Hack

Almost a year since Jordan Brunoli sat down with hack to talk through his stage 4 colorectal cancer diagnosis, the Bugs bassist returns with an updated prognosis.
Jordan was told in June he has just months to live.
In this extended chat with Dave, Jordan unpacks what it felt like being handed the bad news and the reality of living life like there's no tomorrow.
He's also joined by Bugs band mates Connor and Brock to talk about their friendship, why they won't stop laughing, and the new music and shows they've been working on.
Guests:
Jordan Brunoli

Are men attracted to or intimidated by ambitious women? 
Some women feel like they're being penalised when it comes to dating because of their career success, study accomplishments, or property goals.

In this week's Deep Dive, we hear from a sexologist who thinks the swing back to traditional values may be one explanation, and a sociologist who's been looking into dating in the age of the manosphere. 
Guests:
