowing. Pools, shops and councils can still stop people wearing them on their premises if they want. Jarrod has more.
