As news of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan spread throughout the world, we heard countless stories of loss, violence and desperate attemps to flee.
The future looks grim for the country's young scholars and scientists, part of an educated generation striving for social justice. Yet, for some, hope remains.
In a powerful two-part series, Science Friction delved into the stories of Afghan academics forced to run for their lives. Host Natasha Mitchell heard from those caught in limbo, while universities and charities drive evacuation missions to help them escape.
Closer to home, The Fitzroy Diaries returns for a third season, with creator Lorin Clarke sharing hilarious and poignant vignettes of life in locked-down Melbourne. All eight episodes are available to binge now on the ABC listen app or wherever you find your podcasts — a blessing for those still in lockdown!
Plus, for the sports-mad and eco-conscious among us, Sporty explored the intersection of environmentalism and sporting excellence, where top athletes are pushing for climate change action.
Go behind the scenes of the world's first carbon-neutral football club, where vegan food is on the menu, players wear jerseys made from recycled materials, and the turf is organic.
Until next time,
Anna Levy, RN deputy digital editor

Fitzroy Diaries has returned for a third season, but this time, the streets are bare.
Everyone's stuck at home and there are numbers that come in daily — they seem to colour everything. But there are new neighbours to get to know, old friends to stumble upon, and a pile of cardboard boxes threatening to topple over at any moment.
The entire season is available on the ABC listen app, or wherever you get your podcasts. | | LISTEN |
