Insight is back on screens from Tuesday 4 March and promises to be one of our most exciting seasons yet.
Host Kumi Taguchi leads the discussion addressing the Your Body Your Choice movement, our healthcare cost crisis and citizen sleuths solving true crime cases. We also hear from those navigating widowhood, escaping reality, coping with invisible illnesses and challenging the idea of resilience — among many other topics.

Here are some of our first-view episodes:

Your Body, Your Choice?

Who decides what you can and can’t do with your own body? Spoiler alert: it isn’t always you. From conception to death and everything in between, including circumcision, vaccination and amputation, Insight explores the laws, ethics and pressures that dictate our bodily autonomy. We hear from those who’ve faced backlash for the decisions they’ve made, and others who desperately wish they’d had the choice.

Healthcare’s Silver Squeeze

With soaring medical bills, waiting lists and an ageing population, how is our healthcare system coping and what will it look like in future? Insight hears from practitioners and patients caught in the healthcare cost crisis and asks: who should pay the price?

Citizen Sleuths

True crime has never been more popular, and technology is making citizen investigations increasingly accessible. But can just anyone be a sleuth? Insight’s Kumi Taguchi is joined by guests who’ve taken it upon themselves to find answers when authorities fall short. But the ultimate question is: are they helping or hindering?

Navigating Widowhood

More than one million Australians have experienced the grief of losing their significant other. We hear from a man whose dying wife set up his online dating profile, a young woman who’s been widowed twice, and those who’ve found love after loss. And we ask: does widowhood still define them?

Escaping Reality

Daily life can be dull, leading some of us to seek satisfaction, identity, even liberation in alternate identities. We speak to a primary school teacher and self-described introvert living a surprising double life; a chronic pain sufferer who finds relief in gaming; and an obsessive Australian who uses books to escape his Myanmar prison.

Invisible Illnesses

Invisible illness or “all in the mind”? What are millions of Australians with unseen conditions experiencing? And how can our healthcare system better diagnose, support and treat them? Insight explores the daily realities and impacts of living with invisible, chronic illnesses.

Challenging Resilience

Amid rising rates of anxiety and depression, being ‘more resilient’ has become a popular catchcry of podcasters, influencers and life coaches. But have we lost sight of what it actually means to be resilient? This episode of Insight asks if — amid all the noise — resilience really is what it’s made out to be.
