Can't wait to get into this huge topic with @anatolitis.bsky.social and @rachelwithers.bsky.social tonight from 7 on @3rrrfm.bsky.social. Plus a press freedom brawl at the ABC, the greatest interview we've ever seen, some songs, and more.
Tonight I'm co-hosting Spin Cycle on @3rrrfm.bsky.social with the excellent @jessielilley.bsky.social, @rachelwithers.bsky.social and @theshufflediary.bsky.social – join us 7:00pm AEDT? This week we're looking at how the Australian news media are framing AI, among other topical spins to unspin.
