Young people are suing NSW police - a podcast by triple j

Splendour in the Grass is the country's biggest music festival, but over the last few years more young people have spoken up about the disturbing ways they were stripsearched by NSW Police at the event.

In most cases, no drugs were found. Now they’re taking the cops to court.

Meet the young Aussie who's created an environmentally friendly and cheap sanitary pad out of bananas.

Plus, have you ever thought about the science behind your name? Research shows it could impact our job opportunities and social circles.

Live guests:
Dr Vicki Sentas, senior lecturer at UNSW’s School of Law, Society & Criminology
Mursal Azadzoi, student and creator of the Nana Pad
