The Federal Government has announced plans for a local content quota for streaming video services in Australia. Any service with more than one million subscribers will be required to spend a percentage of their revenue on Australian content.

And Hungarian-British author David Szalay has won the 2025 Booker Prize for his latest novel, Flesh. We speak with The Book Show's Sarah L’Estrange about the novel and hear some of her conversation with Szalay.
