Empaths... in Space?

Welcome to This Might Sting, with your hosts Dr. Aidan Baron and Julie McCrossin AM! In this teaser, you'll hear a bit more about our show and what you can expect from coming episodes. Don't forget to subscribe!

Teaser

It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what’s good for us and what’s not. There’s too much information out there - and a lot of it is totally fact-free. You hear so much about what is and isn’t healthy - is cheese safe? Does wine cure heart disease? - and it feels like everyone has a syndrome or a disorder or a diagnosis.

Each week, our hosts - Dr. Aidan Baron and Julie McCrossin AM - will discuss the latest health news with experts to bring you a healthy dose of Normal. Side effects may include: reduced feelings of existential dread; knowing what to actually ask your doctor to get real answers; the confidence to distinguish between fact and fiction; and reduced inflammation of the bowel. (It’s rare but we’re told it happens.)
