2022/05/21

Well, what a week for being in the live TV business. I’ve become a little addicted to Dancing with the Stars. I was first drawn to the show to support my colleague Kerre Woodham, who in a crazy turn of events has been recalled to the show and, in her own words, is going to crawl across the Covid corpses of her fellow competitors to try and get a hand on the Glitterball. But it didn’t take long for me to get hooked. It turned out DWTS was the entertainment I didn’t know I needed. After two years of

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/05/15

Dr Nikki Stamp is one of Australia’s leading heart surgeons, an author and TV presenter. Nikki always wanted to be a surgeon but never expected just how tough the job would be – the long hours, sexism, burnout and bullying. Her new book ‘Scrubbed’ details the issues faced by those in the public health and how she’s turning her attention to fixing it – and it's a story with so many similarities to what we are facing here in New Zealand too. Dr Nikki Stamp joined Francesca Rudkin from Perth. LISTEN

Mike Van de Elzen: Supper club Coq au Vin

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/05/14

I’ve never made Coq au Vin and I thought it was a lot more complicated than it is! 3 cups of red wine – is this a dish for family? Does the alcohol burn off? This week we had one of our very popular supper clubs at the school. It was super cold! and we had all the fires going. Because it was so cold, it was great as I could dig out a real winter warmer. Coq au Vin. While Coq au Vin might sound fancy, it is really just a simple French chicken stew. Back in the day they used to use Old roosters in

Can we talk about the follow up of a story we had previously discussed? A couple of months ago we chatted about the first patient receiving a pig's heart and were super excited about it. Sadly that patient died two months later, hindering the study and creating conversations around whether or not pig's hearts can cope with the needs of a human recipient. This week it was discovered that the heart that was transplanted from the pig was actually infected with a pig virus known as porcine

Wake by Shelley Burr. The latest in a crop of really terrific Australian crime thrillers – they all share similar characteristics. Small isolated town, atmospheric, the heat, and people in small communities telling lots of lies. Centres around the case of a missing girl which has never been resolved though her sister has often been suspected of the crime, and a Private Investigator turns up years later to try and solve it – or is he really just interested in the million-dollar reward…?

Sadly, as we age our ability to hear decreases due to damage from loud noises and medical treatments like cancer treatments. We are born with tiny hair cells in our ears, which when we are young stick up and detect the vibrations from sound waves sending signals to our brain about the frequency and amplitude or pitch and volume of the sounds around us. Hair cells develop in the embryo and our inner and outer hair cells work together to help us to hear. The outer hair cells expand and contract in
