  • Ketamine could help people with depression

    There's hope for people who've tried everything to treat their depression with a clinical trial finding one in five were almost symptom-free after taking regular low-doses of ketamine. 

    And you've probably heard of companies that are "kind to the planet" or "eco-friendly" but these phrases are basically meaningless according to the consumer watchdog, who are calling out greenwashing.

    Also, the FIFA Women's World Cup kicks off this week, and the Matildas are wondering why the prize money is much less than for the men's comp. 

    Guests:

    • Chris Davey, Cato Chair of Psychiatry at the University of Melbourne
    • Jo Lauder, Hack reporter
    • Anna Harrington, AAP sports journalist and Far Post co-host

  • Going grey in your twenties

    Being young and having grey hair used to be a no no, but more and more young women in their 20s are looking in the mirror and liking what they see. They're getting louder on social media and they're known as the greyfluencers.

  • Got a shock at tax time?

    Tax time can be wonderful when you get a nice little cash bonus in your bank account from a tax return. But some people who've had bumps in the past are getting hit with bills instead. We explain what's changed for tax this year.

    Access to abortion is going to get a whole lot better in August with the federal government announcing more doctors will be able to prescribe the medication option and more pharmacies will be able to sell it.

    And have you ever moved to a new place and found it hard to find some new mates? This is even harder in the country where it can be tough to find a new network.

    The Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme findings have been delivered, saying the scheme wasn't fair and recommending charges for some of Robodebt's architects. But what does it mean for victims and their families?

    And it's been a controversial week in the world of cricket with some drama between Australia and England.

  • What's with the big car obsession?

    Have you noticed bigger cars are getting more popular? Sports utility vehicles — think 'soccer mum' cars — dominate roads right now and it could be bad news for the environment and safety. 

    Also, the AFL is investigating the illegal sharing of explicit pics of past and present players in a huge leak. 

    And, could we have found the wildest job? We meet the people braving croc-infested waters in the name of the environment.

    Also, Bhutan is meant to be the happiest country in the world, but a lot of young people are leaving to move to Australia.

    And, a new study has found Aussie students don't actually care that much about Federation or Anzac history, and actually find it irrelevant to their lives.

    • Avani Dias, ABC South Asia Correspondent
    • Dr Kay Carroll, education lecturer at Western Sydney University
