Wavelength: Pride Month, Cryonics (Freezing Humans) and a Zero-emissions Transport System
Wavelength is back and this week we have got a jam-packed show that will be guaranteed to get you chatting about the important convos you should be having! You’ll also be glad to know that Cass is not alone in the studio for this week’s episode and joined by the delightful Maggie. The Hon Tom Koutsantonis MP - Transport Minister (SA) sits down with Marco to chat about South Australia’s strategy towards net-zero emissions by 2050 and how we can benefit from commuting via trains, buses and trams. Currently, Adelaide still runs several diesel passenger trains with the plan to eliminate the diesel fleet and work towards a quieter, more efficient fleet that’s better for the environment. This month is Pride Month, so to celebrate Liliana discusses the recent laws passed in the ACT to protect the medical rights of Intersex individuals with Legal Director of Equality Australia, Ghassan Kassisieh who explains the progress of these laws in other states too. Also Liliana speaks to Communications Officer of IHRA, Cody Smith (who was also born with intersex variations and received unconsented medical intervention in the ACT) to find out what impact the passing of this bill has had personally and also considers the next reforms we should look at to include Intersex people.   Have you ever thought about freezing your body to be thawed in years to come? For me, it’s not something that comes to mind right away but if you are looking for a conversation starter then look no further, Trevor answers your questions as he takes you through a new experiment about Cryonics (freezing your body to preserve it) some Australians are considering in Wavelength ‘Wavo’ Explains. Jasmine keeps you up to date with the latest good news stories with Heaps Good News! Listen to Wavelength live and join the convos about Adelaide you should be having, Monday night fortnightly from 6.15 pm on Fresh 92.7.

Wavelength: Medicare, Soup Street Artist & Livability Ranking
“As you spend money on your doctor’s visit or your specialist visits, the excess amount you spend that you are not getting back from Medicare adds towards these Safety Net amounts, which are your thresholds”. - Community Information Officer Justin Bott on Medicare Safety Nets  In this week’s instalment of Wavelength Grace chats to GP and SA Chair for RACGP (The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners) Dr Daniel Byrne to discuss the changes in Bulk billing and the effects on both patients and practitioner’s. We also got the opportunity to talk about ‘Medicare Safety Nets’ with Services Australia’s Community Information Officer Justin Bott to breakdown how the initiative works.   Who says soup can’t be an all year round treat! Winter may have finished but we have just the thing to warm your insides! Reporter Sam got the chance to speak to Local Sticker Street Artist ‘Soup’ to warm your insides with an update since the two last had a chat to discuss how Soup has redesigned himself and the way he views the Streets of Adelaide. Adelaide is often known as ‘The City of Churches’, ‘The Festival State’ or in recent years known as “One of the most liveable cities in the World”. Brayden explains the Global Liveability Index and why Adelaide’s Liveability ranking in this year’s survey dropped significantly, but also covers how we can bounce back and reclaim our status!
