In Culture: (11:49) With the Trump victory settling into us like a shit we just took going back up inside us, women in the US are looking to South Korea for a way to upend the patriarchy. It's called "4B" and if I'm being real... It won't work. (Article By Constance Grady)
In Politics: (30:11) Something that has annoyed me during the Palestinian Genocide is Israel's "Right to exist". But does any state have the right to exist? (Article By Moncef Khane)
In Environment: (40:09) Another year, another COP is going down, this time in Baku, Azerbaijan. But the irony is not lost on me that private jets are used to go to a LITERAL CONFERENCE ABOUT THE CLIMATE. (Article By Damian Carrington)
Lastly, in Science: (50:56) A Scientist with a returning breast cancer diagnoses took matters into her own hands and used experimental treatments to cure herself. Whilst she succeeded, it has raised up an often talked-about subject in science: the ethics of self-experimentation. (Article By Zoe Corbyn)
