Latest Insight Episodes

What does grandparenting look like today? Insight explores whether the demands on modern-day grandparents are keeping them physically fit and mentally well, or if the younger generations' wants and needs are being prioritised to the detriment of grandparents' health, wealth and relationships.

Should you invest in stocks, or property? Is university still worth it, or should you start your own business? With the path to financial security becoming less clear, Insight asks how aspirational people are getting ahead, and whether Australia is a good country to build wealth.

Aussies have long held a narrative of being resilient 'battlers'. But with pressures of modern society in sharp focus, and humans wired to whinge, are the days of 'she'll be right' over? Insight explores whether the Little Aussie Battler still exists, or if a culture of complaint has taken over.

It was once a dream of many: work hard and retire in your 60s. Now, more Australians are employed into their 70s, 80s and even 90s. Insight meets those still working by choice, those who can't afford to stop, and asks what happens when you keep working later in life?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) comprise up to 50 per cent of our calories, and while some provide significant nutrients for a balanced diet, other UPFs could be responsible for damage in every major bodily organ. So, what are ultra-processed foods, and are they as bad as they're made out to be?

Is Australia's libido waning? Or are we redefining sex and intimacy? With singledom on the rise, technology replacing interaction, and partner standards reaching new heights, Insight explores what's going on in the nation's bedroom.

What's love like later in life? For some, it's sex with no commitment in their 60s; for others, it's coming out in their 50s. Some couples are choosing to live apart, while others are marrying at 90. On this Insight, meet the older Australians exploring a new lease on love.

Do you dream of suddenly coming into money? Maybe winning Lotto, a quiz show, or a prize home? With rising costs of living, it's a popular fantasy, but does it always change our lives for the better? Insight explores the twists and turns of what can happen after a windfall.
