Dr Karl On The Electric Car Fire Myth, Plus Iran, UK Politics and Truckie Tuesday
Bonafide with Luke BonaShow Notes
This week on Bonafide: Dr Karl joins Luke to bust the biggest myth in the electric-vs-petrol car debate, walks through why nuclear reactors have to be abandoned after about 50 years, and explains why coal ash is radioactive. Sky News' Jonathan Kearsley checks in on the escalating Iran/US conflict and the flow-on risk to petrol prices here, and Channel 7's Ben Downie breaks down Britain's fifth Prime Minister in five years, Andy Burnham, and what's left of Brexit's promise. Plus a listener's own housing crisis, a very silly debate about chicken salt, and Truckie Tuesday with Rod Hannifey and regular co-host Belinda Hughes — dash-cam law, demerit-point myths across the states, and a sobering discussion of a fatal crash on the Hume Highway alongside the road-safety-investigation case it raises.
⚠ This episode includes discussion of a fatal traffic incident and an active international military conflict. Listener discretion advised. Support: Lifeline 13 11 14

He went through the phone book to find her. Greg also reveals where Dexter the robot lives now, and he and Luke swap the songs from the 3XY and 2SM days they reckon you need to hear.
