A recent episode of the iconic kids ABC show Bluey, has upset some parents.

There are claims of body shaming, fat shaming and poor behaviour modelling for kids.

It has raised the question about how we discuss weight in front of and with our kids, so that they are aware of the health implications of being overweight while also making sure they know that weight isn’t always an indicator of a person’s health.

So how do we talk weight, weight loss and health with our kids and ourselves in 2023

Bluey, Body Shaming & How To Actually Talk To Kids About Weight

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode contains descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died.

It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.

As her family enters a period of deep sorry business in Central Australia, the nation is left grappling with the horrific circumstances surrounding her death. A 47-year-old man has been charged with her murder, while Alice Springs has been pushed to breaking point.

Today, we speak with Catherine Liddle, Arrernte and Luritja woman and CEO of SNAICC, to move past the headlines. We discuss the legacy of this little girl, the reality of life in the town camps, and why her family is pleading with politicians not to turn this tragedy into a political football.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Brittney Spears has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge ending her DUI case
The Reserve Bank is expected to raise interest rates today
Rudy Giuliani is reportedly on ventilation after contracting pneumonia, his lungs damaged after the September 11 attack
Princess Eugenie is expecting her third baby as Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcome their third child Nautus

HEADLINES: Calls For Calm In Alice Springs & Trump Moves On Hormuz 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/42d1be12-8a3c-45fc-99fe-b43f01726734/transcript

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet.

As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations.

Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Friends urge Harry Styles to get a prenup
Hearings delving into anti-semitism in Australia begin today
Trump says he's unlikely to accept a new Iranian peace deal because "The Iranians had not yet paid a big enough price"
Aussie Sam Kerr is now Chelsea's all time leading goal scorer after slotting her 64th
The Academy has brought in new rules that blocks AI from ever winning an Oscar
