In this week's episode of Just Buffering, Steve Hyland and Gordon Baxter take a light-hearted look at some of the biggest stories making the headlines.

From the ongoing hospital doctor strike and whether the NHS can sustain further pay demands, to the latest developments in the Middle East and whether any ceasefire can really hold, the conversation covers the serious — with the usual dose of perspective.

There's also discussion around the growing divide in government over North Sea oil and gas, and whether the rush toward electric vehicles is as "green" as we're led to believe.

Plus, some lighter moments as the pair explore the realities of office life, questionable research studies, and the curious world of Gen Z "face fails" — where it can take eight attempts just to get the perfect selfie.

It's news, views, and a few laughs along the way — all from two experienced broadcasters who've seen it all before.
