We think of the region as resilient, but will their community be able to recover? Rebuilding after the cyclone- What will this look like now that weather disasters are expected to become more common? Is it time to put quality over cost when it comes to infrastructure? Roald Dahl's books are undergoing a minor rewrite to remove 'offensive' descriptions (ugly, fat, etc.) from Matilda, The BFG and James and the Giant Peach. Should we update old works of fiction to meet modern standards? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
