Over the weekend, Prince Andrew announced he’s giving up his royal title, the Duke of York, after allegations linking him to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continue to cause controversy worldwide. 

Now, police in London have confirmed they‘re “actively” looking into recent media reports claiming Andrew attempted to use his access as a member of the royal family to ‘dig up dirt’ on his alleged victim, Virginia Giuffre.

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
