Today’s show is all about flavour, curiosity, and the stories that shape our communities, both in the kitchen and far beyond it.

First up, we’re joined by Laura Simpson, Content Director at Taste.com.au, here to celebrate the launch of their Taste the World campaign. Australians are cooking more adventurously than ever, and this campaign taps right into that growing appetite for new skills, bold flavours, and dishes from every corner of the globe. Laura’s going to share what inspired the project, what it reveals about our cooking habits, and why now is the perfect moment for home cooks to explore the world without leaving your kitchen. Head to taste.com.au for a plethora of recipes!

Then we’re switching gears but staying firmly in the world of discovery with our second guest, branch technician from the Byron library Bronwyn Miller.

If you haven’t stepped inside your library in a while, you might be surprised by just how much is happening behind those doors. We’ll talk about why libraries are more relevant than ever, the unexpected things you can borrow or do there, and the huge range of services on offer — from free Wi‑Fi and PC bookings to scrabble groups, story time sessions, junior listeners, and even a textiles group that meets every fortnight.

We’ll also look at what’s available for seniors, how programs are evolving, and the workshops that have been running and we’ll hear about an exciting community project focused on collecting local stories and historical memories, a chance for people to share their experiences and help preserve the history of our region. Share Your Stories is the name of the project, and we’ll hear how you or someone you know can get involved in preserving Byron's history.

So, whether you’re hungry for global flavours or curious about what your library can offer you in 2026, today’s show is packed with ways of making your tastebuds dance and your book worm wiggle!

Sweet beats for treats and todays vibe is spacious, global, delicious and delightful.
