Episode Description

Known as one of the most fierce and outspoken politicians in the country, Jacqui Lambie does not hold back. Not with her opinion, her work ethic, or her convictions. And she's done the unthinkable, for a politician, she's changed her mind and admitted to it.

Rising to public office with the Palmer United Party in 2013, she quickly struck out on her own in 2014 as an independent for Tasmania in the Senate. Lambie, an Aboriginal Tasmanian who served in the Australian Army, has fought hard for welfare recipients, veterans and families affected by ice addiction, speaking compellingly on these issues from personal experience.

Senator Lambie is anything but predictable and has come dangerously close many times to bursting the Canberra bubble. Expect candid frankness on Australia's socio-political landscape and where Lambie sees us heading in this opening address for FODI 2022.

Faith in the Time of Corona Tash McGill As the globe experiences a pandemic unlike anything in our recent history, the first wave of coronavirus infections is moving towards a peak, coinciding with some of the world’s most sacred religious festivals and celebrations; the Jewish Passover, the Christian Holy Week and Easter and the Muslim festival of Ramadan. In times of suffering and uncertainty, it is often our religious practices and faith narratives that hold us together, forming a framework for grief and hope. Now, as we remain physically distant, our connection to the outside world and each other has become virtual as we cling to the news cycle to understand how this virus is progressing and when it might end. When understanding our world and each other means understanding the religious nature of our most important rituals of life and death, what role does the voice of religion have in the media? Tash McGill presents Faith in the Time of Corona, with Newstalk ZB.This series was made with the support of NZ on A The WebRoots Democracy Podcast WebRoots Democracy WebRoots Democracy Festival was an online festival of talks, debates, and discussions examining pressing matters related to technology and democracy.

As the first and only art festival in Hong Kong dedicated to new media art, Microwave has steadily grown into a well-established festival that brings cutting-edge works to provoke thought in the technological hub every year.
