Mike speaks to Lisa Segelov, Advocate & Notary based in Tel Aviv, to discuss Israeli reactions to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s recognition of a Palestinian state. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has branded Albanese a “weak” leader who has “forever tarnished” his reputation. The tensions escalated further after Australia cancelled a visa for far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman, sparking a week of diplomatic sparring between the two governments. *Lisa is an Australian born lawyer and Israeli citizen.  Lisa lives about 30 minutes north of Tel Aviv and has two sons and a daughter in the Israeli military.  She also knew people killed in the appalling October 7th terror attack by Hamas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike speaks with Amanda Lambros, relationship counsellor and bestselling author of Will the Future of Sex Be Bleak for Women?, to discuss what it’s like being single over 40, whether men have it just as tough, and if “all the good ones are really gone.” With experts claiming men don’t make the effort, focus on younger women, or simply vanish from the dating pool, Amanda weighs in on whether the problem is numbers, attitudes, or just unrealistic expectations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike is joined by futurist Skeeve Stevens, to discuss the amount of personal data compiled in an individual's dark web dossier. Criminal hacking groups, such as ShinyHunters, steal data from various breaches and collect it on the dark web to create detailed profiles on individuals. These dossiers enable comprehensive profiling and make it easier for criminals to execute credential stuffing attacks. The personal data of Australians is becoming increasingly detailed in these dossiers, with information compiled from major breaches at companies like Optus, Medibank, Qantas, Equifax, and iiNet, as well as various super funds and government agencies. Soon, these dossiers will contain even more information about you than you might know about yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike is joined by Conflict Strategist and Mediator Sarah Blake, to discuss why acts of kindness seem to be so rare they've become newsworthy. The conversation was sparked by a postman who made headlines for an act of kindness, highlighting that we are more accustomed to stories of conflict and entitlement. Blake suggests that the antidote is simple: kindness, generosity, and support offered without expecting anything in return. She believes that if everyone made a little extra effort and shared their stories of gratefulness, it could create a more positive community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
