Obesity and associated health problems cause a significant burden on health systems, but should weight-loss drugs be offered under our PBS just for weight loss?  In Britain, there is to be a trial of the weight loss drug Mounjaro, that will also seek to measure the economic impact of those benefits.  Britain's Health Minister argues that weight loss drugs will be '"life-changing, help them get back to work and ease the demands on our NHS". Guests:Dr Norman Swan, co-presenter of ABC Radio National's Health Report, and the podcast 'What's That Rash?'Jonathan Karnon, Professor of Health Economics at Flinders UniversityNial Wheate, Pharmaceutical Chemist and Professor of Academic Excellence at Macquarie University And the Albanese Government this week announced a crack down on unfair and excessive card surcharges, promising to get a better deal for Australians and small business.  The declining use of cash and the rise of electronic payments means more Australians are getting hit by often hidden surcharges.  Guest:Brad Kelly, Co-founder of the Independent Payment Forum

In questo episodio speciale vediamo la storia di due esploratori, un tedesco e un austriaco, che si ritrovarono in guerra... senza saperlo. Hermann Detzner e Richard Thurnwald, nel 1914, erano impegnati in missioni geografiche e scientifiche fra le giungle della Nuova Guinea Tedesca. Le loro vicende sono avventurose, ma presentano anche alcuni lati che sfociano nel ridicolo.

Ozempic, designed for type-2 diabetes treatment, has garnered widespread attention for its potential to aid weight loss in obese individuals. In Australia, where obesity affects 30% of the population, it has sparked significant interest and Novo Nordisk, the company behind it, has seen its share price surge by almost 500% in 5 years. While there are other similar drugs on the market, Ozempic is the OG. Which is why we are delving into it for News Club... Club Picks: This podcast on ABC Radio National's Life Matters program includes an interview with podcaster Claire Murphy. S The invention of these drugs has had - and will continue to have - economic impacts. This episode of The Economist's Money Talks podcast goes through that, and the industry that's booming off the back of them.  You can't go far in this discussion without mentioning Oprah Winfrey… The US multi-media legend has had a decades-long struggle with her weight. She's even made a show about it - Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution - a clip is here.  Hosts: Claire Kimball & Kate Watson Producer: Annelise Taylor

In this episode, we're chatting with Dr Howard (Howie) Manns, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at Monash University. We were so excited to have the chance to speak with Howie, because we are fascinated by his language story and his academic work - from growing up in a monolingual environment and then (unexpectedly) becoming a linguist through joining the US Navy, to working as a researcher who now studies Australian English, Indonesian, tactile (deafblind) Auslan and intercultural communication. We hope you enjoy this great Language Chat - we could have spoken with Howie for hours (but have made sure that we didn't take up more than an hour of his precious time)!

We discuss chapters 28-36 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. A stop-off in Coober Pedy sees Ernest on a car-chase with a train, hurtling down the track after the enormous iron horse. Fortunately, the cows are on his side, and he is back on the case to identify the killer still on the train. Two bodies, two riddles, two methods of death, where are the parallels? With Alan's botched denouement out of the way, will the police even let him look at the clues? Nobody is getting off, and everyone on this train is...you get the point. We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' across these three weeks, and also chat more with Benjamin Stevenson about the intentions and key choices behind the twists of this book. Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'.

We discuss chapters 12-27 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. Alan Royce is on the hunt. He's confident that there's no way Ernest Cunningham has managed to stumble across a second true crime while trying to write the follow up to his previous true crime memoir. As the obviously incompetent forensic crime fiction author goes about trying to shoehorn his first inoperable theory from Ernest to another candidate, another death looms. Ernest is stuck between several rocks and hard places as suspicion is traded around like a scarf. Hang on, wasn't there a scarf by the body in the opening? We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' to unravel this book over these three weeks, and also chat with Jack Heath about his latest book, "Kill Your Husbands". Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'. Thank you to Allen & Unwin for helping to arrange the interview with Jack Heath.

We discuss chapters 1-11 of Benjamin Stevenson's 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect', the second novel in his 'Everyone' series. Ernest Cunningham is back, and even though you're reading the book he's written, he is really struggling to write it. His previous outing, a true-crime memoir of perhaps the darkest moment in his family's history, has seen him invited to a crime fiction festival travelling the length of Australia on The Ghan. His literary agent has given him a big advance for a sequel, but sadly, autobiographical true crime is hard to follow up. His attempts at following his own mystery fiction guides aren't getting anywhere, so he and his girlfriend Juliette hope that this trip will provide some inspiration. I guess you know where this is going. We're joined by Dr. Kate Evans of ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' to unravel this book over the next three weeks, and also chat with Benjamin Stevenson about his own journey to write this book. Thank you to BAD: Sydney Crime Writers' Festival, and Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone on this Train is a Suspect'.

There's an alarming new trend happening in schools across Australia, and it involved AI and porn.  Deep fake porn has escalated in American and now Australian high schools.

With the advent of social media, conversations and disagreements are magnified. But as our exchanges become increasingly digital, we must remember that behind every screen, there's a fellow human being. In the last episode of Season 8, Dr Susan Carland's expert guests highlight the importance of maintaining civility, and its role in preserving democratic principles and collective pursuit of the common good. Dr Amanda Stephens emphasises the importance of being aware of our mindset before engaging with others. Dr Steven Zech points out that building cooperation – whether it's between governments or individuals – takes time, and it can be lost in a moment. Professor Lucas Walsh calls attention to the need to educate young people about common challenges such as climate change that demand collective solutions. Associate Professor Helen Forbes-Mewett recognises the significance of civility as a cornerstone of social cohesion, particularly in multicultural societies. Scott Stephens, co-host of ABC Radio National's The Minefield, emphasises the essential nature of face-to-face interactions for understanding the moral reality of another person. Finally, academic and presenter Dr Waleed Aly identifies the ways we can remove contempt and engage in good faith with people whose views we oppose.

We talk with author Ben Hobson about his newest novel, the Western-inspired Aussie outback thriller 'The Death of John Lacey'. Etched in a strange sort of stone, following the turmoil in the aftermath of the most evil man Hobson has ever written, the book explores familial bonds, hard conversations, and the chaos of early Ballarat. We talk about Ben's motivations behind the novel's complex family structures, writing with self-imposed restrictions, and the tough conversations in our own lives. In our concluding spoilers section, we also talk about the tricky nature of the book's final act and its implementation of religion and fear. Thank you to ABC Radio National and Allen & Unwin for providing copies of 'The Death of John Lacey'. You can catch Herds on 'The Bookshelf' on ABC Radio National discussing the book here.

We discuss chapters 1-2 of Janice Hallett's bizarre media-meta-fiction 'Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels'. Journalist and true crime author Amanda Bailey is on the hunt for a new story. Her editors put her onto the case of the Alperton Angels, a perplexing cult-suicide from the early 2000s involving ritual sacrifice and a missing baby. As Amanda begins to work through her wishlist of interviewees for the novel, her old arch rival Oliver Menzies shows up investigating the same case, and the two are forced to work together on the tapestry of conspiracy behind the case. We see the case through the text logs and transcripts of conversations as the narrative is sculpted out in the atmosphere between the hard journalistic fact. In the spirit of strange structures, we're joined by author Ben Hobson to talk about his etched-in-stone Aussie-Outback-western 'The Death of John Lacey', and the motivating factors behind both his narrative choices, and how threatening the reader with a thoughtfully off-kilter structure can impact the feel of a book. Thank you to ABC Radio National and Allen & Unwin for providing copies of 'The Death of John Lacey'. You can catch Herds on 'The Bookshelf' on ABC Radio National discussing the book here.

Our 2022 Honourable Mentions begin with Flex's first pick; 'When We Fall' by Aoife Clifford. They may thwart our escape by land or sea, but the sky is surely open to us: we will go that way. Under an oppressive sky, take the middle way, lest the moisture weigh down your wings, or the sun scorch them. Summoning the art of Dutch masters, ancient poets and present day foibles, ‘When We Fall' is an elegantly modern small-town mystery painted in secrets, where the brushstrokes reward you for tracing them. Thank you to ABC Radio National and Ultimo Press for providing copies of 'When We Fall' to Death of the Reader.

