61 :has()
:has() is a new CSS selector which allows developers to query for the presence of a child or state. It has been called the “parent selector”, but it’s much more than that! Using :has() you can style up and down a DOM tree, making this an incredible powerful feature. Learn how to take advantage of this new API with lots of examples in this episode.

In this episode Una and Adam explain a non-CSS property, but very relevant front-end UI property, called inert.

58: Cascade layers
In this episode Una and Adam cover Cascade Layers (aka @layer). It's a way for authors to control and orchestrate their own CSS layering which can help avoid specificity and asynchronous loading issues. Instead of styles taking the most recent style based on order of appearance, orchestrate layers and place styles inside them to control which overrides which.
