The working world has been accustomed to the five-day workweek for over a century with the typical schedule of at least forty hours per week, Monday through Friday.
A lot has changed in recent years with workers demanding more flexibility and options in an ever-changing and developing society—including the introduction of a four-day workweek that allows for more personal time and less feelings of burnout.
However, can we as a society make this change function after so many years of following the standard five-day workweek? Will workers continue to be as productive?
Join us today as we discuss the ever-growing movement for the four-day workweek from its challenges to the positive benefits that it could provide.

In a world full of vices such as alcohol and gambling, certain governments have been developing plans to limit the damage of these vices, especially among young people. One of the biggest vices—tobacco—has come into the forefront of debate of health, modernization, and personal rights in the form of a newly proposed tobacco ban.
New Zealand’s government has recently announced plans to enact a tobacco ban for the youth of their population with the goal of having fewer than five percent of their citizens smoking by 2025.
While in theory, a cleaner and healthier society is of course a good idea, but at what cost?
Join us for today’s episode of the podcast as we discuss New Zealand’s ambitious and controversial smoking ban and whether we think it is actually possible to implement and succeed.

A cold case is a crime, or a suspected crime, that has not yet been fully resolved and is not the subject of a current criminal investigation, but for which new information could emerge from new witness testimony, re-examined files, new evidence, or even fresh activities of a suspect. These cases often go unsolved for many years with the families of the victims never finding closure and always wondering what happened to their loved ones.
These cases are often very present and well-known in popular culture in the case of Netflix series, movies, and other forms of entertainment and seem to capture the interest of everyday people despite the sad and unfortunate details of the case itself.
In today’s episode, we are joined by a cold-case fan and good friend, Kathleen Chenery, to discuss a few well-known cold cases and what we think could be the missing links to solve them once and for all.
