  Sep 24, 202648 min

  It's a rare thing when superhero TV or movies offer something deeper than rousing beat 'em up action, but HBO's series about DC Comics' Green Lantern, Lanterns, does it. Liana shares insight into how Lanterns maintains a tight balance between gritty crime drama and superhero fare, while also portraying various types of trauma, where it begins and its effects on the traumatized person and the people around them...while also delivering great acting, action and yes, some great beat 'em ups!

  Why Modern Dating Feels So Hard

  Sep 17, 202648 min

  Online dating is a multi-billion dollar business...so why is dating harder than ever? Anxiety over rejection, communication deficits (real & imagined) and less-developed social skills are three big issues, along with a greater need for self-awareness and a host of other factors that have made dating in 2026 a daunting experience. Pieter Niemann, author of Swiping For Something Real, was born in South Africa and moved to Switzerland, so he knows what it's like to feel isolated and unsure of the rhythms of local social interactions. Pieter joins Liana to discuss how he managed to overcome his introversion and trepidation to build a community of friends and the confidence to wade into the dating world.

  Aug 20, 202648 min

  That's Private! ... Or Is It? In a society where cameras are everywhere, our personal privacy is under assault on a daily basis. But it isn't just technology that erodes our privacy; there are, and always have been, people who violate trust for status, amusement or advantage. At the same time, there are some secrets which should not be kept private. Liana shares some very personal experiences that illustrate the damage done by loose lips and some cases where keeping a confidence can be harmful to those who entrust you with them.
