This week, Geraldine takes a dive into the latest concerning road toll figures.

US journalist Seymour Hersh has won prizes and international acclaim for his investigations in the past. But is his latest theory on America blowing up the all-important Nord Stream pipeline a step too far?

And how the TV adaptation of "Fleishman's in Trouble" has left some Manhattan mums wondering if they're in strife, too.

Geraldine has been on an intermittent fasting diet for the past three months.

The 'it' diet had been recommended by many friends and dieticians in the media as the easy, hassle free way to lose weight.

However, over summer, she'd had enough.

The biggest problem was that she wasn't losing weight. But new scientific studies have raised questions about the risks and impact on the body of this method of dieting.

Also this episode, do you feel guilty when you board a plane, given the environmental damage from the emissions? Eliza's says no.

And book recommendations after a summer of reading.

Christmas parties are back and a long, hot summer is on the cards.

Eliza and Geraldine have been wining and dining but Geraldine thinks people are feeling particularly tired this December, more so than previous years. She puts that down to the long tail of COVID disruption and two years of forced adaptation.

Also, facing up to the challenge of the renewable energy transition.

And Eliza's new sporting obsession.

The Far Right Rises in Israel – The Daily
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/podcasts/the-daily/israel-election-benjamin-netanyahu-far-right.html

Geraldine's been focussed on Australia's international diplomacy this week but Eliza's been reading about America.

First it was the surprising midterm election results and then the big correction happening in the tech sector. She thinks that the tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are the 'thought leaders' of this generation because they run media companies where an increasing volume of Australians get their news.

They also discuss Sam Bankman-Fried and his failed crypto exchange FTX.

Also this week, an exploration of whether trauma and infidelity can be passed on through the generations via DNA.

And Eliza's new reading list.
