In 1928, May Donoghue was drinking ginger beer at a café in Paisley when a friend poured the last of an opaque bottle into her glass. Out came the decomposed remains of a snail, something she could not have seen before drinking from it. She later became ill and sued the drink's manufacturer, David Stevenson.The problem was that May had not bought the drink herself, so she had no contract with the manufacturer. But in 1932, the House of Lords ruled that a maker of products owes consumers a duty to take reasonable care, even without a direct contract.That decision, Donoghue v Stevenson, created the modern “duty of care” principle at the heart of negligence law. One alleged snail in one bottle of ginger beer changed consumer protection and personal-injury law around the world, although whether the snail was ever actually there was never proved in court.
The ACT Party has announced plans to campaign on a policy of making student service fees voluntary. These fees contribute to student events, student media, and various other services across campus. The ACT Party believes it is unfair to charge students for services they may not use, instead offering a tickbox system so that people can opt to pay for the services they prefer. The policy is one ACT says would benefit students, though multiple student organisations across the country have pushed back. To discuss their concerns, News Director Castor spoke to President of VUWSA, Aidan Donoghue, about how making these fees voluntary could impact student life on campus.

There's pushback on an ACT election pledge to cut student association fees. ACT says the fees should be voluntary, which could save students up to $4,000 over a degree. Victoria University's Student Association President, Aidan Donoghue, says it's unclear how this proposed policy would benefit students. "If they had their way, you'd pay more to get less, right? A lot of this is about subsidizing not only things that I don't use, but to bring down costs for everybody at economies of scale." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Europe's electricity system is changing fast. As renewables continue to reshape the power mix, new challenges are emerging; from negative pricing and falling pofitability to the increased need for flexibility, storage, long-term investment signals and the growing demands of AI-driven data centres.In this episode of the Plugged In Summer Series, host Richard speaks with market experts Cillian O'Donoghue of Eurelectric and Fabian Huneke of Agora to explore whether Europe's electricity market design is still fit for purpose.The discussion examines whether the current market framework is delivering the right incentives for investment, the role of contracts for difference (CFDs) and power purchase agreements (PPAs), the importance of forward market liquidity, and why flexibility (from batteries to demand response) will be critical to keeping the energy transition affordable and secure. The guests also discuss how Europe can accelerate grid development, respond to rising electricity demand from data centres, and ensure market reforms keep pace with a rapidly evolving power system.Is Europe's market design driving the clean energy transition; or at risk of holding it back?

A new report by the Education Ministry shows more tertiary students than ever have been working while studying and most had better pass rates than the ones who didn't work. The report said that in 2024, students in low-intensity work had a course completion rate of 88 percent while those in moderate-intensity work had a slightly lower pass rate. Meanwhile, those who did not work at all had the same pass rate as those in high-intensity work - about 83 percent. Victoria University Students Association Engagement Vice President Aidan Donoghue says this is surprising - and he'd be interested into a deeper dive on these stats.

The March 2026 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia made a major pivot regarding Lipoprotein(a) by establishing a formal recommendation for universal screening in adults. This 2026 guideline, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, issued a Class 1 recommendation stating that every adult should have their Lp(a) measured at least once in their lifetime. Because Lp(a) levels are genetically determined and remain highly stable throughout a person's life, a single lifetime check is sufficient for the vast majority of the population to establish their baseline risk. Well, that's great for Family medicine or internal medicine, but how does that affect us in women's health? Well, it's complicated: lipoprotein(a) has been associated with an increased risk of VTE and has also been associated, in some studies, with FGR, preeclampsia, and preterm birth! So, can these patients receive oral contraceptives? What about Perioperative and postop care? Do these patients require anticoagulation? What about pregnancy- is LDA recommended here? And lastly, what about TXA use in patients with HMB? This podcast topic comes from one of our podcast family members who is an OBGYN military personnel caring for our wonderful troops overseas.