What do we do when we don't feel well and mainstream western medicine can't seem to help us. Maybe it's an irritable bowel, headaches that come too frequently, chronic fatigue or joint pain that just won't go away. Maybe it's more serious - a life-threatening diagnosis of cancer, or a neurological condition like parkinsons, and we are told by doctors that there's no cure or they have limited treatment options. In all these cases, how should we assess complementary medicine? The alternative medicine market is a massive and growing industry increasingly framing health as ‘wellness' which aims to help us live a life of flourishing rather than just an absence of illness. Is there a point, though, when the therapies shift from helpful to hoax? In this episode with our guests Dr Norman Swan and Dr Penny Caldicott we explore what's reasonable to do if we feel sick, but our doctor doesn't seem to be able to help.Dr Norman SwanNorman is a multi-award winning broadcaster, journalist and commentator. He is the host and creator of the Health Report, on ABC Radio National, which is the longest running health programme in the English-speaking world. Norman consulted for the World Health Organisation on global priorities in health research, putting evidence into health policy and clinical trial registration. He co-facilitated, with Richard Horton (editor in chief of The Lancet) a global ministerial forum in Bamako, West Africa which aimed to advance the global health agenda.In his latest book “So You Want To Live Longer, Younger” Norman scrutinises the science and the fads to offer up a guide to living a longer, healthier life.Dr Penny CaldicottPenny is president of the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association. She's also the founder and director of Invitation to Health, a holistic, patient-centred medical service on the New South Wales Central Coast. Since graduating from medical school more than two decades ago, Penny's passion for understanding the journey that contributes to a patient's disease has led her to practice what's called integrative medicine. In this practice, complementary therapists like naturopaths and nutritionists work together with gp's in an environment designed to apply the best of evidence-based conventional medicine and complementary therapies..Penny believes that this kind of collaborative approach to the prevention of disease can play a significant role in turning back chronic disease in Australia. She's a strong advocate within the medical establishment and to governments for a pre-emptive model of health care, one that aspires to both prevent chronic disease and to accompany patients back towards well being.~~ You can be part of the discussion @PofCharity on Twitter, @PrincipleofCharity on Facebook and @PrincipleofCharityPodcast on Instagram.

Booker Prize-winning British author Julian Barnes returns to Sydney Writers' Festival to introduce his latest novel, Elizabeth Finch. Charting the story of a remarkable teacher through the recollections of a former student, the book has been hailed as a loving tribute to philosophy, a careful evaluation of history and an invitation to think for ourselves. Julian appeared live via video at the 2022 Festival, in conversation with host of ABC Radio National's The Book Show Claire Nichols, to discuss how questions of love, friendship and biography are woven through the story and his broader body of work, including Flaubert's Parrot and The Sense of an Ending.

A hot new novel can keep you turning the pages late into the night, but a different – and some may argue, greater – pleasure comes from the act of re-reading. Whether it's returning to a classic and seeing its humour in a fresh light, or expecting to be swept off your feet by a romance only to find you're now transfixed by the class politics, there's a singular joy in coming back to well-thumbed favourites. ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf co-host Kate Evans chats with authors Bernadette Brennan (Leaping into Waterfalls), Yumna Kassab (Australiana) and Ruth Wilson (The Jane Austen Remedy) about the books they return to time and time again and the lessons they offer.

We read an article this week from the ABC Radio National about the epidemic of body image anxiety. Philosopher and author Heather Widdows says that "we've gone from beauty being one thing we care about to being almost defining of who we are. Societal pressure leads to image obsession."Body image anxiety has been a big part of our lives. With Carla starting her first diet at age 11, Emma developed bulimia from ages 17-23. We always had this belief that our bodies were not good enough. We felt that social pressure for years. We're so grateful for the work we've done to be here, at a place of self-acceptance. We discuss the above article and talk about how we moved through our body image anxiety. This is what we spoke about during the episodeBody image issues are more apparent because we love in a connected and more visual culture. The influence of social media leads to unhealthy comparisons. Ageism and the obsession with youth. Let's embrace our changing faces and acknowledge the utter privilege of ageing.How do we deal with body image issues? Stop talking about other people's bodies and what they should do and don't do.The truth is that our beauty does not define who we are and that we are so much more than just what we look like. When a thought comes to your mind that you're ugly or fat or have a big nose or whatever it is, interrupt your thought pattern and remind yourself of the truth. That beauty is not just skin deep. That what you look like is the least important thing about you.How to interrupt the thought pattern? Get up and shake it off! If you're a MerryBody member, put on a class or a meditation.If you have body image anxiety, using your exercise routine as a way to practise the opposite of that, that being self-acceptance, is a total game-changer. This is how we continue to move through any body image anxiety we feel. With this self-acceptance practice, you're moving your body, you're present in your body and you're able to show gratitude for your body.If you have more questions about this or if something resonated with you, we would love to hear from you.

Ex CIA spy Glenn Carle—'the interrogator'—talks to Paul Barclay about a top secret operation that went dreadfully wrong. An alleged al Qaeda kingpin terrorist was incarcerated for eight years, and subjected to what most of us would call torture, then released without charge, without apology, his life in ruins. All along, without success, Carle tried to convince the CIA they had the wrong man.
