Hi, Kylie Morris here.
On Thursday evening I told the Global Roaming team, "hopefully it'll be an easier Friday than usual". An hour later, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested.
It was seismic. It was the first arrest of a senior modern royal and then came an extraordinary statement from King Charles that made the moment feel even more unprecedented. Latika's phone in London was ringing off the hook.
We knew we had to talk about it, and acknowledge the women, like Virginia Giuffre, who were victimised by Epstein. We jumped straight into the studio and recorded an emergency episode of Global Roaming, unpacking what this could mean for the future of the monarchy and where the shock waves might land next.
Global Roaming isn't alone in providing informative content to our listeners on ABC Radio National this week.
Late Night Live headed underground, literally, to weigh up the promises and pitfalls of green burials. While the idea that your body is contributing to the growth of a tree or the richness of soil is attractive, David Marr asked: How green are green burials, really?
The Law Report asked whether Australia's right to protest was quietly being eroded through new restrictions, harsher policing, and laws targeting political slogans.
And Life Matters brought in the experts to ask what mandatory health-star ratings would actually change at the supermarket, and whether that's even enough.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend.
