    Today on Talking Zeds we'll be covering TEDxBrisbane 2026. We heard vox pops from members of the audience recorded at a community radio activation space (staffed by fabulous 4ZZZ and 4EB vollies, Maya, Bridget and Mack).
    Heather (a speaker at this year's TEDxBrisbane) also interviews another speaker Kate Fisher. Kate is a health sociologist and global blood donation advocate. She is the founder of Milkshakes for Marleigh, a movement addressing critical blood shortages by amplifying the voices of blood recipients, and making visible the impact of anonymous donors.
    In other words, Kate's a deadset legend!
