 Write a Review of Life Matters Podcast
 
J.E., February 17, 2006
Reviewer: J.E.
from Chicago, Illinois
The Life Matters Podcast is produced by ABC News in Australia. Consequently, it sounds a lot like a Sunday morning TV news talk show or an AM radio show. The episode that I listened to even had a panel of three experts who were all on different continents.
Because it is professionally produced, this podcast sounded great. But it was a bit dry and boring for my taste. I think it is aimed at an older audience, and I don't fit that demographic just yet. The topics for past shows sound like interesting, current issues, but I'm afraid the news-like presentation is rather off-putting for me. I don't think I'll tune in again.

You'll meet Stella Young and hear about arguably her most important relationship, her wheelchair and on Modern Dilemmas we look at friendship and when to walk away. Is there a right time? and what's a 'frenemy'?

Money changes everything - money, family and feuds; Most of us will have had our own experience of just how bitter and intractable things can become within families when it comes to matters of money. So how can we navigate the sensitive issues around succession planning and family trusts? Why do many Australians still want a tan? The NSW Government's announcement of a ban on solariums has put our relationship with tans in the spotlight. We look at their decision in the broader context of our cultural perceptions around the bronzed Aussie. And walking with a puma, Peter Allison's misadventures in South America.

In today's program we hear from energy and finance analyst Nicole Foss on why she thinks an international credit crunch threatens our energy future. Also a challenging question for anyone facing it, should we sell our family home to finance our old age? Author Robin Barker suggests we should do our kids a favour and plan to move into residential care before we become so old and frail that we're a burden. And we meet debut novelist Michael Sala. The Last Thread is written through the eyes of a young boy called Michaelis, but that young boy is really himself and his own story of a turbulent childhood. Plus your letters and calls on our recent stories.
