Insight meets single mothers who kept their babies despite pressure to abort or adopt, one of the first Matildas who played in the national soccer team before it even had a name and other trailblazing Boomers who broke taboos- from religion to gender to sex, asking how much have things changed? - Fateful DecisionsA3
Fateful DecisionsSamia was a carefree 19-year-old when an older, charismatic stranger asked her to sail the world with him.

Insight hears from guests who've made fateful decisions - for better or worse. - GuiltA4
GuiltA police sniper from the Lindt Cafe Siege explains the overwhelming guilt he felt for the deaths of two hostages, while a woman admits feeling guilty for having an affair with a married man, breaking up his marriage.

Convenient RelationshipsCan relationships of convenience truly last? Kumi Taguchi meets two single mums who combined their households to co-parent together, a migrant who married an Australian man for a better life, and a woman who found her sperm donor online.

WeddingsA wedding Grinch, a groom whose mother was spear-tackled, a runaway bride, and made-to-order breasts for a bride who was “healed” by her dream wedding day.

And why we're still so wedded to the tradition. - To The RescueA13

What can science tell us about near-death experiences, and how do they change our relationship to life? - The Boomer EconomyA19
The Boomer EconomyThe Baby Boomer generation is the richest in history. Their spending is reshaping industries like tourism, property, and health.

Second ChancesIs a second chance a blessing or a curse? Insight host Kumi Taguchi explores what happens when we’re given or give another chance- in life, career, love or a new homeland, or after making a mistake.

After 30 years of online dating, is it still worth the gamble, and do dating apps really want us to find love? - No Regrets?A22
No Regrets?Regrets: most of us have had a few. But what happens if they take over our lives? From ruining a friend’s birthday to cutting contact with a family member, losing a loved one or working years in a job you hate, Insight hears from people haunted by their decisions. But can regret be useful, and is a life of no regrets really possible? - Uni BluesA25
Uni BluesFor many of us, university seems like the default beyond school. But, with cost-of living expenses, high tuition fees, a volatile job market, the introduction of alternative pathways, and debate over the quality of education, is the uni experience still good value and is a degree worth the debt?
