Life Matters - Separate stories podcast ABC listen

Your friend invests a lot of time in her social media posts and wants you to share some of them on your feed as well.

You're not a fan of what she posts, cringe when she tags you in them, and feel uncomfortable when you see her in person and she brings it up.

What should you do?

Just living life is expensive right now, with the price of almost everything having gone up a lot in the past couple of years.

So how is that affecting your relationships with your friends, your romantic partner, your family — all the people who are important in your life.

As parents, many of us worry that if our kids only like eating pasta, white bread and cheese, they may be missing out on some essential nutrients - particularly protein.

99 per cent of Australian adults are getting enough protein, but what about kids?

And what are some tips for introducing the foods they need but don't necessarily like on the first, second, or third, try?

Guests:

Karina Savage, Paediatric dietitian 

Dr Miabing Zheng, Researcher at the Institute of Nutrition at Deakin University specialising in babies and protein

Yumi Stynes is a broadcaster, author and resident ABC taboo breaker with her beloved podcast Ladies, We Need To Talk.

As a new season launches, she shares how she learned to be consensual with her body, the creative ways you can get your sleep, and why she's looking forward to running marathons in her 70s.

We hear a lot about wars and leaders and political or ideological trends, in history class, but wouldn't it be more fun to tell that story...through cake? 

That's what the collections team at State Library of Queensland thought when they kept seeing archival documents about the Australian history of baking stretching way back in time.

The result is Cake: the podcast.

We all know exercise is good for us, but that doesn't mean it's always easy to get organised, into fitness gear, and out of the house.

And that's particularly true if you're dealing with depression or anxiety, which comedian Jennifer Wong was when she worked out a novel way to force herself to try some new activities.

That experience has inspired her new show, The Sweet and Sour Hour of Power.
