    When Technology and Tourism Start Going Too Far

    This week on What’s the Focus, we look at two very different stories connected by the same underlying question about excess. First, we examine the dangerous overcrowding on Mount Everest, where extreme tourism is turning one of the harshest environments on Earth into a high-altitude traffic jam. Then we explore how Google is transforming Search into an AI-driven conversational platform that could fundamentally change how people interact with information online. And later, a cautionary tale shows how easily digital tools, fake investment platforms, and the promise of easy money can blur the line between convenience and deception.

    When the Real Winners Aren’t Who You Expect

    This week on What’s the Focus, we look at two stories where the real story sits beneath the headline. In India, a cola war between billion-dollar beverage giants is unexpectedly fuelling a boom in commercial refrigerators, turning cold storage into the new battleground for market dominance. Meanwhile closer to home, a bizarre story about retaliatory crows opens up a surprisingly fascinating conversation about how urban wildlife is adapting to life alongside humans and what happens when animals stop behaving like animals and start behaving more like neighbours.

    The World, A Little Unhinged

    In our list this week, talk about removing US President Donald Trump has grown louder, and it is cutting across both sides of the political divide, including with the MAGA rightwing faithful. But getting the 25th Amendment isn’t going to be easy. Then we get up to speed with what’s happening to the crew of the Artemis II who splash down this weekend. And finally we look at what’s happening or what’s not happening with the FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights. The games kick off on June 11th, just two months away and we still don’t know which broadcaster will be carrying the matches. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
