Until the moment five villagers stuck in a flooded cave for more than a week were rescued, the group had no idea a rescue mission was even afoot.

It's a story with echoes of the famous Thai cave rescue of 2018 - and in fact, some of the same divers are involved. Today, we're taking you through what happened and where things stand.

The race to rescue men in a Laos cave

Today, we're cutting through one of the most confusing conversations young women are navigating right now — fertility testing. There's more information about fertility testing available than ever before. There's also more misinformation. Today, we're working out which is which — and what it actually means for you.

To help us navigate this topic, we're joined by Dr Tessa Copp, a researcher at the University of Sydney who studies how women make decisions about their reproductive health.

This podcast was made possible by our friends over at University of Sydney. However, everything we’re about to talk about was researched and written by us, and the content remains entirely independent.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimons
Guest: Dr Tessa Copp, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney School of Public Health
Producer: Orla Maher
