THE HOT SEAT with City Park Radio

Created at community radio station City Park Radio in Launceston, Tasmania – The Hot Seat profiles someone from our local community.

HEALTH SPEAK?

SEASON ONE is the fastest (and funniest) way to learn which health professionals you really need in your life. The statistics tell us that most Australians don’t know enough “Health Speak” to properly look after their health. From Bum Doctors to Speech Pathologists, Dieticians to Exercise Physiologists, in this podcast Penny Terry rejects the health jargon, bans the big words and leaves the Latin alone as she finds out who these people are, how they can help and what they do… to you.
Health Speak? is created by City Park Radio in partnership with Healthy Tasmania Pty Ltd. This project was funded by the Healthy Tasmania Community Innovations Grants through the Tasmanian Government.

SEASON TWO  will help us to help others and to take the load off our health professionals and other community services who are flat out during this COVID-19 pandemic. You’ll hear stories from people and support services who are doing it really tough right now. They’ll share some practical and simple things we can all do from home.
Season two is made possible by Healthy Tasmania Pty Ltd with support from the Healthy George Town project.

SEASON THREE goes beyond the hand hygiene to work out what other key skills we need to live WELL during a pandemic (with others and in our own minds)! Penny Terry goes out into the community, into businesses and chats with experts to see what people are doing to ‘deal’ with this pandemic, what works and what doesn’t, as we all do our best to live through it. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll remember and we’ll learn, as brush up on those life-skills that are crucial right now. By the end of the season you’ll have a full COVID-kit, bursting with tools to help you get on with life.
Big thanks from Healthy Tasmania Pty Ltd to all those who have contributed to the interviews and a massive cheer to our supporters Bell Bay Aluminium via the George Town Council as part of the Healthy George Town Project.
