For more than 20 years, Adam Shand has asked detectives across Australia: has a psychic ever genuinely helped solve a crime?

In this episode, Adam speaks with Richard Saunders from Australian Skeptics about the $100,000 prize awaiting anyone who can prove they possess psychic abilities under controlled conditions. The money is real—but can anybody pass the test?

Together, they examine the claims made by psychics, the techniques that can make their predictions seem convincing, and why families and investigators may turn to the supernatural when conventional leads have run out.

More than one in three Australians—37 per cent—say they would support bringing back the death penalty. But supporting an execution in principle is very different from carrying one out.In today’s From the Desk, Adam asks the uncomfortable question: if the state is permitted to take a life in our name, who must bear the burden of actually doing it? Would those demanding the ultimate punishment be prepared to enter the execution chamber, carry out the sentence—and live with having taken another person’s life?
