Tourette's taboos, high speed rail dreams + how Andrew could end up king
About this episode
Despite being the first member of the royal family to be taken into custody in 3 centuries, the former prince Andrew could still (technically) end up king one day. We get into why Australia is trying to change the line of succession.
And there's a lot of talk about Tourette's Syndrome after the BAFTAs last night. So what's it like to live with Tourette's, and what's the best way to react to a tic?
Plus, high speed rail Australia. Could it actually happen?
