FULL SHOW: Myanmar earthquake, the gender divide + micro-retirements


Listen Later

Thousands missing, a skyscraper levelled and water gushing from roof-top pools - rescue teams in Myanmar and Thailand are racing against time to save more lives after an earthquake killed at least 1,700 people. 

And recent elections overseas have seen young men vote increasingly for right-wing leaders while young women move to the left. Will the same happen here?

Plus, for young workers struggling with burnout, the thought of eat-sleep-repeating for the next 40+ years can be a punish. Is the solution 'micro-retirement'? 

And researchers are looking into whether treatments for ADHD could actually be used to help people with methamphetamine dependence too.