The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
To help kick off our look back at Season 6 of Saturday Night Live, we talk to one of the cast members from that season—Denny Dillon. In addition to being the very first "new" cast member to say "Live from New York," Denny is also one of the few performers to work with all three Executive Producers of the show—Lorne Michaels, Jean Doumanian, and Dick Ebersol.But Denny's connection to SNL goes back well before that infamous 1980-81 season. She talks about meeting Gilda Radner before the show even premiered and shares her experiences as a special guest on the third ever episode back in 1975. In addition, we discuss her contribution to Anne Beatts' book "Titters" as well as returning to Studio 8H to be on a children's show prior to starring on SNL.Denny recounts the extensive audition process she went through at Saturday Night Live, being selected as the last female cast member (beating out a future Oscar winner), and discusses the highs (and lows) of that difficult season. She recounts the uphill battle everyone faced with both the fans and the press while experiencing the thrill of live television and forming bonds that would last for decades.Denny recounts many highlights from the season including some favorite hosts, musical guests, and sketches. She discusses her tight relationships with fellow cast members, working alongside hosts such as Elliott Gould, Ellen Burstyn, and acting in her favorite sketch of the season with Bill Murray. She also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what things were like when Jean Doumanian left the show and Dick Ebersol (and Michael O'Donoghue) took over.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com
What if the reason you're struggling in your riding… has nothing to do with your riding? In this powerful and honest episode, we sit down with Kerry, who went from nearly quitting horses altogether to stepping up levels, competing again, and completely transforming how she thinks, rides, and lives. This is not a story about “just pushing through fear.” This is about doing the deep, uncomfortable work that actually creates lasting confidence. We dive into: Losing confidence and wanting to give up The hidden fears riders don't talk about Why perfectionism keeps you stuck How past experiences (even ones that didn't happen to you) shape your riding The real process of shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're holding yourself back… this episode will hit home. What You'll Learn Why your riding struggles are often a reflection of what's happening internally How fear is often about consequences, not the fall itself The difference between a perfectionist mindset vs a growth mindset How to stop beating yourself up after mistakes and actually move forward Why “just be positive” doesn't work, and what does instead How to become a present rider and learner, not a self-critic Resources Mentioned: Coaching & support: https://www.mindeq.eu/coaching Follow Jocelin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelinlillienau Connect with Kerry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerry_don4801/

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick tackles another listener request and spends the show digging into what he calls “SNL adjacent” movies. These aren't the obvious ones based on sketches like Wayne's World or The Blues Brothers. Instead, they're films connected to Saturday Night Live through the people involved, the history of the show, or the overall spirit of it. Among the movies discussed are Wired, the controversial film about John Belushi, Saturday Night from director Jason Reitman, Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video created by Michael O’Donoghue, and the film version of Gilda Live starring Gilda Radner. Nick plays clips, shares behind-the-scenes stories, and offers some very strong opinions about which of these movies work and which absolutely do not. You'll even hear thoughts from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert along the way. It's a fun trip through a strange corner of SNL history filled with forgotten, fascinating, and sometimes very questionable movies. [Ep 168]
(Mar 17, 2026) Three years after the Adirondack Mountain Club bought the Cascade Ski Center outside of Lake Placid, its leadership put the property back on the market. Gwendolyn Craig, with the Adirondack Explorer, dives into what contributed to the breakdown of the ADK's ambitious plans; plus, before April showers bring May flowers, February snowstorms bring lots of March potholes. We'll tag along with a public works crew in Saratoga Springs that's patching them as fast as they can; and, we've got a good chance to see the aurora borealis this week! Astronomer Aileen O'Donoghue is our guide through the morning and evening skies this month.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick revisits what may be the strangest and darkest Christmas episode Saturday Night Live ever put on the air, when Bill Murray returned to host on December 12, 1981. What should have been a holiday show quickly turned unsettling, starting with a deeply odd monologue featuring a silent Santa, followed by sketches that veered from uncomfortable to outright disturbing. There was a fake tampon commercial led by Father Guido Sarducci, played by Don Novello, a tasteless designer jeans bit, and an offbeat musical performance by the Yale Whiffenpoofs. Things took a sharp turn when Sarducci returned with Murray to share predictions for 1982, including World War III and nuclear annihilation. Almost immediately after, the show was interrupted by a real NBC news bulletin announcing that Russia had invaded Poland. What followed was one of the most surreal moments in the show's history, a bleak, apocalyptic sketch about global destruction written by Michael O’Donoghue, which ended up being his final contribution before he was fired that same night.
