Despite our best intentions, some books are harder to get through than others - and sometimes they even get set aside and abandoned entirely. In this episode, we explore all the reasons why this happens, and how modern life might be contributing to them. We also talk about the experience of returning to abandoned books and how that can be a rewarding experience. And then in Footnotes, we discuss an unpublished John Steinbeck novel, 'Murder at Full Moon', focusing on werewolves, murder and small town America, which has been rediscovered in his archives.

The signature fedora. The rousing score by John Williams. The iconic crack of the whip. This is where the legend of Indiana Jones began - in Steven Spielberg's 1981 blockbuster, Raiders of the Lost Ark. In this episode, we revisit the pop culture phenomenon that redefined the action-adventure genre, spawned multiple sequels, videogames, and cartoons, and further cemented Harrison Ford as one of the biggest Hollywood stars of all time.

Over the weekend, 156 undocumented migrants were arrested in a raid operation that is supposedly meant to help them register for valid documents and get vaccinated. First, we look at what happened on the night of the raid and how this has impacted the migrant community. Then, we replay an excerpt of an interview from Live & Learn, where YB Nurul Izzah Anwar discusses the government's treatment of migrants. Finally, we look at why it's crucial for vaccination efforts to reach migrants, and the importance of cultivating trust in the process.

 If you’re over 60, or if you’re caring for an elderly family member, you’re no stranger to health issues like diabetes or heart disease. But the mental health of our senior citizens may not be something we pay enough attention to. What are the mental health issues that are prevalent among our elderly, and how do we recognise them? We find out more from Dr Wan Izwin Wan Hassan, consultant psychiatrist specialising in geriatric psychiatry, from Subang Jaya Medical Centre.

Last week, 23-year-old World Number 2 tennis player Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open, after being fined and threatened with expulsion by the tournament organisers for refusing to attend post-match press conferences to protect her mental health. In fact, she revealed that she has suffered from “long bouts of depression” and found it anxiety-inducing to speak to the media. While she received widespread support from fellow athletes and her fans, she was also criticised for not being able to handle the pressure and that speaking to the media is part of her job. This raises the question: why are people still unable to put themselves and their mental health before their professional priorities, without judgment? How can we do better to support not just public figures but the people around us when they speak up about their mental health? We speak to clinical psychologist Evone Phoo to find out.
