‘Songs Inside’ is a compelling feature-length documentary that chronicles the transformative journey of a small group of women from the Adelaide Women’s Prison who, over six months, discovered the healing power of music. As the creative process unfolds, it unearths profound struggles with trauma and addiction, demonstrating that even within the complexities of prison life, music can serve as a universal force for healing and hope. Led by Barkindji singer-songwriter Nancy Bates, their journey culminates in a historic performance—the largest concert ever staged within an Australian prison—featuring the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and an audience of over 200 inmates and special guests. Phil chats to Shalom Almond about the film, it's creation and its inclusion in the Sydney Film festival. https://www.songsinside.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phil is joined by Chris Foster-Ramsay, Finance & Money Expert, Founder of Foster Ramsay Finance, who explains that "there are pros and cons to paying your mortgage off in full.”  “Leaving a small amount in your mortgage account means you can easily access additional funds without going through the usual 50-question bank rigmarole. Your home loan is potentially the cheapest credit you’ll ever get access to, so payingoff loans incurring high interest rates first is smart,” Chris says. “The downside to not paying off your mortgage in full is that you’ll continue to payinterest. You’ll also have to pay the ongoing fees for your home loan account.” Chris says leaving a small balance in your home loan account and speaking with your broker or lender about switching to an interest only loan means you’ll potentially pay a minimal amount each month, but if life serves you a curveball, and it undoubtedly will, you can easily use the equity in your home.&rdqu

Phil speaks with Professor Aiden Warren, US Political Expert, School of Global, Urban & Social Studies, RMIT University, about whether the Trump-Musk Big Beautiful Bromance truly over? "The only surprise about the very public and bitter end to the unlikely bromance between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, is that it took this long to implode", says Professor Warren. Both men wield enormous power in their respective spheres of influence, both have huge egos, and both have their own social media platforms to disseminate their opinions and to sling arrows, in real-time. For Trump, Musk’s threat to “fire all politicians who betrayed the American people” in next year’s midterm elections will be concerning him and the Republican party who have revelled in his past support. For Musk, the fallout will mostly be financial, with billions of dollars of government contracts on the line, and Tesla shares in freefall after the feud exploded online. What happens next between Trump and Mu
