Chris Berg, the director of the RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub, recently spoke to Marc Fennell on
Download This Show, about the changing role of cash and our changing payment habits.

The cause of the recent Russian plane crash presumed to have killed passenger
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, is still unknown.
Prigozhin was Russian president Vladimir Putin's longtime ally until he caused a crisis in June when he marched towards Moscow with the Wagner army. Learn more about Prigozhin's unlikely rise to the top by revisiting a recent episode of

shared her story with Zena Chamas.
Have a great weekend,
