  • Too many ads

    I like this PC but unfortunately I’m probably going to ditch it because there’s just too many ads. Especially after listening for about 4 minutes, then 2 or 3 ads! Too much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What the ‘Cornell 7’ tells us about male silence, violence and misogyny
Q: What would make a difference? What would you like to see in that plan?
Chawla calls for funding proportionate to the scale of the problem, trauma-informed and continuing support for victim survivors, and clear accountability for who is responsible, what will be delivered, and when.
What the ‘Cornell 7’ tells us about male silence, violence and misogyny
Q: Tell me about what's been alleged.
A student was allegedly drugged and assaulted by seven male students in a fraternity room after a message was posted to a group chat. Chawla says reports described two students being expelled and others receiving lesser sanctions, while Cornell disputed that account and cited student privacy laws.
Ben Roberts-Smith and the One Nation law change that could impact his trial
Q: What would reverting to the 2002 definition mean for cases like Ben Roberts-Smith?
Reverting could make it easier to argue that individuals who previously qualified as combatants under the older standard should receive the protections, potentially impacting prosecution or defense strategies in Roberts-Smith's case.
Ben Roberts-Smith and the One Nation law change that could impact his trial
Q: So Ben, there is this term in the Australian criminal code, 'order combat'. What does it mean?
It refers to protections for combatants who have surrendered or are under the power of an opposing force, meaning they can't be targeted; changes proposed could affect whether that protection applies under different conditions.
Undercover inside Cuba: The world’s longest-running blockade
Q: How did you manage to get in and stay undercover as you reported?
I traveled under the guise of a tourist, filming with a phone rather than a full camera setup, which allowed me to move around Havana more casually and talk to people in a low-key way.
