Poaching friends - a podcast by triple j

Have you ever been introduced to a friend's friend - and hit it off?

If you ended up hanging out with the new friend more than the original one…sorry, you're a friend poacher.

We look at how to handle friend poaching, mixing your friendship circles, and how it feels to be left behind in a group of mates.

Plus, can music make you high? Australian researchers have looked into binaural beats - which can mimic the effects of psychoactive drugs, according to some listeners.

And did you know that the majority of young homeless people in Australia are women and girls? We learn about The Great Couch Sleepout - a campaign from Youth off the Streets.

We also take you to Canberra, where Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address the Australian Parliament.

Live guests
Dr Marny Lishman, psychologist
Dr Monica Barratt, RMIT
Chelsea, The Great Couch Sleepout
Claudia Long, Hack’s political reporter
