Filling in for Clayton this week, Cam Want was in conversation with Barbara Dennison in light of Food Allergy Week.

Ms Dennison is a senior paediatric dietitian with almost 30 years’ experience in the field and co-author of the recently released book Yum! It outlines a number of tips for parents in relation to food preparation for their babies and children with allergies, and how they may ensure they are receiving the necessary nutritional benefits from substitute foods in order to remain healthy.

In light of the unfortunate incident earlier this week whereby a schoolboy tossed a sandwich at Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Clayton decided to explore the broader issue of whether politicians deserve our respect.

In September 2011, a holiday trip to India for twin sisters Amy Kuruvilla and Lydia Muirhead in fact became a life changing experience.

During their travels they met two girls who had been trafficked as minors, married off and subsequently sold off to a brothel. One of the girls fell pregnant to one of the clients and was fed rat poison to cause a miscarriage. She has since been rescued by an organisation over in India who have enabled her to overcome depression and completely transform her life.

The ladies were in the studio this morning with Clayton Bjelan, discussing the chilling scale of this issue and what listeners can do to help make a difference.

Cam Want, filling in for Clayton Bjelan, was in conversation this morning with American singer/songwriter Shawn McDonald about his latest project The Analog Sessions released at the end of last month.

The album features a collection of his greatest hits as well as his own personal favourites, and showcases some of his new material including ‘What Are You Waiting For’.
