    I used to look forward to Anton Savage on the weekend-not anymore.

    Lack-lustre. Uninspired topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Never Have I Ever... Written A Book
Q: How do you navigate sharing family truths in memoirs?
You have to assess your family's consent and potential impact, and be clear that memoir is your reconstruction of experience, not an exact record of others' experiences.
Never Have I Ever... Written A Book
Q: Why do people feel they have a book in them, and what holds them back?
People often want to be seen and heard, but the leap to write a memoir or book is blocked by fear, vulnerability, and how much of their story they're willing to expose, balanced against responsibility to family.
Forever chemicals linked to faster biological ageing in men
Q: So what are PFASs, please?
PFASs are a large family of synthetic chemicals, numbering around 15,000, characterized by strong carbon-fluorine bonds that make them highly persistent in the environment and in the human body, hence the term 'forever chemicals.'
US & Israel attack Iran: What we know so far
Q: What public sentiment will there be in Israel regarding this military operation?
There is significant support in Israel for this military operation, but much depends on the outcome.
US & Israel attack Iran: What we know so far
Q: Do you think boots on the ground are ruled out at this point?
Yes, because of domestic opposition and historical context regarding foreign interventions.
