Brad and Jacqui’s soft Australian accents are in your ears and in your homes again this week, discussing North Korea, genetic selection and everything in between. Ice breaker question time. Brad wants to know what amount of cash would make Jacqui give up hot showers and hot baths forever. Jacqui wonders if there really is enough money in the world to make that deal, but then rethinks things (Hugh Jackman makes an appearance). Building on the apocalyptic theme of last week, Jacqui wants to know what valuable but impractical object Brad would take at the end of the world. Jacqui was thinking priceless art, but Brad has alcohol on the mind. Brad’s news this week is about countries rethinking the benefits of Universal Basic Income in the time of Corona. Brad introduces listeners to what UBI is, and why is it a good idea. Apparently, it’s not as expensive as you would think. Jacqui wants to talk about the ‘other’ big news from the past few weeks – whatever is happening in North Korea. They talk about the Supreme Leader’s health and the ongoing war with South Korea. Both Brad and Jacqui reminiscence about their visit to the Demilitarized Zone separating the two counties. In their ‘Blue Sky Thinking’ segment, Brad brings genetic selection to the discussion table. The making of ‘designer babies’ could be scientifically possible, at least for the rich, in the next few years. What are the moral implications? What would parents be willing to do to eliminate undesirable traits from their offspring? And would it make a difference if everyone else was doing it? Brad and Jacqui tackle the deep stuff this week but have more questions than answers. We want to hear your thoughts on making your own designer baby, or any of the topics discussed here.
