The Search for T5

Narelle Grech was a teenager when she first discovered that she'd been conceived using donor sperm. As her shock turned to deep curiosity, Narelle decided — she had to meet this man. All she has to go on is his donor code, T5. It leads her on a search that spans two decades, take her across continents and results in a landmark law that allows donor-conceived people to learn the identity of their donor — and vice versa. Thanks to the ABC's Damien Carrick and Sarah Dingle for the use of archival interviews in this episode.

The First Computer Was Greek (And Shipwrecked)

Over a hundred years ago, some divers jumped into the Mediterranean to look for sponges. Instead, they found ancient treasures. Artefacts, statues, jewellery. And a corroded piece of bronze. Little did they know that lump of metal would be the most valuable of the lot. Ancient Greek cultural historian Dr Tatiana Bur from the Australian National University tells Marc Fennell (Stuff The British Stole) the story of the Antikythera mechanism. From how it was salvaged from the ocean floor, to being called the world’s first computer and how it’s transformed our understanding of ancient civilisations and technology.
