The West’s relationship with China is complicated, consequential and impossible to ignore. In this episode of R2BW, we unpack how Western economies became so deeply intertwined with a strategic rival, and what that dependence really means for sovereignty, security, and long-term prosperity. From trade, technology, and education to diplomacy, defence, and values, we ask the uncomfortable questions: has economic pragmatism blunted political resolve?

Can the West realistically decouple or diversify away from China, or are we already too deep in bed with the dragon? A frank, accessible conversation about power, risk, and the choices now facing liberal democracies.

Birth rates are falling around the world — but why? And what does it really take to create a future where people want (and can afford) to have children? In this punchy and provocative episode of R2BW, we pull apart the economic, social, cultural and personal forces shaping the great baby drought.

From housing costs to career pressure, shifting values to government incentives, we explore why making babies has become so complicated — and what societies get wrong when trying to “fix” it. With humour, straight talk and a few surprising insights, this episode looks beyond the panic headlines to ask the real question: what would a world that supports families actually look like?

How much is too much? In this episode of R2BW, we dive into one of the most polarising economic questions of our time — should there be a ceiling on personal wealth and income? From billionaires and bonus culture to the moral limits of capitalism, we examine what happens when reward turns into excess.

Is capping earnings a blow to ambition or a step toward fairness? Join us as we unpack the ethics, economics, and political tensions behind the idea that maybe, just maybe, there is such a thing as enough.

Are parents accidentally sabotaging the very future they’re trying to secure for their kids?

In this episode of R2BW, we unpack how over-managing, over-protecting and over-investing in our children’s lives can quietly steal their chance to build real confidence, resilience and success.

We talk about:

• The difference between supporting your child and living through your child
• How “helping” with homework, careers and choices can slide into control
• Why shielding kids from failure leaves them fragile, not strong
• Practical ways to step back, set boundaries and let them own their wins (and losses)

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing too much—or not enough?” this conversation is for you. It’s not about blaming parents; it’s about learning how to give children the space, skills and responsibility to build a life that’s truly theirs.

In this R2BW episode, we get real about human nature. We talk about everyday moments: the stranger who helps, the boss who exploits, the friend who lies, the neighbour who shows up. Are these “good” or “bad” people… or just people in different situations?

From childhood instincts to adult choices, we dig into why we do what we do, how power and pressure change us, and whether anyone is truly one thing or the other.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Are humans actually decent, or are we faking it?”, this one’s for you.

Universities promise to prepare us for the future — but are they really empowering students, or just cashing in on our ambition? In this bold episode, we dig into the business of higher education, exploring how degrees, debt, and dreams have become part of a billion-dollar marketplace. Are universities still places of learning… or have they turned into companies selling shovels for a gold rush that no longer exists?

When one person’s actions lead to the suffering of many — why do we let it happen? In this gripping episode, we break down the psychology, politics, and history behind collective punishment.

From sculpted selfies to surgical transformations, we’re living in an era where beauty has become both aspiration and addiction. In this episode, we peel back the glossy surface of cosmetic culture to expose a deeper story — one driven by body dysmorphic dysfunction, social pressure, and a medical industry profiting from our insecurities.

As billions are poured into elective enhancements, we ask: what happens when healthcare resources are diverted from need to vanity? And how did our collective idea of “self-improvement” become a symptom of something more troubling?

Work emails at midnight. Weekends lost to deadlines. Families and friendships quietly pushed aside for “just one more project.” In this episode of Right2BWrong, we explore how modern corporate culture blurs the line between dedication and self-destruction. Has the pursuit of career success—and the expectation to always be available—come at the expense of our health and our closest relationships? And if so, what would it take to reclaim balance before the system burns us out completely?

Have your beliefs become your identity? In this provocative episode, we unpack the idea of ideological possession — when people stop thinking critically and start seeing the world only through the lens of their tribe. From politics to culture, from social media to the dinner table, we explore how conviction can quietly turn into dogma.

Are we still reasoning — or just repeating? Are our “opinions” really ours, or just echoes of the loudest voices around us?

Join us as we challenge certainty, question loyalty to labels, and ask: what happens when your ideology starts thinking for you?
