1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Today's Good News podcast is brought to you by Upbank.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Up Bank is the bank with no extra fees, no

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: fossil fuel investments, no bs, just smart banking already.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: And this is the Daily This is the Daily OS. Oh,

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: now it makes sense.

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Saturday,

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: the thirtieth of November. I'm Zara, I'm Sam Sam. It's

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: been a long week, and what better way to end

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: the week than to talk about some of the brightness

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: that exists in the world. And I want to start

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: somewhere very personal for you.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: This is a story I couldn't be more excited by.

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: I have asthma. I carry my paffa with me everywhere.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: It has been a weird one because it was really

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: bad when I was a little kid, and then it

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: kind of got better when I was an adolescent, and

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: now it's gotten a bit.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Tricky again, fully grown adult.

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so there's nothing cooler than having a puffer

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: in my pocket. But there's big news this week which

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: actually could be one of the biggest developments in asthma

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: medicine in over fifty years, and that is from the

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: results of a trial that was experimenting different ways to

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: give people steroids, so medicine after that experienced a severe

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: asthma attack, and so currently the way that you're given

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: steroids after a severe asthma attack is over a long

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: course of tablets and each tablet has a tiny part

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: of the recommended dose of the steroid in it. You

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: take it for a couple of weeks, sometimes a couple

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: of months and recover. What the study was trying to

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: figure out is is there a difference if you give

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: the person experiencing the attack all the steroid dosage in

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: one vaccine as they're almost experiencing the attack. And what

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the study found, and the study was published in the

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Lancet Respiratory Medicine Journal, it found that it actually has

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: a major difference in the speed of the recovery and

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: how quickly you can bounce back to full fitness after

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: an attack when you get that vaccine.

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: So scientific discovery could make it a lot quicker and

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: faster for people who are experiencing asthma attacks to come

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: out the other side of it exactly.

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: And it can also be administered from home potentially, So

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: it really could change the way that we think about

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: asthma treatment. Asthma is a condition that affects about three

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: hundred and forty million people all around the world, and this,

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: as I said, is the first major development in the

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: treatment of asthma in over fifty years.

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty incredible and also kind of shocking

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: that there hasn't been a major development in fifty years,

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: given how widespread and how common it is. But you know,

51
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: that's I guess what happened.

52
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Doctors always say it's a really easy one to try

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: and manage. It's a hard one to try and get

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: on top of, and so maybe this could make a difference.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: Love it.

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to stick on the theme of medicine,

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: and that's because this week Lifeblood confirmed that almost five

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: eighteen year olds have become blood donors in Australia over

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: the past year. See the youth are okay, I know

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: they are more than okay. It actually means that this

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: group's so this group of eighteen year olds are the

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 3: largest new donor group by age in the country, which

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: I just think is so wonderful.

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: It's an incredible achievement from a group that would have

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: just finished their HSC or VC.

66
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, that a school is they're rolling up

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: their sleeves and Lifeblood said that together the eighteen year

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: olds have made more than ten six hundred donations, which

69
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: we know would go so far in helping the lives

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: of other Australians and they said in a media release

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: young adults are essential to Lifeblood's mission to gain an

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 3: additional one hundred thousand new donors in the next year

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: to meet increased patient demand.

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: And it's not much of the population that actually donates

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: blood right.

76
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: No, it's around three percent of the eligible population who

77
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: currently donates. So Lifeblood are really pushing for more donors,

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: and especially more donors from the next generation so that

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: they can roll up their sleeves and they can get involved.

80
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I remember a bit of work we did with Lifeblood

81
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: trying to help educate people on why it's so important

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: to donate blood, and they said one of the key

83
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: reasons people don't is for the snacks and that people

84
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: love the chalky milk.

85
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: And was thinking it was just altruism, but actually it

86
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: was about the snacks.

87
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes a muslibar can fix everything. Nazara, I want to

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: bring you a story from the cinema, and the movie

89
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: is changing pace a bit.

90
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: Here yeah, it is. It is slightly different.

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: The movie in cinema business hasn't really had much good

92
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: news over the past couple of years.

93
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Called Barbie good news.

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: That was good news, but you know, the rise of

95
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: streaming services a pandemic. The movie landscape has changed, and

96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people listening could probably think

97
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: of a local or independent cinema at least that might

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: have show up shop in the last five years. But

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: in good news for cinemas, the release of Moana TiO

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: is bucking the trend and it's predicted to bring in

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five million US dollars, So that's

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: about two hundred and sixty nine million Aussie dollars in

103
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: ticket sales in the US alone over this weekend. And

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: it's the Thanksgiving weekend, which is a big weekend for

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the release of movies. But this could be the most

106
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: successful one ever. It's going to overtake Frozen two, which

107
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Charlie holds the record. One other bit of good news

108
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to highlight when I was reading about Moana

109
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Io is it's one of the first films to feature

110
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: film composers that rose to fame via TikTok fascinating. The

111
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: composers are Abigail Barlow twenty three and Emily Bear twenty six.

