On this month's 'Health Trip', Gill Stannard talked us through the difference between gastro, food poisoning and more serious digestive infections. And also discussed the importance of hygiene and how that can affect what goes on in our stomachs!

We enjoyed a lively chat with author, Ida Lichter, about her book, "Muslim Women Reformers". The book showcases the efforts of Muslim women (and men) around the world who risk their lives to bring about change to the way Islam is interpreted - and imposed - on women and men.

The team from Sibling Support - Angela, Davina and Grace - dropped in to wax lyrical about their community-based resource. The website has been set up to offer support to those who have a brother or sister suffering from substance abuse or mental health issues. The dynamics of a family can often be thrown into turmoil during such situations and often the focus is upon the troubled child - and the needs of siblings are not necessarily as big a priority. Sibling Support extends their help to assist those who need it.

Western Edge Youth Arts Artistic Director, Dave Kelman and actors Solomon and Daniel dropped into Triple R to talk about their play about Afro-Australian idenity called, "Black Face, White Mask". The play tackles real life scenarios of racism, perceptions and what it means to be "Afro-Australian". This play is designed to challenge the audience about notions of 'casual racism' and how Australians deal with this all too common occurence in the day to day existence of members of diverse communities. All this - AND the play is FREE!
