FULL SHOW: Myanmar earthquake, the gender divide + micro-retirements

Thousands missing, a skyscraper levelled and water gushing from roof-top pools - rescue teams in Myanmar and Thailand are racing against time to save more lives after an earthquake killed at least 1,700 people. And recent elections overseas have seen young men vote increasingly for right-wing leaders while young women move to the left. Will the same happen here? Plus, for young workers struggling with burnout, the thought of eat-sleep-repeating for the next 40+ years can be a punish. Is the solution 'micro-retirement'?

How deep is the gender divide this election?

On May 3, hundreds of thousands of young Australians will be voting in a federal election for the first time. When young men voted in the recent US election, there was a historic shift to Trump and the right. It's a trend other democracies are seeing too: young men drifting to the right, while young women move to the left. So will it happen in Australia?

Are non-compete clauses actually legal?

The Albanese government is planning to ban non-compete clauses. They stop millions of working Aussies from switching jobs or working in their industry for other businesses.

Every morning I listen to the previous days hack episode, then my partner and I talk about it over dinner & it’s become our favourite part of the day- a staple in our house and I love it! Love how Dave talks about serious issues that are relevant to all of us, but breaks it down in and easy to understand way and also never fails to put some laughs in when appropriate. Keep up the awesome work, we love you Dave & the whole Hack team, thanks for being awesome and bringing this podcast together
OLD FORMAT PLEASE

Pleaaaase change it back to the old format. New format is harder to listen too than one full episode.
Bring back the old format

I’m a huge Hack fan and have listened for years, but the new format where stories are uploaded as separate podcasts is a horrible user/ listener experience. When walking/running/driving I just want to listen, not work out what I am up to. Please change it back!
Great podcast

Best enjoyed whilst drunk and self sodomised
Background music too loud

JoelleAntoinette

Great content. But can only give 2 stars as haven’t been able to finish listening to podcast as the background music is too loud and overtakes the talking. Sorry I won’t be listening any more due to this. Don’t recommend podcast - too frustrating to listen too with irritating background music.
Anchor's sound is big and interviewee's sound is small
