Every 12 years, our skeletons undergo a complete transformation.

Prof. Tim Spector and Prof. Cyrus Cooper discuss how to avoid Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile, significantly increases the risk of fractures from minor incidents, often without any noticeable symptoms. Worldwide, it affects one in three women and one in five men over fifty, leading to pain, potential disability and loss of independence.

In today’s episode, Jonathan, Tim and Cyrus ask the question: How can understanding osteoporosis and implementing targeted lifestyle changes enhance bone health and reduce the risk of fractures?

In addition, he’s a Professor of Musculoskeletal Science at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford.

Introducing Union Girl Summer: Why Unions Are Good For Women and Everyone from Hearsay.

Follow the show: Hearsay

With the SAG-AFTRA and Writers’ Guild of America strikes, 2023 was the year of the union. While the media buzzed about the solidarity and popularity of unions, we have known for a while that unions have always been beneficial for all workers, but especially women workers. What caused the resurgence in support for unions? How do unions play a major role in the fight for equal pay? Why should you seek unionized workplaces when job searching? We talked with Liz Schuler and Jesica Bush about the importance of unions in creating workplaces that at minimum keep us safe and at maximum allow us to thrive.

Introducing Mitchell Tenpenny Wants to Make His Family Proud from Biscuits & Jam.

Follow the show: Biscuits & Jam

Mitchell Tenpenny basically grew up in the music business, with a grandmother who was the CEO of Sony Publishing and a mother who advocated for songwriters throughout her career. It was this unique vantage point that made Mitchell realize he wanted to be a songwriter, too, but the journey took him a while. It wasn’t until his boss on a construction site put him in touch with an LA producer that Mitchell’s own music career started to take shape. Now, he’s releasing an ambitious and deeply personal new 20-track studio album called The Third, a reference to both the father and grandfather he’s named after. Sid talks to Mitchell about some of his favorite songs on the new record, his grandmother’s cooking, the stories behind his beloved rescue dogs, and how his faith is reflected in his music and his career.

When a group of Mormon women had their LGBTQ children come out to them, they realized that their culture and religion had not prepared them to be supportive. So they formed an organization to help educate and empower other Idaho parents, despite the state’s hostile politics. Jen Blair is part of the Mama Dragons group, and is joining host Lindsay Van Allen to share how they’re supporting families in the Treasure Valley. 

Mama Dragons will have a booth at Boise Pride this weekend. Click here for more info on the event.
