    Great show with interesting and thought provoking topics. The host’s interruptive interviewing style and urge to monologue is annoying though.

Finance Feature: Share trading 101 – breaking down the language of the stock market
Q: So Mike, because this is 101, we're going to start at the very, very basics. What is the stock market?
The stock market is a platform where buyers and sellers trade shares, with the JSE as a prime example, functioning transparently, under regulation, and with safeguards for investors.
Parenting and Parents: 2026 Sober Pregnancies Report - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Q: Doctor, can you explain how fetal alcohol spectrum disorder differs from the older term FAS and why the spectrum matters?
FASD encompasses a range of conditions caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, not just the most severe fetal alcohol syndrome; recognizing it as a spectrum helps us understand that effects can be varied and lifelong, and that there isn't a single cure, which emphasizes the need for broad prevention and support.
