August 07, 2022444: Detaching from Outcomes with Melanie Zanetti aka Chilli Heeler
Melanie Zanetti is an actor who splits her time between Australia and Los Angeles. She’s appeared for years on our screens in films and television - everything from the supernatural thriller “Raven’s Hollow” to “Young Rock”.

However, it’s her work on a TV show called Bluey that is her most high-profile gig to date.

Melanie Zanetti plays the voice of Chilli Heeler, the mum of the two young girls Bingo and Bluey and the wife of Bandit Heeler.

If you’ve never watched Bluey - let me tell you. In my opinion, it’s the greatest sitcom written since Seinfeld, and emotionally - you’d be hard-pressed to find a show that is more wholesome, honest, raw and demonstrative of the realities of parenting, child-rearing and indeed the challenges of being a little kid.

I get into this with Melanie - but to see my city of Brisbane represented on TV makes me so emotional, for the first time in my life watching Bluey made me feel like my city mattered.

If you’ve never watched Bluey, before you listen to this - open up the ABC iview portal on your phone, tv or computer, and check out the following episodes:
Curry Swap
Army
Stories
Space and
Sleepytime
That final episode just the other day ranked #2 on IMDB on a list of the 100 greatest TV episodes of ALL TIME.

Melanie is an absolute delight

July 31, 2022 443: Living Younger, Longer with Australia's other dad Dr Norman Swan
Dr Norman Swan is a physician and journalist most recently known for Coronacast - the Walkley Award winning Podcast that he hosts with Tegan Taylor.

Combining his decades of experience in journalism and healthcare, Dr Swan has a way of cutting through myths, half-truths and misconceptions about our health and lifestyle choices that deliver the absolute facts to us - in my experience allowing me to make a informed decision, as much as that may be an uncomfortable decision.

Following his most recent best-selling book “So you think you know what’s good for you?” Dr Norman Swan returns with another no-nonsense book “So you want to live younger, longer”. It’s a book packed with the latest research and guidelines to maintain vitality into your later years.

And don’t think that if you’re in your 20’s this stuff isn’t for you. Choices we make in our 20’s and 30’s can be the difference between us missing your grandkid’s birthday because you’re hiking the Camino de Santiago in your 70’s and missing your grandkid’s birthday because it’s at a venue that involves stairs.

Dr Richard is the Chief Economist and former Executive Director of The Australia Institute. He is a prominent Australian economist, author and public policy commentator. Richard came on the show at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's interesting to look back, and hear his predictions about what would happen, and how they compare to what is happening now. We discuss climate change, and what the economy will look like on the other side of lockdowns.
