But, in keeping with this years Radiothon circus theme, the show must go on. And so Monday Long Grass Sessions will now be piloted, for the interim at least, by the fabulous Donna Morabito and radiant Kulja Coulson. This week however, it's still business as usual, with Nicole and Gill providing some sorely needed relief to hayfever sufferers everywhere. Caller topics include the effects of diesel fumes, morning sickness late into pregnancy and other hayfever related issues. |

All about engineering - we chat to Professor Iven Mareels, Dean of Engineering at the University of Melbourne. What is engineering and how is it applied to problems like water usage and distribution? Worms flee from the vibrations from worm-eating moles, and fishermen can exploit this to collect worms as bait. Also, the physics of knotted mp3 player earphones cords, tweaking memory formation in mice, how to go about writing your thesis and manuscripts, and the history and chemistry of stainless steel.

This episode features Philippe Petit- a documentary about his infamous walk between the World Trade Centre's Twin Towers in 1974 has been released and he answers the Breakfasters' questions about the history-making event. Listeners had the chance to stump the team earlier in the week in a 'Dead or Alive?' quiz - a successful, if not slightly depressing call-in. We'll also hear Birdman Goes Wild- this week we get an insight into what it's like to go on a twitching tour with Mr Dooley. |

Gerard has slipped poison into the coffee and gets the show all to himself this week. Thankfully Dave Thornton calls in from RMITV's Studio A to talk about the glamour of life as a Channel 31 star, and Impro Melbourne's Ric Browne and Jamie Robertson come trick or treating with Theatresports' Halloween special.
