After five seasons, the quirky and much-loved ABC comedy Rosehaven is coming to an end. Season five premiered on August 4 (you can catch up on iView) and in eight episodes, Emma and Daniel, and the eclectic residents of Rosehaven will be no more.

Surgeons are one of - if not the most - trusted professions. They literally hold our lives in their hands when we're at our most vulnerable.

That's why US series Dr Death makes for terrifying viewing. Based on the popular podcast by Wondery, it tells the true story of former neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017 for gross malpractice that resulted in the deaths of two patients and the severe maiming of others while working in two Texas hospitals.

The White Lotus is a vicious, buzzy satire set on an ornate Hawaiian resort. It follows the vacations of various hotel guests over the span of a week as they relax and rejuvenate in paradise.

It's not every day an interview starts with the offer of a three-way. But it's Wednesday and so hump day takes on a whole new meaning when you're talking to Lucy Tweed.

Food and event stylist, cook, wife, mother, social media genie, Tweed's Instagram account Every Night of the Week has taken the food world by storm.

She shares some of her recipes with Karen Hardy.

As journalists, we're used to dealing with people who may have had some problem with something we've written. For most of us, it's nothing more than a narky comment on a story, or a vindictive tweet.

But Daily Telegraph journalist James Phelps remembers the day the police came to tell him someone had put a bounty on him, and they considered it a serious threat.

And who placed the bounty? It was a prisoner inside of one of Australia's hardest prisons.

Phelps has since written two non-fiction books about the Australian prison system - Australia's Hardest Prison: Inside the walls of Long Bay Jail and Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates.

Now he's turned those shocking stories into his first fiction book. The Inside Man is the story of Riley Jax, former army engineer now convicted murderer.

Phelps talked to Karen Hardy about his latest book.

We're in the midst of a pandemic, and there's never been a better time to have some difficult conversations.

In fact, according to Anna Sale, we could all do with a few more hard conversations in our lives. But when she launched her hit podcast, Death, Sex & Money back in 2014, she had no idea how many people would be willing to share their fears, secrets, anxieties and hang-ups with a stranger.

But one of the biggest surprises for her as the host has been how often she has acted intuitively to having people confide in her, and how many people have asked her how she does it. In reaching for answers, she has also realised she needs to have her own hard conversations - both for her own sake, and for the sake of the people who surround her.

And so, the idea for a book was born.

She spoke with Sally Pryor about her book, Let's Talk About Hard Things.
