    Can you adapt to allergies or does the dog have to go? Dec 27, 2023
    Show notes

    Pet allergies can range from mild to severe — from a nuisance to, occasionally, anaphylaxis.

    When all you've got is some itchiness and a runny nose, are you doomed to a life without a furry friend?

    Norman and Tegan discuss the possibility of building up a tolerance to allergens.

    Why do you feel so tired after a big meal? Dec 20, 2023
    Show notes

    It's holiday season, and family feasts are inevitable. But is the post-feast nap also inevitable?

    Norman and Tegan explain why you get so tired after a big meal. And no ... it has nothing to do with being around your extended family.

    Can listening to music make you smarter? Dec 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Binaural beats are a phenomenon that happens in your brain when you listen to two different tones in each ear.

    There are lots of claims surrounding them — that they can trigger different brain waves and promote different states of mind.

    Norman and Tegan are here to unpack whether there's any evidence this musical illusion can aid with concentration.

    What is the perfect nap duration? Nov 29, 2023
    Show notes

    Napping can be risky. Will you wake up feeling better or worse?

    There's no doubt that sometimes an afternoon snooze is an absolute necessity.

    Norman and Tegan explore what's going on when you nap, and what you can do to get the most benefit.

    Are probiotics worth the money? Nov 22, 2023
    Show notes

    If you've ever been told to take a probiotic — after a course of antibiotics, or just for your general health — you may be wondering what they actually do.

    Well, Norman and Tegan are here to dig into the research about these over-the-counter supplements, which claim to support digestion, boost immunity and even improve mood.

    Does it matter whether I enjoy exercise? Nov 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Consistent exercise is good for you, but does it make any difference whether you actually enjoy what you're doing?

    Norman and Tegan explore how fun might help you establish a work-out habit that benefits your body and your mind.

    End of Coronacast, but we're not going away! Nov 08, 2023
    Show notes

    As the saying goes: All good things must come to an end. But don't go away, we've got something big coming!

    Obviously we're not talking about the pandemic — as it certainly isn't good and it certainly isn't over.

    We're talking about Coronacast: your little pandemic friend that (hopefully!) helped you through the scary times over the last three years.

    Today is Coronacast's last episode, and we're going out with a bang! What's going on with case numbers (spoiler: rising again)? Are we finally seeing the rise of a new variant? And what do we think we've learned over the last three years?

    BUT DON'T UNSUBSCRIBE! While Coronacast will be leaving us like OG SARS-CoV-2, Tegan and Norman aren't going anywhere.

    They'll be staying right here with a new show that's all about answering the health questions everyone's asking!

    We know good health information is hard to come by and it's impossible to know who to trust. So send in your your health questions to our new show: What's That Rash?

    Every week, Norman and Tegan will have a swing at answering them, and give you some useful information and amazing stories to help you live a healthier life.

    Email us at thatrash@abc.net.au. First episode out 15th November.

    Also, genuinely, A MASSIVE thank you to every single person whose ever listened to Coronacast and/or sent in a question over the past few years.

    Without you, we've never have done more than 500 episodes over more than three years. You're the reason we're here and the reason we've loved doing this show. So thankyou!


    INTRODUCING — Hello AI Overlords (and some Coronacast news!) Oct 25, 2023
    Show notes

    Hello Coronacasters - it's been a while! We have a little bit of news to share about what's coming up for Coronacast.

    Also, Tegan's here to share a very special podcast recommendation!

    It's a new season of Science Friction! It's called Hello AI Overlords - and it's an entire season diving deep into AI. Where's it come from? Where are we heading? And what happens if it's controlled by only a handful of people.

    So make sure you check it out right now! Tell all your friends. And why not tell ChatGPT too.


    Getting a (strong) grip on Long COVID Sep 27, 2023
    Show notes

    There's still so much to learn about COVID, and this week we have two big things about Long COVID and how long we spread the virus.

    Firstly, a recent study has drawn a link between hand grip strength and post Long COVID symptoms, especially when it comes to who gets it and how badly.

    And secondly, a study from Hong Kong has tried to nail down what's going on in a person's immune system and how that effects the duration of shedding the virus.

    That's on this week's Coronacast.

    (And please note, we're taking the next few weeks off! But we'll be back in October)