112
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Their kind of duo name is Barlow and Bear and

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: oh I've seen that.

114
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

115
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: They rose to fame on TikTok because they made an unofficial.

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: Musical for Bridgeton.

117
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

118
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: They won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album for

119
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the release of this unofficial musical. They had a little

120
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: issue where they kind of got sued by Netflix and

121
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: then they sorted it out. Now they're composing for Disney.

122
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: They're also working on a musical for Broadway, and I

123
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: guess there's no saying how far they'll go.

124
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: I see what you did there, though I have not

125
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: seen Moana too. But two people where we went around

126
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: the office and said our highs and loads of the week,

127
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: said that seeing it was their high. So I don't

128
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: know if you need much more of an endorsement than that.

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: But moving on, what is the news from sea life?

130
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: This is a nice one to talk about from the

131
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: conservation world. So you know, a macaroni penguin, so think

132
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: about happy feet, a macaroni in happy Feet, the penguins

133
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: with the bitty yellow. So the average lifespan of a

134
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: Macaroni penguin in the wild is eight to fifteen years.

135
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: If they're in zoo or a conservation environment, it's about

136
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: thirty years. And that's why the fortieth birthday celebration this

137
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: week of the celebrity of SeaWorld San Diego, a Macaroni

138
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: penguin called best Friend.

139
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: Is such a remarkable, bizarre name for anything. I don't

140
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: mind it. I think it's a cool name. Best Friend

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: the Macaroni penguin exactly. So.

142
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Best Friend was born in nineteen eighty four.

143
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

144
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: He's currently SeaWorld's oldest penguin, and he's thought to be

145
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: one of the oldest penguins in the entire continent of

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: North America. Macaroni penguin populations in the wild have stagnated

147
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, namely because of climate

148
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: change and human activity, and they are the most abundant

149
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: penguin species. So the ability to study best Friend as

150
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: he gets older is really really special for the staff

151
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: at San Diego Zoo. Have a listened to how they

152
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: reacted on his birthday. I think you'll sense the excitement.

153
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 4: He is the.

154
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Sweetest sort man in the floor world you can't see

155
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: very well, but of.

156
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: Course due to that ball.

157
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 4: Friend, we love you so much.

158
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: Every single we have used it.

159
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: And now is there a one more story? And it's

160
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: something that's close to your heart. Not quite the same

161
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: as asthma, but tell us something about something you.

162
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Love a lot.

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: I love air friers. It's look, I'm not a chef

164
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: by any stretch of the imagination. I actually very rarely cook,

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: but when I do cook, it's always with an air fryer.

166
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: And that's why I was so pleased to read. I

167
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: don't know if this is like a backhanded good news,

168
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: but that's okay, I'll go with it. I was really

169
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: excited to read that air friers have been confirmed as

170
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: the least polluting cooking method.

171
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: You've always been one for the planet.

172
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: Just doing it for the people. So according to new

173
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: research that was published by the University of Birmingham, air

174
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: fryers produce a tiny fraction of the indoor air pollution

175
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: emitted by other cooking methods, so things like pan and

176
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: deep frying, and I'd argue get a better outcome because

177
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: your meal is just slightly charred and excellently crunchy.

178
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: Is this a direct call out to Brevel or.

179
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: Whoever you make Hello, please send me one and I'll

180
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: just keep talking about how great they are. So the researchers,

181
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: in doing this experiment, cooked chicken breast using five different

182
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: methods pan frying, sturf frying, deep fat frying, boiling, and

183
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: air frying. And they did it in this controlled kitchen setting.

184
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: And then they measured the level of two different things,

185
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 3: something called particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Don't know

186
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 3: what either of those two things are. What I do know, though,

187
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: is that by both of these metrics, the pollution was

188
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: the lowest for air frying.

189
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I could have told you the result

190
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: of that purely based on how much oil would have

191
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: splash everywhere for those five methods.

192
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Yes, you don't use oil, Well, I don't use oil

193
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: when I air fry.

194
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: That would be a competitive advantage, Zara, thank you so

195
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: much for that. Yeah, that was a really cool, good

196
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: news episode. We covered something both close to our hearts.

197
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: For me it was a debilitating respiratory condition and for

198
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: you it was a way to cook the single meal

199
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: you cook a month. That's all we got time for
