| 8/28/26 |  The Nepal disaster, Meta’s big settlement, and Dolly Parton’s legacy | This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Kate Watson. We're starting in Nepal, where an avalanche near the border with Tibet triggered a catastrophic flood down a valley popular with trekkers and pilgrims. Hundreds are dead and many more are missing, including Australians. We'll take you through how it happened, and why the early warning systems didn't do their job. Then to Meta, which has settled a multi-billion dollar lawsuit over claims its platforms harmed young people. Claire's retail corner returns - she’ll explain how Ooshies and Sumo mandarins factored into Woolworths’ massive profits. And Dolly Parton died this week, aged 80. We look at her musical legacy, her sharp business instincts, and how she managed to stay beloved on both sides of American politics.

| 8/21/26 |  The Sydney Swans allegations, and a cancer vaccine breakthrough | This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Kate Watson. We're starting with the Sydney Swans and sexual assault allegations. We’ll walk you through the chain of events, and the responses to that. Then, the week in Aussie politics, including the Israeli ambassador being summoned to parliament over the decision not to criminally investigate the death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankom. We’ll cover Harry and Meghan moving back to the UK. And we’ve also got a genuinely hopeful story for you - an exciting medical breakthrough in cancer research.

| 8/14/26 |  The housing downturn, Trump’s plane switch, melons and smelters | This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Eliza Harvey. We’re starting this week with the housing market, which, after all, is our national pastime. This week saw some heavyweights give us their take on where things are at and where it might be going. Donald Trump has delivered an executive order on vaccinations, linking vaccines to rates of autism. He also confirmed a ruse to ensure he was removed from the risk of being shot down in Air Force One. And, we’ll explain why melons and smelters have been the focus in Aussie politics this week.

| 8/7/26 |  Understanding the Russia-Ukraine drone strikes | This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Kate Watson. We thought it was time to get you caught up on what’s going on with the Russia-Ukraine war, including the drone strikes making headlines this week. Bird flu (the bad strain) has unfortunately reached our shores, Jet Star has a new baggage policy that’s got chins wagging, and there’s some interesting threads to pull out of the latest NAPLAN results.
