The Conversation: How Does Brain Training Work?

If you graduated from a university in the UK, what happened to your student loan? Have you finished paying it off, or is it still hanging over you 17 years later?

Sending children to private schools here in the UAE takes a huge chunk out of our budget. So, how much do we actually need to spend to give our kids a good education?

A new report suggests that, for many women, the problem isn’t whether they have health insurance, but what happens when they actually try to use it. Two women are on a mission to create a solution.

And while we’re getting our kids ready for back-to-school, it’s not just about the uniforms, new shoes, and haircuts, we also need to think about the life skills they’ll need.

Did you ever pay off your student loan?

Many experienced women are finding it hard to find employment nowadays. What does ageism in recruitment actually look like?

Dubai Police have joined us to talk about Hemaya International Centre and how 1,402 students from 31 nationalities graduated through its 2026 Summer Student Programme.

We meet a teenager who has lived with more than 50 severe food allergies since infancy.

Thousands of people across 15 US states have reportedly become ill during an outbreak of Cyclospora linked to recalled iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico. Hundreds have been hospitalised and two deaths have been reported. We discuss parasitic illness on the show today.

And we're giving you more info on camps from crocheting to barista workshop.

How old is too old to get hired?

Homegrown favourites under one roof in Mirdif, staycays, Dubai’s heaviest chicken sandwich – we’ve got more on the list!

From the kitchens of some of India’s most celebrated hotels to 15 years helping turn Dishoom into a household name in the UK, Chef Naved Nasir has spent much of his career telling stories through Indian food. 

Open kitchen, no delivery. What’s in a restaurant to have this confidence? We ask the husband-and-wife chefs of LahKee.

Earlier this week a text came into the show asking for a little help. Best friends Ayesha and Yaseen have poured their savings, time and probably quite a lot of tastings into Buttrd, the sandwich business they launched from a cloud kitchen in Business Bay six months ago. The business is trying to survive. They were hoping for a shout-out, we’re giving them a platform. 

What can AED 10 buy you in Dubai these days? Well, this summer, potentially a very good lunch or dinner. 

Plus, we help you plan the perfect night in with the best movies and shows this weekend.
