The pandemic has forced many of us to reconsider our priorities — what matters, and how we want to live our lives.

And that applies to how we work.

This Working Life looked into how people are reimagining their careers, whether that's "career downsizing" or just quitting the bits of your job you don't love.

We've also been privileged to welcome some of Australia's best and brightest experts into Radio National for our Top 5 media residency program.

Debunk some of the most common weight loss myths with Top 5 resident, exercise scientist, Dr Mandy Hagstrom. Or, learn about Australia's first space laser with radio astronomy researcher, Dr David Gozzard.

Then, recap the week in pop culture with ABC culture vultures Beverley Wang and Benjamin Law over on Stop Everything!
 

Until next time,
