This week we are lucky to host Tania, a fashion executive from the very top of the retail world. We explore the multifaceted world of fashion, discussing the evolution of trends, the influence of pop culture, and the intersection of fashion with technology and sustainability. How is AI shaping consumer behaviour and why is conscious consumption important? And apparently there are also sweatshops on cargo ships in the ocean, so that's weird!

Our resident NFL expert and Fantasy Football embarrassment Sami is back for a quick mid-season review of the league. Both Danny and Sami have a lot to apologise for, as we got some things wrong in our season preview. However, we also have plenty to be proud of, as some teams and individuals have proven just as disappointing as we thought they would be. The conversation culminates in predictions for the remainder of the season, including potential playoff teams and standout players.

We close out Season 3 with a wild one! After Sylvia and Danny are done with their intro filled with all-important Peru and Estonia updates, our Federal Correspondent Big Daddy Z teaches us a thing or two about chemicals in the water supply. A warning is in order, however: this one deteriorates into more silliness than is normally advisable. We also discuss the government shutdown and what that really means anyway, but disturbing personal anecdotes and wildlife encounters steal the show. See you soon for Season 4!

Our Icelandic correspondent Joakim is fresh out of the chilly Atlantic and dipping into his volcanic jacuzzi. With a warm cup of fermented shark urine in hand, he helps us understand this strange and remote island. We dive into the unique culture and lifestyle of Iceland, discussing everything from the country's rich history and traditions to its modern-day quirks, such as the absence of McDonald's and the popularity of fermented foods. The conversation also touches on geothermal energy, Iceland's impressive sports achievements and the nation's peaceful outlook on life.

What do Lidl sneakers have to do with a Bon Jovi sex scandal and Elton John's views on gun control? As you may have guessed, this one gets out of hand...and then immediately back under control, only to spiral into madness again. However, we do remember to read out some listener emails and address the growing beef between two former guests on the show.

The Ryder Cup was almost as exciting as the new Talking Ass activity on X (Twitter): Talking Ass Podcast (@talkingasspod) / X. This show has officially joined the dark side and it has been a wild first few days.

Listener feedback is thoroughly examined, as are the mysterious reproductive practices of eels.

Justin McDonald is a professor of economics, a true money guy and a rumoured "econ wizard" who has some things to say about your password reusage. His impressive career in the field of payment fraud (and later craft beer and education) serves as a prime example of what you can achieve if you stay away from people like Gary from the Cayman Islands. We discuss fraud prevention, fraud techniques, the role of AI in combating fraud, and the implications of account takeovers. Justin emphasizes the importance of multi-factor authentication and the need for consumers to be vigilant against increasingly sophisticated scams, especially when it comes to camels.
