Is Brexit Reversing? Dr Keith Suter Breaks It Down - 20th May 2025

Can pets improve our mental health — and does it matter what kind of animal we choose?

In this episode, we explore the growing body of research on how companion animals influence emotional wellbeing across the lifespan. From reducing stress and loneliness to supporting empathy, routine, and social connection, pets can play a meaningful role in mental health — but the benefits may depend on the type of pet and the strength and consistency of the bond.

Joining us is Andrew Cornwell, resident veterinarian and owner of Cardiff and Cameron Park Veterinary Hospitals. Andrew breaks down what current studies suggest about attachment, why continuous interaction appears to matter more than occasional contact, and how different animals — from dogs and cats to fish, rabbits, and birds — may influence outcomes differently.

We also discuss what this means for children, older adults, and families considering a pet for companionship and emotional support, along with practical guidance on how to maximise the wellbeing benefits of living with animals.

A balanced, evidence-informed look at the powerful connection between people and pets — and what really makes that relationship beneficial.

Are Pets Good for Mental Health? 

What really happens between a barrel of crude oil and the petrol in your car?

Today we explore how crude oil is transformed into the fuels and everyday products we rely on. With global energy markets facing ongoing uncertainty, understanding the refining process helps explain why prices move and why supply disruptions matter.

Joining us is Professor Zach Aman, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Pro Vice-Chancellor of Enterprise Education at the University of Western Australia. He breaks down, in clear and practical terms, how crude oil is separated into petrol, diesel, jet fuel, plastics, and more — and why different types of crude require different refining strategies.

We also discuss how international events influence fuel prices, why there can be delays between extraction and delivery, and what this means for Australia’s energy security.

A clear look inside the refinery — and beyond the pump.

Are tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants really inflammatory — or is that just internet myth?

Today we explore the facts about nightshade vegetables, a group of nutrient-rich foods that often spark debate in health and wellness circles. While some online sources suggest they may cause inflammation or digestive issues, what does the scientific evidence actually say?

We’re joined by Emma Beckett, food and nutrition scientist, who breaks down the research in clear, practical terms. Emma explains what nightshades are, why some individuals may experience sensitivity, and how these vegetables fit into a balanced, healthy diet.

From their vitamins and antioxidants to their role in heart and gut health, this conversation helps separate evidence from exaggeration — and offers simple guidance on how to confidently include (or substitute) these foods in everyday meals.

A balanced look at one of the most talked-about food groups — grounded in science, not trends.
