100 Days of Trump & The Death of Casual Hobbies

Donald Trump's first 100 days back in the White House have been a whirlwind of executive orders and dramatic policy changes, but what else can we learn from Trump 2.0?

Plus, why do millennials feel the need to turn every hobby into a side hustle? From casual knitting to running an Etsy empire, we investigate why we can't just do things for fun anymore.

In today's headlines Three charges against alleged mushroom killer Erin Patterson have been dropped as the trial gets underway; Research shows Aussies who work from home are saving 3 hours a week and $5000 a year from not commuting; Amazon has denied they plan to include Trump's tariff import costs on its website for American customers after the White House criticised the idea; A historian is campaigning to heritage list three Australian pay phones, one that helped communities during the 2019/20 bushfires.
