Healing trauma with whispers and clicks - a podcast by triple j

You know those first few weeks and months of a really painful breakup? When you can’t eat, sleep or stop crying?

Imagine if in those moments you had a voice in your ear whispering ‘I love you’ and telling you how special you are. Except those words aren’t coming from your ex, but from a stranger on the internet.

When the pandemic kicked off and heaps of Australians lost work, the federal and state governments made an unusual commitment to protect renters from being evicted. But now almost all of those protections are gone.

Plus, Australia’s top cyber spy agency and the federal opposition have called for more action to tackle dodgy texts and scam robocalls.

Live guests:
Dr Mac Shine, neuroscientist at the Brain and Mind Institute at USYD
Brendan Coates, housing expert from the Grattan Institute
Cassandra Cross, Cybersecurity Cooperative Research Centre
