  The FASTSUM Collaboration has developed a comprehensive research programme in
thermal QCD using 2+1 flavour, anisotropic ensembles. In this talk, we
summarise some of our recent results including thermal hadron spectrum
calculations using our ``Generation 2L'' ensembles which have pion masses of
239(1) MeV. These include open charm mesons and charm baryons. We also
summarise our work using the Backus Gilbert approach to determining the
spectral function of the NRQCD bottomonium system. Finally, we review our
determination of the interquark potential in the same system, but using our
``Generation 2'' ensembles which have heavier pion masses of 384(4) MeV.
