In Politics: (7:17) The US has a new boogeyman to be fake-scared about and he's potentially going to become Mayor of New York City. Say hello to Zohran Mamdani (Article By Nathan J. Robinson)

In Society: (21:13) Last year, I covered the youth uprisings in Kenya. So I thought it'd be a good time to revisit the story and throw in some context for good measure. (Article By Wandia Njoya & Mordecai Ogada)

In the 1st of two Life segments: (38:47) The concept of a 'Digital Nomad' was something enticing considering it was popularised in the aftermath of COVID. But now that its been a few years, the idyllic essence of the life has worn off a bit. (Article By Emily Bratt)

Lastly, in the 2nd Life topic: (55:29) If you go to certain parts of London, you will find people that reside in boats where the perception of them are something like "weird, nonconformist". But maybe there are realistic benefits to living in a boat? (Article By Polly Clark)
