Friday Lites:
There’s nothing like a good murder mystery and the new Netflix series Bodkin is no exception. Not only does it have some very funny commentary about its small-town Ireland setting, but we’re also fans of the fact that it doesn’t feature the grisly violence of so many other shows.
And for when you're looking for something warm and tasty to whip up this easy tinned tuna pasta recipe is a great shout. It’s hearty and cozzie livs friendly.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) made headlines recently when its chief prosecutor applied for arrest warrants for the leaders of Israel and Hamas - accusing them of war crimes in Gaza. It’s a controversial move that has divided world leaders… It's also prompted a few Squizers to request an explainer on how the ICC works. So, in this Shortcut, we’ll look at the court’s role in the world, how it operates, and why its case against Israeli and Hamas leaders has sparked a heated global debate.
Squiz recommends:
Listening: The ABC’s Global Roaming podcast - Who’s Afraid of the ICC? It gives a good outline of the proposed arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders and what could happen next.
Reading: The BBC's article about the ICC and how it functions - What does the ICC do?

In this Squiz Shortcut, we'll get into what happened on D-Day - the dangerous and bloody event that changed the course of WWII. The 6th of June is the anniversary of the Allies' D-Day invasion of Normandy, France - and it’s a big one this year, being the 80th anniversary of that momentous day.
Squiz recommends:
Watching: The Darkest Hour - a big film from 2017 about Churchill and those dark days of 1940 when Germany was storming through Europe to take France.
More watching: The Tom Hanks film on Apple+, Greyhound. It's about a US convoy commander getting supplies from the US to Britain across the Atlantic, fighting off the Nazi U-Boats in 1942.

In this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at the “King of Clay” Rafael Nadal who was back in action at the French Open earlier this week. “Rafa”, as he’s affectionately known, has an extraordinary record at Roland Garros, having won the men’s singles trophy 14 times - prompting some to say it should be named after him. But his dream of taking home a 15th title wasn’t to be and he bowed out in the first round. At nearly 38 years old, Nadal has been battling to stay at the top of the game after 2 years of injuries, and although nothing’s been confirmed, he’s hinted this tour could be his last. So in this Squiz Shortcut we’ll get you across Rafa’s rise to the top, why he’s loved around the world, and the legacy he’ll leave behind when he finally decides to hang up his racquet.
Squiz recommends:
Reading: Rafa’s biography for the hardcore fans who want to know more about him… it’s called Rafa: My Story*
More reading: this GQ story sees Nadal and Federer posing together for a recent Louis Vuitton campaign at the top of a snowy mountain and saying nice things about each other. What’s not to love?

A big thanks to Squizers because we hit more than 1,500 responses to our survey. We pledged $5,000 to the Red Cross if we hit 1,000, so Claire's sent that donation in - that makes us very happy... We'll keep that survey open and we reckon if we get another 1,000 responses it will well and truly be one of the biggest podcast audience surveys in the country - so keep 'em coming...
