WEBVTT - The good news for asthmatics

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Today's Good News podcast is brought to you by Upbank.

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Up Bank is the bank with no extra fees, no

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>fossil fuel investments, no bs, just smart banking already.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And this is the Daily This is the Daily OS. Oh,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 2>now it makes sense.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Saturday,

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the thirtieth of November. I'm Zara, I'm Sam Sam. It's

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 3>been a long week, and what better way to end

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 3>the week than to talk about some of the brightness

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>that exists in the world. And I want to start

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 3>somewhere very personal for you.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 2>This is a story I couldn't be more excited by.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I have asthma. I carry my paffa with me everywhere.

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>It has been a weird one because it was really

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>bad when I was a little kid, and then it

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of got better when I was an adolescent, and

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>now it's gotten a bit.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Tricky again, fully grown adult.

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so there's nothing cooler than having a puffer

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in my pocket. But there's big news this week which

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>actually could be one of the biggest developments in asthma

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>medicine in over fifty years, and that is from the

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>results of a trial that was experimenting different ways to

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>give people steroids, so medicine after that experienced a severe

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>asthma attack, and so currently the way that you're given

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>steroids after a severe asthma attack is over a long

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.839
<v Speaker 1>course of tablets and each tablet has a tiny part

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>of the recommended dose of the steroid in it. You

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>take it for a couple of weeks, sometimes a couple

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>of months and recover. What the study was trying to

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>figure out is is there a difference if you give

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the person experiencing the attack all the steroid dosage in

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>one vaccine as they're almost experiencing the attack. And what

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the study found, and the study was published in the

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Lancet Respiratory Medicine Journal, it found that it actually has

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a major difference in the speed of the recovery and

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>how quickly you can bounce back to full fitness after

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>an attack when you get that vaccine.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>So scientific discovery could make it a lot quicker and

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 3>faster for people who are experiencing asthma attacks to come

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>out the other side of it exactly.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And it can also be administered from home potentially, So

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>it really could change the way that we think about

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>asthma treatment. Asthma is a condition that affects about three

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty million people all around the world, and this,

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>as I said, is the first major development in the

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>treatment of asthma in over fifty years.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's pretty incredible and also kind of shocking

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>that there hasn't been a major development in fifty years,

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 3>given how widespread and how common it is. But you know,

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 3>that's I guess what happened.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Doctors always say it's a really easy one to try

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and manage. It's a hard one to try and get

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>on top of, and so maybe this could make a difference.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Love it.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, we're going to stick on the theme of medicine,

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's because this week Lifeblood confirmed that almost five

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 3>eighteen year olds have become blood donors in Australia over

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the past year. See the youth are okay, I know

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 3>they are more than okay. It actually means that this

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>group's so this group of eighteen year olds are the

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 3>largest new donor group by age in the country, which

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I just think is so wonderful.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>It's an incredible achievement from a group that would have

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:10.839
<v Speaker 1>just finished their HSC or VC.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, that a school is they're rolling up

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 3>their sleeves and Lifeblood said that together the eighteen year

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 3>olds have made more than ten six hundred donations, which

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 3>we know would go so far in helping the lives

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 3>of other Australians and they said in a media release

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 3>young adults are essential to Lifeblood's mission to gain an

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.399
<v Speaker 3>additional one hundred thousand new donors in the next year

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 3>to meet increased patient demand.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's not much of the population that actually donates

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>blood right.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>No, it's around three percent of the eligible population who

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 3>currently donates. So Lifeblood are really pushing for more donors,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>and especially more donors from the next generation so that

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 3>they can roll up their sleeves and they can get involved.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember a bit of work we did with Lifeblood

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to help educate people on why it's so important

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to donate blood, and they said one of the key

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>reasons people don't is for the snacks and that people

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>love the chalky milk.

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 3>And was thinking it was just altruism, but actually it

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>was about the snacks.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes a muslibar can fix everything. Nazara, I want to

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>bring you a story from the cinema, and the movie

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is changing pace a bit.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Here yeah, it is. It is slightly different.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>The movie in cinema business hasn't really had much good

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>news over the past couple of years.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Called Barbie good news.

