Do diet pills really work?

Happy Friday! 😃
Sometimes all we want to do is sit back and just be enthralled by an engaging or thought-provoking story. Whether it's a true story such as the life of Edith Cowan whose father was sentenced to death for the murder of her mother, (today you'll see Edith's face on our 50 dollar note!). Or, a creative audio fiction with compelling writing and sumptuous sound design like Radio National Fictions. You'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for on the ABC listen app.
Do you know what a stitch really is? Or, why we get them? Have you ever wondered if we can eat boogers? And, why do we grow random hairs? Dr. Karl answers these questions and more here on Science with Dr. Karl.
Plus, find out exactly why diet pills are a big, fat myth and listen to Triple One's amazing cover of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper below.
On the hunt for something different? We'll connect you with podcast recommendations and updates from around the ABC — all available on the ABC listen app.
