Our interview last week with ARN CEO Michael Stephenson and Chief Audience and Content Officer Lauren Joyce was our most talked about episode ever. This week we take one last look at ARN's plans and messaging for 2026 and respond to your feedback on the conversation that almost went sideways.

Also this week - we'll take our first look at how the radio network wars of 2026 might play out as KIIS and NOVA prepare to go head to head for the hearts and minds of Australians under 40.
