Yesterday we saw the first U.S. Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

It was fiery, robust and, at times, very… messy.

It was also very different to the debate we saw between Trump and Biden in June. Then, Trump seemed like the almost certain winner. But now, it’s neck and neck.

If you missed it, or if you’re just here for a debrief, we’ll go through some of the key takeaways in today’s podcast.

Over the past few months, you may have seen headlines that two astronauts are currently stuck in space.

Now to be clear, NASA and Boeing have really tried to deny that these astronauts are stuck or stranded or whatever word you want to use that implies they aren’t able to leave.

But we do know one thing. The two astronauts were only meant to be in space for eight days, but now they will be there for at least eight months.

So how did this all unfold? We are going to get to the bottom of it in today’s deep dive.

The Federal Government said it will enforce minimum age requirements for social media users, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about this proposal. How will it be rolled out and regulated, and above all, will it work? In today’s deep dive, Professor Lisa Given from RMIT takes us through what we know about this latest announcement, and whether it will actually stop young people from using social media.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara Seidler
Guest: Lisa Given, Professor of Information Sciences & Director of RMIT’s Social Change Platform
Producer: Orla Maher

Can you stop children from using social media?

77 years ago, a landmark court ruling introduced the 40-hour work week.  The 1947 decision led to the five-day working week and two-day weekend we know today. Before that, employees were typically expected to work six days a week. Over seven decades later, the landscape has changed dramatically, and there are now conversations about extending the weekend by a day.

Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Zara Seidler
Producer: Orla Maher
