Is breathwork worth the hype? World Cup controversy + antisemitism on campus
About this episode
The episode explores the effectiveness of breathwork, discusses antisemitism on campuses, and covers the ongoing World Cup controversy and Middle East tensions.
Have you ever tried breathwork? It's a wellness trend that's been gaining traction, with claims it can reduce stress and improve sleep. But does it actually work? Plus, we hear about the fourth block of the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion where Jewish university students and staff have given evidence of their lived experience on Australian university campuses. And, the World Cup controversy continues after a video assistant referee decision sparked outrage, with Switzerland's coach saying it "destroyed the game". We unpack what happened. Also, tensions in the Middle East remain high as the US and Iran argue over who has control over the Strait of Hormuz - and whether it's open or closed.
