Ricki‑Lee & Tim

We’re sharing the stories that make you say “I swear that actually happened”, and things get pretty wild when we start talking about things falling off ships! One listener reveals how her mum caught her two-year-old brother mid-air after a huge wave nearly swept him off a cargo ship, while another tells us about a mechanic who used a lighter to check if he’d killed a huntsman with fly spray. Spoiler: the spider disappeared, but so did his eyebrows and a fair bit of his hair! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re finding out what gives Sydney-siders the postcode pain, and apparently nothing gets people more fired up than someone else’s parking habits!

We’re celebrating a win for parents, with NSW Premier Chris Minns announcing families will no longer have to fork out for laptops for kids at school. But while plenty of parents are cheering, one teacher calls in to explain why she thinks the decision could create a whole new set of problems in the classroom. We hear both sides of the screen-time debate, from the cost of replacing broken laptops to whether kids are actually better off learning with a good old-fashioned pencil and paper!
