TONIGHT ON THE SYDNEYIST: WHERE WILL THEY LIVE ?
Housing shortage is Sydney's issue du jour
But if you have a disability,
Especially an intellectual disability,
Finding somewhere safe to live suddenly gets a whole lot harder.
Businessman and former Australian of the year Glenn Keys AO
is the founder of Project independence, a not-for-profit that provides housing
for people with intellectual disability.
We ask what does this mean, how does it work and how is it different from just another institution?

Impact Studio’s 5th season of History Lab, Listen to Darlinghurst, is a rich community storytelling of Darlinghurst’s layered history. Produced by Catherine Freyne the University of Technology Sydney presents a thrilling podcast series from the Australian Centre for Public History (ACPH), made in partnership with the Paul Ramsey Foundation.
Listen to Darlinghurst, looks into the impacts of Sydney’s ever-changing community, its political history and the evolving culture. In doing so, it recognises the now pedestrian nature of Darlinghurst and addresses its dwindling texture and diversity. The show features a range of past and present voices who have experienced the suburb as it changes with time, including workers, artists, custodians and more.
Tune into Tuesday and Thursday Drive throughout July to hear the podcast series Listen to Darlinghurst.

Eastside Radio 89.7FM album of the week Aire by Magos Herrera is described by critic Carolina Amaruso as "...broad brushed with the ever-fluid notion of jazz, embellished with classical sounds, indigenous traditional, Latin, and jazz spinoff, Bossa nova. Herrera’s deep luxuriant vocals, lending their way equally to all sensibilities, flow frequently into wordless song, allowing Aire to convey both the lightness and heft of air."
