[edit] Segments

The show usually has a guest in the first hour, including a large portion of the time set for audience talkback. The second hour also has guests, but without a talkback section. "What The Papers Say" is on at 11:35 pm, where the major Australian newspapers share their main stories for the next day with listeners. The third hour usually involves "The Challenge", while the fourth hour includes another chance for audience feedback in the "Issue of the Day", followed by a book reading.

In 2007 the popular "Not the Nightly News" segment was axed without notice.
