- The Pursuit of HappinessE2
The Pursuit of HappinessCan we be happier? Or is the pursuit of happiness just a recipe for disappointment? Insight hears from experts, as well as people who have tried to make their lives more joyful, to ask if we can increase our day-to-day happiness – and if we should even try. - Bad JokeE4
Bad JokeComedians have long turned sensitive subjects into humour. But how is cancel culture affecting the craft of being funny? Some see ‘cancelling’ as a positive social justice tool amplifying marginalised voices, while others warn it’s an echo chamber of outrage killing free speech. Insight asks where’s today’s line on jokes? - Deathbed Confessions and PromisesE5
Deathbed Confessions and PromisesHow does someone’s unexpected deathbed confession or request affect loved ones left behind? The ramifications can often be life-changing, leaving family and friends bewildered, hurt, and resentful. This Insight episode also explores how deathbed confessions or promises can help the grieving process, redefine the relationship with the deceased, and provide closure. - CatfishingE6
CatfishingCatfishing is when someone creates a fake online identity to lure someone into a relationship. For catfishers it’s not usually about money, rather an escape from real life. But for victims, it can be devastating. In this Insight episode, we meet a catfish and discuss if tougher penalties are needed. - First LoveE7
First LoveEveryone has a first love. Whether it was a fairy tale romance, a devastating heartbreak or just an awkward situation, our first forays into love and dating shape our future relationships and even the direction our lives take. Insight hears from people whose first loves left a mark. - Forgetting FatherhoodE8
Forgetting FatherhoodA surge of young Aussie men are deciding to remain childless, with some getting vasectomies while still in their 20s. Many are passionately driven by ethical, financial and emotional factors, but will they regret their decision later in life? And what do involuntarily childless men think about this trend. - Gender GamesE10
Gender GamesDo transgender women belong in women’s sports? On Gender Games, we hear from transwomen and female athletes about inclusion, fairness and safety. Can sports be inclusive and fair? Or do we need clearer laws to protect women’s sports? Watch the Gender Games episode of Insight on On Demand. - Holding A GrudgeE14
Holding A GrudgeShould we always forgive and forget? According to a recent survey, almost three-quarters of Australians are holding onto a grudge. Insight explores what these grudges are – from the petty to the hefty – and asks: can they sometimes be good for us or is it always healthier to let go? - Meeting Family Later in LifeE16
Meeting Family Later in LifeFor adoptees and people who are donor conceived, meeting your biological family can be one of the biggest moments in your life. But these reunions can be challenging and not all result in lasting relationships. This week’s Insight looks at the complexities of meeting your family later in life. - ConnedE17
ConnedFalling prey to a con artist can be a humiliating and often expensive exercise. Many cons end in costly court cases, even imprisonment, and that's just for the victims. The perpetrators often appear to be charismatic and charming, but they’re far more likely to be narcissistic risk-takers who revel in power and control. This week's Insight delves into these charismatic and complex characters. - Religion, Sex, PoliticsE18
Religion, Sex, PoliticsIs it possible to maintain relationships when our fundamental values clash, and how do we know when to walk away? On Sex, Religion, Politics, Insight looks at the issues tearing families apart and whether it’s possible to work through opposing values. - Risk and RewardE19
Risk and RewardRisk is something most live with daily; from driving, to eating fatty foods. But how risky is life for those who choose pursuits like base jumping, freediving or working in warzones? Insight asks what makes people tick who thrive in situations others fear and is the risk worth the reward? - In Trouble AbroadE24
In Trouble AbroadWith international borders now open, more Australians are travelling overseas. Some will find themselves in trouble or distress and will seek help from embassies or travel insurance companies. Do Australians get enough help when in trouble abroad or do they have unrealistic expectations of what can be done in a foreign country? - AfghanistanE25
AfghanistanOne year after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, those closest to the conflict reflect on the costs and rewards of Australia’s 20-year involvement in the war. Through the eyes of those forced to flee the country, and those left behind, Insight explores what’s next for Afghanistan and its people. - Integrating Natural MedicinesE29
Integrating Natural MedicinesAustralians are among the highest users of traditional and natural medicines. But GPs and the mainstream healthcare system often don’t recognise them. Insight asks patients and doctors: Should natural medicines be accepted into the mainstream, and can the two coexist?
