  • Zionist bias

    As a long time listener and usually a massive fan I have been extremely disappointed with TDA failure to provide impartial coverage of the genocide in Gaza

    Clearly a strongly Jewish / Zionist bias which is entirely inappropriate for Australia

  • Corpo sellouts

    Used to be great but it’s disappointing that they have recently begun disguising advertisements and commercial partnerships as journalism. My advice: don’t treat your audience like idiots.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What are microplastics?
Q: Okay, Zara, before I talk to Dr. Nick Chartres, I want you to explain to me, what do you know about microplastics?
Zara shares personal observations and acknowledges that much of her knowledge comes from casual sources like TikTok, while recognizing experts have studied the topic extensively and that the episode will clarify what is known about health risks and exposure.
Why is PCOS getting a new name?
Q: What has been the medical community's reaction in Australia?
The response has been largely positive, with doctors feeling more empowered to diagnose and manage risks like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease earlier under the PMOS framework.
Why is PCOS getting a new name?
Q: Why change the name from PCOS to PMOS?
Because the old name implied cysts and an ovarian focus, while the condition is actually driven by hormonal and metabolic factors that affect many organs, so PMOS better reflects the full scope of the condition.
Why is PCOS getting a new name?
Q: How common is PCOS/PMOS and how is it diagnosed?
It's very common, affecting about 1 in 8 women globally, with diagnostic criteria based on multiple factors including irregular periods, high androgens, and ultrasound findings, though not all patients have every symptom.
What does life with MS really look like?
Q: Why do outdated perceptions matter for people with MS?
The hosts discuss how stereotypes influence decisions around disclosure and support, leading to reduced access to care and increased stress, which can worsen outcomes.
