At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. 

  

Basketball: 7/10 

The most popular school sport in the country. Who doesn’t love a pick-up game and a lay-up? 

 

The gang laws: 7/10 

Because they represent a turning of the tide, a restoration of some common sense and some realisation of just how shabby this place had become. 

 

World War III: 3/10 

Let's keep our powder dry, shall we? A missile does not an escalation make. You might remember we are still waiting for Iran to respond in the other war and that was an age ago. 

 

Dairy: 9/10 

If we hit $10, that's a record. What a year, and what a time to have a year. 

 

Glastonbury: 8/10 

Sold out in 35 minutes, costs $700 and you got no idea who's on stage. 

 

Taylor Swift: 3/10 

With an education system like ours in the state it's in, is it really wise to spruik a Taylor Swift course? Is that really your calling card?

remember we're still waiting for Iran to respond in the
other war, and that was ages ago. One thousand days too.
This will end in a salemate. Russia are hopeless at fighting,

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
