October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while we often talk about the statistics, the screenings and the treatments, today we focus on the people behind those diagnoses. Mary Patten and her mum, Jane Gosling, share their very different breast cancer journeys, exploring the challenges of diagnosis, treatment and facing cancer together as two generations. 

Who would look after your children when you pass away if their grandparents and wider family are thousands of miles away? It's our Wills Clinic today with Jazmine Stevenson from Stevenson Bernard Law Associates

And the brilliant comedian Zarna Garg joins us to answer Helen’s questions, sharing her humour, insights and unique take on life.

Light for Life: A daughter's and a mother's breast cancer stories

October is Baby Loss Awareness Month, and today we're talking about how we support families through something so devastating. What role do healthcare professionals play? Why do so many people still feel unable to talk about their experiences?

When we talk about pregnancy and baby loss, understandably much of the conversation centres on mothers. But what about dads?

We're also exploring raising children who understand that their boundaries matter, and so do other people’s.  

And on our Money Matters hour, we ask: When does living somewhere become financially unsustainable? How do you know whether you need to change your spending, increase your income, or seriously consider whether you can afford to stay?

The other side of baby loss

Dubai’s latest Michelin Guide has plenty to celebrate: 19 new entries, and a second star for homegrown favourite Orfali Bros. But alongside the congratulations, there’s a practical question: what happens when a restaurant recommended by the guide isn’t currently open? 

We speak to a food business that's continuing to expand even during uncertain times.

After 13 years, Frying Pan Adventures of Arva and Farida that has taken residents and visitors through Old Dubai’s streets, is making its last walking tour.

William Mullally fills us in with movies to consider watching this weekend.


From the big screen, we also bring you to the Dubai stage adaptation of Perfect Strangers.

And a new winter festival has been announced for Dubai, with plans to bring more than 150 food and retail vendors to the waterfront beside Dubai Festival City Mall.
