Today on The Brew we ask the all-important question; "is disruption still a thing?”. Well, according to Morris Miselowski it most definitely is, and if you throw AI into the mix, it's the perfect script for a renaissance style good old fashioned changefest. He'll be with us at 12:10. Jarrod Watt joins us at 12:40 with more top class Aussieness and some fabulous music. Today at 1:25, Dr. Merrin Pearse is joined by Dave Neale to talk about the implementation of an ethical elephant tourism programme in Vietnam. Dave is the Global Animal Sentience & Welfare Director with Animals Asia. Join them on Facebook live if you can.

On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about the increasing divorce rate in Hong Kong.

Divorce applications rose 25% last year and splitting couples had to wait longer to have their cases heard in Family Court, with the average waiting time reaching nearly three months. Lawyers say they're starting to see some couples divorce much earlier into their marriages, often due to extramarital affairs or conflicts over parenting.

But rising divorce rates aren't unique to Hong Kong and some jurisdictions, such as France, are starting to make the process less painful by allowing consenting couples to avoid a court hearing.

So is time for Hong Kong to do the same? Why are more people divorcing? And how does it affect their children?

After 9:45, we'll be talking about ESF's plan for a 4.8% increase in school fees.
