THE SHAKEUP: Losing physical media, Art vs graffiti + Telstra outage
About this episode
Millions of Aussies got caught up in Telstra's outage this week, affecting emergency calls, payments and transport. So, how prepared are we for major comms disruptions, and would you keep an emergency stash of cash lying around?
Also, Playstation is saying bye to physical game discs from 2028, with Grand Theft Auto VI only released digitally for now. Gamers worldwide are lamenting the loss of physical media.
And, the latest Pam the Bird graffiti stunt stopped traffic and ended in an arrest. What's the line between art and vandalism?
Host Dave Marchese is joined by artist Aretha Brown and journalist Marty Smiley.
