Life Matters - Full program podcast Folgen

We hear your stories of coming out later in life, and how to date, explore sex, talk about it with friends and family and embrace your authentic self. And in the Too Hard Basket, how far should you go when it comes to catering to the dieting needs of your house guests? If your visitors are vegan, should the household only eat vegan food while they’re staying?

For medical issues that affect both sexes, more men than women will die, that's a fact. So what can be done to address the gender gap in life expectancy for men? Plus we explore the phenomenon of the midlife crisis in women, and in our Life in 500 Words segment, Jennifer tells us about a little embroidered harp which is precious to her.

Domestic violence is a pressing issue in Australia's growing South Asian migrant community. We look at how traditions of dowry, patriarchy and caste play a role and how we can intervene in culturally sensitive ways. Plus, Alice Zaslavsky has an ode to the humble pie. And we meet the team behind Shadow, the dystopian debut feature of acclaimed Australian neurodiverse theatre company Back to Back Theatre.
