In this episode we also discuss how planets and asteroids and their features getbtheir names, Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0437-4715, whether alien civilisations are hiding in Moon dust, the Bepicolombo mission to Mercury, and much more.

The 9pm Smoke and Durianomics with Erin Cook
This is the first episode of the Spring Series 2026, and we're kicking things off with one of our more popular guests, journalist Erin Cook, who covers South-East Asia. Today we're talking about the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and more.
Erin produces the excellent newsletter Dari Mulut ke Mulut, an English-language summary of what's happening in the region, and an occasional newsletter specifically on the Australia-Indonesia relationship, Flat White, Kopi Susu. She also cohosts the Reformasi Dispatch podcast on Indonesian politics, policymaking, justice, and economics.
In this episode we discuss the ongoing political dramas in the Philippines, the economics of durian, why Thailand is getting sick of tourists and especially tourists from Israel, the volcanoes and land-clearing smoke haze coming from Indonesia. We even have some solid life advice.

The 9pm Clacton and On and On with David F Porteous
Odd things have been happening in the UK, so it's time once more to chat with Scottish author and social researcher David F Porteous.
In this episode we discuss Barnaby Joyce's claim that One Nation is "one of the gayest parties in Australia", the early days of social media, maths, physics, shrinkflation, and of course last week's Clacton by-election which returned Nigel Farage to parliament.
