I really loved this chat. It was funny, challenging, intense and really considered. If you enjoyed it make sure you see Tyson onstage. He's doing a wonderful series of events around the country at the moment.

So, I spent a weekend chatting to One Nation voters and it was fascinating.
When we talk about One Nation we invariably talk about one person: Pauline Hanson. We often don't tend to talk about - or to - the people that actually vote for her. So myself and excellent producer Simon Cunich went to find out what matters to them. What makes them angry? Why are they turning away from both major parties? You may be surprised by their responses. You may be offended. Let me know in the comments what you think.

James Blunt is surprisingly honest and legitimately funny
“I feel disrespect for anyone who enjoys my music.” So, um, James Blunt is surprisingly honest and legitimately funny. We talked about his years as a soldier in Kosovo, why Carrie Fisher had a piano in her bathroom and why music reviewers are bullshit and.. yeah... it's a full chat
Indigenous Astronomer: Karlie Noon
Karlie Noon was the first Indigenous woman in NSW to graduate with a double degree in mathematics and physics… but Indigenous Australians have been practicing science long before universities were teaching it.
Despite evidence in the form of rock art depicting Indigenous knowledge about astronomy, Karlie says that she gets pushback for claiming Indigenous Australian astronomers made discoveries attributed to Galileo, Newton and Kepler.
“I'm young and I'm saying, ‘No, that's not true, Indigenous people knew about it before them.’ I guess it can be a little bit jarring to people.
“There's this perception Indigenous discoveries can’t add anything to western science, so why would we bother looking at it?” she says.
Karlie’s experience teaching students from low socio-economic and Indigenous backgrounds has led her to CSIRO’s Indigenous STEM Education project where she works as a research assistant.
When she left home and set out for a career in science, it dawned on Karlie that her background was worlds apart from those studying and working alongside her.
Like the students she has mentored along her way, Karlie grew up in a poor family; she left school in year eight, studied at TAFE then went on to university.
While many people in Karlie’s life are proud of her achievements, “there's the other side where people feel a bit weird when you're in the limelight.”
Karlie puts this down to a sort of internalised shame stemming from generations of Indigenous people needing to be fearful of the public eye.
Despite everything, Karlie continues to push ahead… and she hopes other young Indigenous people will follow her, or be inspired to forge their own path.

Veteran Kids Author Paul Jennings on his near death experience
If you were an Australian kid in the late 80's or 90's then you would've - at some point - picked up a book by Paul Jennings. Or, of course, you would've watched the brilliant tv show Round the Twist.
He's a legendary author. He has sold around 8.9 million copies of his over 60 different books. He doesn't give a lot of interviews but he kindly allowed us to come visit his home and talk about his life, his career, his moving family experience and more.

Bob Odenkirk would really like to host SNL
I sat down with Bob Odenkirk ahead of the launch of season 3 of Better Call Saul (airing in Australia on Stan from April 11) and the conversation took a turn for the serious. We talked about how comedy acts as therapy for Odenkirk, why he opts out of too much involvement in Better Call Saul and there's a fascinating moment where we talk about his time as a writer on SNL. Turns out Bob would really like to host. And Lorne Micheals knows it.
