BLABBING WITH:
"Cedar Boys" is an action/drama/thriller set in Sydney's western suburbs. The film gives a poignant insight into the lives of 3 young men of Lebanese heritage, exploring segregation, ostracism and racism - post 9/11. I spoke to the film's director, Serhat Caradee.

Stephanie Simson, Program Coordinator of employment and training program "Charcoal Lane" took time out to share with us how this project is going so far with their young participants. A great Northside restaurant and cafe initiative that skills up those experiencing difficulties on many levels.

Most people find discussing funerals is extremely confronting and uncomfortable. But when someone close passes away, funeral arrangements can be overwhelming. Many of us wouldn't know what to do nor what our options are. Pietta Lang joined us from a non-profit website which gives information on most aspects of funerals and shared with us why she is no longer afraid of dying.

"Food For Thought" this month went to Macedonia with the utterly delightful Vesna Stefanov - who talked culture, politics, partying and more!
