June 12th marks the second anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida in the United States. We speak to Jess Innes-Irons about her research into Australian’s reactions via social media to the Pulse nightclub shooting and remember those who were tragically taken and injured.

We also head to the launch of the #WEAREPRIDECUP campaign, promoting diversity and inclusion in regional football teams around Australia. We speak to Pride Cup Australia co-founders James Lolicato and Jason Ball, VicHealth’s Stefan Grun and some of the players about Pride Cups and why they are so important.
