Episode Synopsis

In this episode by journalism students at UNSW, we look at care and vulnerability across very different lives. From young people navigating the dating scene, to female athletes facing higher injury risks; from the quiet work of a mortician preparing the dead with dignity, to growing concern about apps that expose children to exploitation; and the life of a refugee who found safety after fleeing persecution.Different stories…but they all ask the same question: when it matters most, who looks after us?Host: Anoushka IsraniStories:Gen Z dating - Reporter: Ben Tresno TurnerThe Gender Gap in Sports Injuries - Reporter: Kate Arellano The Mortician - Reporter: Eva MatthewsNudify apps - Reporter: Raahat ShaikEscape from Afghanistan - Reporter: Salvatore FrancoProduction:Sound design: Britta JorgensenEpisode Executive Producer: Peter R.
