Exiled Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar says the Russia-Ukraine war is far from over. He believes Vladimir Putin is prolonging the conflict to fuel propaganda and silence critics. This week on The Yarn, we’re sharing Zygar’s 2025 AN Smith Lecture—Journalism Against Autocracy. Addressing a sold-out audience at Melbourne University, Zygar recounts covering Putin’s Russia for more than two decades. He also discusses attacks on press freedom, coming out as gay in a deeply homophobic society, and why his new home in the United States is giving him “déjà vu”.

On the surface, the University of Melbourne is a historical spectacle – with its grand arches, stone facades, echoing hallways, and the chimes of the old clocktower. But this university is also home to many secrets, from human remains unearthed on university grounds, to its role in nuclear testing on Indigenous lands. In an eight-part series, students from the Centre for Advancing Journalism explore the university’s hidden past, revealing stories that reach beyond iconic buildings and the names they bear. We dive into the colonial legacies tied to these structures, the injustice they represent, and the multicultural narratives that push back against this history. This series is about truth-telling—illuminating the foundations on which this our university is built. Join us as we unearth the stories that have been buried for far too long.

The protesters were set to pack up and go home — but only if the university sent an email confirming the agreement to all staff and students. Today, that email didn’t arrive (although the university has updated its research transparency page).

The number 19 tramline is Melbourne’s backbone, taking passengers all the way from Coburg north to Flinders Street Station. Our new series, Tram Tales, shares the stories and struggles of people who, live, work, and travel along this central artery. For our first episode, we're focusing on an issue that’s top of mind for most Australians — the cost-of-living crisis. Energy, housing, and food costs have skyrocketed, the price of bread is up 24% since 2021, and many are barely getting by. A recent New York Times article even said happy-go-lucky Australia is feeling neither happy nor lucky. So we’re investigating how people along route 19 are coping. Featuring reporting by James Worsfold, Yibo Meng, Yingyu Liu, and Elliot Rodriguez. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

In the days of hunter-gatherers, social exclusion meant certain death. Humans have evolved with a primal need for belonging — and we still suppress our differences so we can fit in. But what happens when we buck this trend? This week, we’re bringing you stories about embracing our differences. It’s the sixth episode of Not Natural, a series about the tension between the natural and the artificial. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students. Featuring stories by Amelia Davies, Adeline Johnston, Eleanor Dean, and Alexander McGuire.

Not Natural: Disrupting Decline 16:05

According to an old urban myth, a frog suddenly dropped in boiling water will instantly leap out to safety. But if the water is tepid and gradually heated, the oblivious frog will slowly boil to death. This process is a metaphor for human psychology — especially when it comes to ecological decline. Over time, gradual changes can make unprecedented catastrophes feel normal . This week, we’re bringing you stories about revolutionary attempts to reverse these abnormalities — from resurrecting extinct species to unlearning the colonial mindset. It’s the fifth episode of Not Natural, a series about the tension between the natural and the artificial. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students. Featuring stories by Fergus Sinnot, James Italia-Prasad, Liliana Jaques, and Zuva Goverwa.

Every day, our brains take cognitive shortcuts. Our limited time and attention make it easy to fall back on familiar biases. Among the most deeply ingrained is the assumption that “natural” always means “healthier”. This week, we’re interrogating this idea with stories about “natural” and synthetic remedies. It’s the fourth episode of Not Natural, a series about the tension between the natural and the artificial. These stories were produced for the Science Gallery’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students. Featuring stories by Harriet Thorpe, Ruby Clayton Dowling, Holly Larkspur and Meagan Hansen.

In the throes of addiction, people can enter a time warp. The clock seemingly stops when cravings are met and dopamine floods the brain. But I’m not talking about drugs. I’m talking about social media. Heavy users can squander hours per day on TikTok binges. And the App’s developers see this as a feature, not a flaw. This week, we’re bringing you stories about how social media is rewiring our brains and reshaping real life. It’s the third episode of Not Natural, a series about our ability to control nature. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students.

Social media feeds can make Botox and fillers seem as commonplace as getting a haircut. On TikTok alone, the plastic surgery hashtag has 22 billion views. Is this newfound acceptance democratising beauty, or making beauty obligatory? And who gets to decide what counts as beautiful? This week, we’re binging you stories about our increasingly narrow beauty standards. It’s the second episode of Not Natural, a series about our ability to control nature. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students.

There’s this phrase God Mode that was born out of the gaming world. It refers to a notorious cheat code in the 1993 shooter game, Doom. Once activated, a player becomes invincible and vanquishes opponents with ease. Nowadays, God mode is a slang term for achieving superhuman feats in real life, and in our era of artificial intelligence and cybernetic implants, it’s becoming more and more pertinent. This week, we’re bringing you stories that delve into this issue – asking whether AI should continue an artist’s legacy after death and how medical breakthroughs and cloning can improve nature. It’s the first episode of Not Natural, a series about the friction between what we consider natural and artificial. These stories were made for the Science Gallery which has just opened its new exhibition — Not Natural. Go and see it now to explore de-extinction, see live jellyfish, and duck from a machete-wielding houseplant. Featuring stories by Annie Siriphattrasophon, Kaspar Vissar, Jemma Mitchell, and Ainsley Paton. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Since July, the cost of living crisis has gotten a whole lot worse for international students. Thanks to the reinstatement of pre-pandemic work restrictions, their maximum working hours have been limited to 24 hours per week. Experts call it a return to "normal", but those facing financial peril say otherwise. This week, Wuxi Fan talks to three students whose lives have been turned upside down by this U-turn.
