The child held captive for 3,096 days

In Vienna, on March 2, 1998, a 10-year-old girl stands in front of her house's door. Today is a big day for her, as for the first time in her life, her parents allow her to go to school on her own. She makes her way through the apartment buildings, continuing toward her school, passing through a residential neighborhood. Her attention is drawn to a white delivery van, which stands out in this landscape. A man stands near the vehicle, lost in thought. An inner voice whispers for her to move away, change the sidewalk, flee. But it's already too late...

It doesn’t take a genius to realise that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the relationship many white-collar employees have with work. And that’s particularly true when it comes to remote work; which some of them now see as a non-negotiable. And a lot of other employees have made it clear they don’t want to return to full-time office life.

Nevertheless, many CEOs were keen to get their staff back into the office once the pandemic started to ease. Some companies ended up coming to hybrid arrangements as a kind of compromise. That’s still not enough for some though and it has led to signs of retaliation, in the form of trends like quiet quitting or “act your wage” which we’ve talked about in past episodes of Do You Really Know?. Today, we’re talking about coffee badging specifically, which is a kind of hack employees are using to fulfil office day mandates without actually spending too much time in the office.

What does the “badge” part mean? And is it a positive thing? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We talk about sleep needs a lot on Do You Really Know, so regular listeners will be well aware that we need 7-9 hours each day, and that not getting enough can lead to negative health impacts.

Regardless of who you are, when you get less than seven hours of sleep, you start accumulating what’s known as sleep debt or sleep deficit. The Sleep Foundation defines it as: “the difference between the amount of sleep someone needs and the amount they actually get.”

What can I do in the short term if I notice such symptoms? Can’t I just lie in on the weekend? So how can we make up for lost sleep without disrupting our biological clock? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The first black man to become a ballet star

December 1, 1957. New Yorkers hustle through the icy streets of Manhattan. A crowd gathers around a renowned cultural center. Inside, champagne glasses sparkle beneath the grand chandeliers of the entrance hall. However, this luxury struggles to conceal the harsh political reality of the United States. Since the end of slavery, a cruel divide separates the nation between whites and blacks. Tonight, two brilliant artists have joined forces to create a ballet with a scent of revolution: George Balanchine, choreographer, and Igor Stravinsky, composer. Backstage, Balanchine places his hand on the shoulder of his star dancer. Despite the pressure, the young artist remains at ease. He smiles at Balanchine and nods. Slowly, the audience fills the hall, and the curtain rises...

Walking is something we all do every day, but did you know it has numerous health benefits? It’s not just a simple way to get from point A to point B; walking can improve cardiovascular health, boost your mood, and even enhance your overall well-being. According to specialists, it can also help you lose weight under certain conditions. By incorporating regular, brisk walks into your routine, you can take advantage of these benefits and work towards your weight loss goals.

First, you need to walk enough. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least 10,000 steps a day to stay fit and maintain a stable weight. But if your goal is to lose weight, you’ll need to walk more and at a higher intensity. To really shed those pounds, aim to walk at least three times a week for an hour or more at a brisk pace (between 6 and 8 km/h) and maintain a heart rate between 135 and 160 beats per minute.

So, what are those conditions? Is that enough to lose weight? Is one type of walking more effective than another? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The librarian who risked her life for art and freedom

In the early 1900s, as the sun sets over a small house in the United States, a figure emerges in the doorway. It's a young woman, in the prime of her life, her gaze torn between uncertainty and determination. Her eyes are gripped by melancholy as she looks at her mother and sisters. The time has come to leave the family home, to turn her back on her past. The young woman hugs her loved ones, seeking to carry their caresses and laughter in her wounded heart. But destiny calls her elsewhere.

The cost of living crisis has seen food prices increase by as much as 65% according to the Office for National Statistics meaning that the average British household spends an extra £600 pounds a year on food.

But considering that there is also about 4.5 million tonnes of food waste annually the possibility of reducing wasted food as well as bills has never been more needed. Reducing your bill at the checkout comes down largely to planning. Getting organised about how, when and where you buy your food as well as how you store and cook it is essential. For starters buying in bulk can really reduce costs.

How can I reduce the amount I spend on food? How can I reduce my food waste? How can technology help? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

All romantic relationships come with challenges, and one of the biggest hurdles tends to be fidelity. Over the years, there have been a number of studies on the prevalence of cheating, but it’s tricky to know how reliable data from those studies is.

After all, it relies on people owning up to unfaithful behaviour. Generally speaking though, surveys from the likes of YouGov have suggested that around one in five people in the UK have had an affair at some point in their life.

These tiny insects, which reproduce at an astonishing rate, often invade our kitchens. They are particularly attracted to damp areas, stagnant water, organic waste, and ripe fruit—especially in warm weather.

Fruit flies, or midges, can lay up to 100 eggs a day. While studies indicate that flies can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites, the midges in our homes are generally harmless. They can transmit bacteria and minor food-borne viruses, but rarely cause serious diseases. This is reassuring, but it doesn’t mean we want them around!

So, how can you get rid of them? Are they a health hazard? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
