Once, perhaps twice a year we come together to consider the sacrifice of a few for the many - the servicemen who went to war on our behalf. To date, Anzac Day has been about two world wars and, as you will hear from the interviews today, it has grown to recognise the sacrifice of men who went to war in the Vietnam, Borneo, Afghanistan wars to name but a few.

I hear so many times and from so many different people that 'a serviceman never comes back the same as he left', the unseen emotional scars wound in a way that is hard to explain to those who have never experienced war. That is why these opportunities to bring servicemen together offer support from a community who have been there, who all, in fact, speak the same language are so valuable. Some of the men I interviewed have only recently considered going to an Anzac Day service, such is the prejudice they experienced from local RSL's on their return from Vietnam.  I have been honoured to interview them all and I thank the Hornsby RSL, the Hornsby Sub-Branch and the wonderful interviewees for their time and willingness to share with us.

Thanks go to Clancy, Phillip, Philip Chin Kwan, Bill Roberts, Jenny, Joanne and Kate for the interviews and to Hornsby RSL for hosting the breakfast, to the Hornsby Sub-Branch for hosting the Anzac Dawn Service and asking Triple H to broadcast live and to Neil Ashworth for editing all their interviews with intro and outro music!

What does palliative care look like?
Can we prepare for the end of our life? Is it indeed, our responsibility to prepare and let others know how we would like the end of our life to be?

​Today's show draws on the wisdom of 3 women who work in aged care and palliative care and can share their experience of working in an industry that is dealing with people at the most vulnerable end of their lives.

Michelle Crowe, Jennifer Smith RN and Elizabeth Dolan RN expand the conversation to give us each an opportunity to take a different attitude to approaching the end of our lives.

World Health Day has highlighted depression as a leading cause for concern this year with an 18% increase over the last 10 years to 2015 and my big question is who cares for the carers?

My guests today were Dr Maxine Szramka and Dr Clayton Spencer - two powerhouses in their field. Todays subject was highlighting the major concerns around doctor suicide, not just the outcome but how we have come to suicide being the solution.

It is a very sobering show and one which spawns longer and deeper conversations.

What patterns do we lay in our youth that affects our outcomes later in life? I have two interviews today which give examples and perspectives on the importance of addressing our hurts and experiences when young as they affect so much of our social and emotional outcomes.

My guests are Rachel Andras and Simone Isemann
