Phil speaks with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, author and science commentator, to debunk persistent moon landing conspiracies and confirm whether humans really set foot on the lunar surface.

These theories suggest that the twelve astronauts who walked on the moon in 1969-1972 never actually went, and that the evidence of landings was manufactured.

Location-tracking apps are being used not just for safety, but to monitor partners
around the clock.

And shockingly, nearly one in five young adults believe this kind of tracking is
expected in a relationship.

But this ‘digital closeness’ is often a mask for control.

Research links location-sharing to increased coercive behaviour, where tracking
begins as love, but ends in fear.

Mike speaks with, Karina Chapman, Dating Coach, Founder of Aligned Connections, who says this kind of monitoring isn’t romantic, it’s dangerous.

“Constant access to someone’s whereabouts doesn’t equal trust, it replaces it.
If you feel pressured to share your location, it’s time to question whether you’re
being loved or managed.

Healthy relationship digital boundaries:
1. Location sharing should always be optional rather than expected.
2. ‘Check-ins’ should feel supportive, not like surveillance.
3. Everyone’s entitled to privacy even in a loving relationship.
4. If you feel guilted into sharing access, pay attention.
5. Have a conversation about tech use early.
