Introducing season seven of ‘What Happens Next?’

The wait’s over – Monash University’s What Happens Next? podcast returns with another season of pressing questions and deep conversations.

In the podcast’s seventh season, join host Dr Susan Carland as she asks the experts what the future will look like if we don’t change our trajectory on global issues, and what we can do now to shape the future we want. 

Featuring in-depth interviews with academic experts and public thought leaders, this season of What Happens Next? explores a wide range of challenges facing our world today – focus, the future of food, critical minerals, language, reproductive health, and NFTs and art.

In time for Victoria’s state election, the season also features a live recording of “Hear Her Roar”, a panel discussion covering the issues women – and their allies – need to consider as the polls open.

Season seven also features a stellar lineup of expert guests, including world-leading Monash University researchers such as Professor Mark Bellgrove, Director of Research at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health; plant scientist Professor Ros Gleadow; Chair of General Practice Professor Danielle Mazza; and more.

Additional notable guests this season include bestselling author Timber Hawkeye, social justice advocate Inala Cooper, SecondBite co-founder Ian Carson AM, artist Josh Drummond, among others.
