  • Something is broken

    I absolutely love the show, listening to deep dive and headlines every day. But something is broken around the episodes of the deep dive. If I pause or close my app mid show the episode goes into meltdown. Skips to ads, ends mid sentence, starts again. It’s unpredictable. No other podcasts have this problem except this one.

  • Zionist bias

    As a long time listener and usually a massive fan I have been extremely disappointed with TDA failure to provide impartial coverage of the genocide in Gaza

    Clearly a strongly Jewish / Zionist bias which is entirely inappropriate for Australia

The dangers of strangulation during sex

Experts cite overseas studies and a local longitudinal study indicating rising exposure and use among youth, but emphasize that official police statements may lag behind media reports.
Mitch Brown on the AFL, a year after coming out
Q: What motivated Mitch to come out at that time?
He was seeking to tell his story publicly after years of homophobic incidents around him, believing that speaking out could help others and foster a safer environment in football.
Is the property market actually crashing?
