Weekdays

Bec had a chat with Fiona Cooper Smyth who is one half of the act of Divalicious and they were at this year's Fringe Festival. Their act is about making women of a certain age feel a bit better about their body. The act is definitely not kid friendly but it is set to make audience members laugh. 

Michael Thomson joined Bec in the studio to commemorate 40 year of being a news anchor for Channel 9.

Bec had a chat with Angelo Barbaro who is the Manager of the Automotive Branch at Consumer Protection. They spoke about the recalls of cars with dangerous airbag, Takata. 

Defectve Takata airbags can deploy with too much force and shoot out metal fragments. Or they can under-inflate. To know if you have a Takata airbag it is best to contact your manufacturer directly and ask them. Upon contact, the manufacturer has three weeks to replace the airbag for free. These airbags have casued more than 230 injuries and at least 23 deaths globally with one of those being in Australia.  

You can check if your vehicle is safe by going to the website, www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au or by texting, "Takata" to 048 724 7224.

Bec had a chat with Jodi Koepke who is the Managing Director of MOPS: mothers of Pre Schoolers. MOPS is a place to connect with other mums and a place to have some fun and have some time for yourself as your kids are taken care of. They are invested in mums and women as leaders. 

Bec had a chat with Graham Irvine who is the Head of Christian Education at Kingsway Christian College. Today they spoke about how we can help our kids prepare for a big change. Graham mentioned that, "Whenever we are with our kids in those sort of stressful situations that we do everything we can to dial our own anxiety back". It is OK to feel feelings of anxiousness as a parent when big change happens but remember to give yourself space to feel those feelings. However, try not to send those feelings to your kids. But if you find that your kids might be suffering about the big change, it is good to have open communication with your kids by asking them how they are feeling. By doing this you will help them and yourself.

Bec had a chat Sue Joy who is the author of the Joyful Table and today Sue shared her French Onion dip and Dip Crackers. Her French Onion Dip has all the good stuff in it and it tastes exactly like the store bought one. This dip contains cashews, coconut yoghurt, onion and garlic powder. It is very simple to make and you will not be able to taste the difference. She also made some gluten free crackers to accompany the dip.The recipe for the French Onion dip is on her website at: https://susanjoyfultable.com/recipes/snacks-dips/french-onion-dip/ and her dip crackers are at:  https://susanjoyfultable.com/recipes/bread-crackers-crusts/dip-crackers/

Bec had a chat with Kerry-Ann Winmar who is an Aboriginal elder from the Whajuck Balladong people. They had a chat about the noongar tours that Kerry-Ann does. Kerry-Ann comes from a family that used to share Aboriginal information concerning the Noongar culture. Thus, Kerry-Ann decided to create these tours to help educate people and to help maintain and keep her familie's stories. These tours run at Kings Park and South Perth. She talks about the bush lands and how one of her family members were born there.
