In this episode, former Kyle and Jackie O radio show content director, radio exec and now co-host of the Game Changers Radio podcast Craig Bruce discusses the recent turmoil between Kyle and Jackie O, exploring whether it was orchestrated or a natural fallout.

Was it a stunt? Was that record breaking contract the beginning of the end? And did Jackie O leave after death by a thousand cuts from a co-host who is known for cutting or did she even plan on leaving at all?

And in headlines today, Five Iranian women's soccer team members have sought asylum in Australia; Israel has said that they will immediately target the new Iranian leader for assassination; Princess Eugenie has stood down as the patron for Anti Slavery International amid her father's controversies; A study shows the transition from primary to high school the most dangerous time for mental health issues linked to being online; Ben Tudhope has won Australia's first Winter Paralympic medal in Milano Cortina, taking silver in the snowboard cross
