Israel and Hamas have entered another round of negotiations on a ceasefire deal proposed by the U.S. The fresh negotiations are being held soon after the second anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel, and a few weeks after a UN committee found Israel is carrying out a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. In today’s episode, we’ll explain what to know about the latest round of talks, and the U.S’s involvement. 

Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Billi FitzSimons

In today's episode we look back at the second half our interview with former West Coast Eagles player Mitch Brown. Until this interview, in 129 years of the AFL, no male player, past or present, had ever publicly identified as gay or bisexual. That changed with former West Coast Eagles player Mitch Brown. In this episode we ask Mitch what he expects of the AFL in response to his story, as well as his advice for the next generation of young boys.

Listen to our follow-up episode, Ozempic's mental health warning, here. 

In part three, we examine how social media is reshaping the Ozempic conversation, from influencer endorsements to rising tensions around body image, shame, and access. We explore the cultural divide that’s emerging on and offline, and what it reveals about diet culture in 2025.

Note: We've changed the names of some of the people you'll hear from in this episode. These sources are known to TDA, but we've kept some of their personal details private to protect their identity. 

Support resources: For 24/7 crisis support, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For eating disorder support, help is available through the Butterfly Foundation online or over the phone on 1800 ED HOPE. 

Host and producer: Emma Gillespie 
Guests: Dr Michael Bonning, Dr Emma Beckett, and Varsha Yajman
