Listen to Spin Cycle: Esther Anatolitis & Nick Pickard on AI and creative copyright01:00:0028 August 2025

Rachel is back in the studio with Jess and Charlie, and they are joined by Esther Anatolitis. The four discuss the news stories of the week - including the productivity commission, the revelations about Iran’s involvement in anti-semitic attacks in Australia, Linda Reynolds’ defamation win against Brittany Higgins, and the media response to the police killings in Porepunkah.

They also interview Nick Pickard from APRA AMCOS to discuss the real threat posed to Australian writers and creators if AI companies are given free reign to steal their work.