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>That was good news, but you know, the rise of

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>streaming services a pandemic. The movie landscape has changed, and

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure a lot of people listening could probably think

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of a local or independent cinema at least that might

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>have show up shop in the last five years. But

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in good news for cinemas, the release of Moana TiO

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is bucking the trend and it's predicted to bring in

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy five million US dollars, So that's

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>about two hundred and sixty nine million Aussie dollars in

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>ticket sales in the US alone over this weekend. And

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it's the Thanksgiving weekend, which is a big weekend for

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the release of movies. But this could be the most

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>successful one ever. It's going to overtake Frozen two, which

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Charlie holds the record. One other bit of good news

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to highlight when I was reading about Moana

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Io is it's one of the first films to feature

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>film composers that rose to fame via TikTok fascinating. The

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>composers are Abigail Barlow twenty three and Emily Bear twenty six.

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Their kind of duo name is Barlow and Bear and

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>oh I've seen that.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>They rose to fame on TikTok because they made an unofficial.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Musical for Bridgeton.

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>They won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album for

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the release of this unofficial musical. They had a little

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>issue where they kind of got sued by Netflix and

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>then they sorted it out. Now they're composing for Disney.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>They're also working on a musical for Broadway, and I

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>guess there's no saying how far they'll go.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 3>I see what you did there, though I have not

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 3>seen Moana too. But two people where we went around

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>the office and said our highs and loads of the week,

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 3>said that seeing it was their high. So I don't

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 3>know if you need much more of an endorsement than that.

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.919
<v Speaker 3>But moving on, what is the news from sea life?

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>This is a nice one to talk about from the

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>conservation world. So you know, a macaroni penguin, so think

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>about happy feet, a macaroni in happy Feet, the penguins

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 1>with the bitty yellow. So the average lifespan of a

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Macaroni penguin in the wild is eight to fifteen years.

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>If they're in zoo or a conservation environment, it's about

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty years. And that's why the fortieth birthday celebration this

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>week of the celebrity of SeaWorld San Diego, a Macaroni

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>penguin called best Friend.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Is such a remarkable, bizarre name for anything. I don't

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 2>mind it. I think it's a cool name. Best Friend

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the Macaroni penguin exactly. So.

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Best Friend was born in nineteen eighty four.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure.

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>He's currently SeaWorld's oldest penguin, and he's thought to be

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>one of the oldest penguins in the entire continent of

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>North America. Macaroni penguin populations in the wild have stagnated

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years, namely because of climate

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>change and human activity, and they are the most abundant

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>penguin species. So the ability to study best Friend as

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>he gets older is really really special for the staff

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at San Diego Zoo. Have a listened to how they

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>reacted on his birthday. I think you'll sense the excitement.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 4>He is the.

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Sweetest sort man in the floor world you can't see

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>very well, but of.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Course due to that ball.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.119
<v Speaker 4>Friend, we love you so much.

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Every single we have used it.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>And now is there a one more story? And it's

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>something that's close to your heart. Not quite the same

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>as asthma, but tell us something about something you.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Love a lot.

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I love air friers. It's look, I'm not a chef

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 3>by any stretch of the imagination. I actually very rarely cook,

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 3>but when I do cook, it's always with an air fryer.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 3>And that's why I was so pleased to read. I

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 3>don't know if this is like a backhanded good news,

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 3>but that's okay, I'll go with it. I was really

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>excited to read that air friers have been confirmed as

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 3>the least polluting cooking method.

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>You've always been one for the planet.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Just doing it for the people. So according to new

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 3>research that was published by the University of Birmingham, air

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 3>fryers produce a tiny fraction of the indoor air pollution

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 3>emitted by other cooking methods, so things like pan and

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>deep frying, and I'd argue get a better outcome because

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 3>your meal is just slightly charred and excellently crunchy.

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Is this a direct call out to Brevel or.

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Whoever you make Hello, please send me one and I'll

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 3>just keep talking about how great they are. So the researchers,

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>in doing this experiment, cooked chicken breast using five different

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 3>methods pan frying, sturf frying, deep fat frying, boiling, and

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>air frying. And they did it in this controlled kitchen setting.

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 3>And then they measured the level of two different things,

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 3>something called particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Don't know

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 3>what either of those two things are. What I do know, though,

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 3>is that by both of these metrics, the pollution was

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the lowest for air frying.

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I could have told you the result

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of that purely based on how much oil would have

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>splash everywhere for those five methods.

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you don't use oil, Well, I don't use oil

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 3>when I air fry.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>That would be a competitive advantage, Zara, thank you so

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>much for that. Yeah, that was a really cool, good

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>news episode. We covered something both close to our hearts.

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>For me it was a debilitating respiratory condition and for

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you it was a way to cook the single meal

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.960
