ABC Radio Melbourne set a goal to raise $250,000 for SecondBite during November as part of ABC Gives.

Victoria, you turned up in spades. Thanks to you, we managed to raise more than $590,000 for SecondBite. That money will go towards generating up to 2.9 million meals for Australians in need. We couldn’t have done it without you.

From music legends to acclaimed playwrights, The Friday Revue has hosted its fair share of gifted guests. It was a hard ask, but Jacinta Parsons and Brian Nankervis have managed to narrow down a whole year of radio to their five favourite moments from 2023.

Former AFL player Shane Tuck was 38 years old when he took his own life.

After his death, the Australian Sports Brain Bank found that Tuck had the most severe case of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) that they had ever seen. CTE is associated with repeated head trauma.

Sister Renee Tuck spoke to Raf Epstein on Mornings about Coroner John Cain’s findings into Shane’s death.

Parks Victoria wants visitors to Wilsons Promontory to keep an ear out for the sounds of vulnerable frog species. Dr Mark Norman from Parks Victoria told Trevor Chappell on Afternoons that frog calls come in all shapes and sizes.

Trifles don’t need to be a soggy mess. This trifle leans on a light ricotta cream, green tea jelly and store-bought pandoro for a fun and summery version of this Christmas favourite.
