22 SEP. 2026 · The US has confirmed that it has weapons in space, although it hasn't explained what kind. So let's do an episode on space with space archaeologist Dr Alice Gorman aka Dr Space Junk and astrophysicist Rami Mandow. What a shallow excuse!
In this episode we also discuss how planets and asteroids and their features get their names, Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0437-4715, whether alien civilisations are hiding in Moon dust, the Bepicolombo mission to Mercury, and much more.

26 JUL. 2026 · A few weeks ago I went to Newcastle, the Australian one, and spent some time chatting with the voice of Newcastle herself, Carol Duncan OAM. She was ABC Radio's morning presenter for quite some years, then she was a city councillor, and she does a lot of other things too.
In this episode we discuss her Medal of the Order of Australia and her status as a Freeman of the City of Newcastle. Also, her time in the music industry, chocolate and other confectionary, and the sheer sexual magnetism of Queensland politician Bob Katter.

2 JUL. 2026 · I like trains. Do you like trains? I hope so, because today we’re talking about trains. There’s a strong focus on China and on high-speed trains, and our guest on the internet from Beijing is Chinese-Swiss international rail visionary, it says on his YouTube channel, David Feng.
In this episode we discuss China’s high-speed rail network and some of the country’s metros. But we also cover high-speed rail in other countries, why Australia doesn’t have any (yet), signalling, food, and more.
If you’re interested in maybe meeting up with David and me in Sydney on 14 June, please https://the9pmedict.com/trains by Wednesday 8 July.

17 JUN. 2026 · Today's episode is a bit different. It's more personal. I, Stilgherrian, was born in Gawler, South Australia, and lived there from ages 11 to about 17. Last year I visited the town with my good friend Snarky Platypus, and he asked me some pertinent questions.
In this episode, there's memories of school, some history of Gawler, a rambling chat about science fiction and fantasy, television, music, and much more — including the true story of Australia's favourite condiment, chicken salt.
The core material for this podcast was recorded on 29 June 2025.
