Radio show helps Queenslanders live and stay well

Cancer Council is helping Queenslanders live well and stay well, with the 2015 launch of the organisation’s weekly health and wellbeing radio show on Saturday 7 February!

The Live Well, Be Well Radio Show will air on Brisbane’s 96Five every Saturday morning in 2015 from 9am to 10am, with the program also podcastable at the Cancer Council website.

Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift said she was pumped to kick-start another year of bringing Queenslanders the best health and wellbeing tips in town.

“We’ve been helping Queenslanders live their healthiest and happiest lives every week on the airwaves for the last two years,” Ms Clift said.

“Radio is an ever-changing, fresh, up-to-date industry that we’re proud to be involved with – it’s the perfect medium to get our crucial lifestyle messages across to Queenslanders.

“One third of all cancers are preventable through simple lifestyle choices including eating healthy, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, staying SunSmart, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake and participating in recommended cancer screening.

“Live Well, Be Well radio offers nutrition advice, tips to boost your wellbeing, creative ideas when it comes to changing up your everyday routine and the latest health news and initiatives.

“We know Queenslanders will enjoy hearing about improving their health & wellbeing in a fun way that’s non-intrusive, but a fun and engaging experience.

“We hope radios across Brisbane will be tuned in to 96Five every Saturday morning, and that people all across Queensland will hit subscribe on the podcast for fresh content every week.

“This initiative offers people a new way to learn about their health, get the latest from Cancer Council Queensland and stay up to date with new research and findings.”

96five’s Program Director, Liam Renton, said he was excited about partnering with Cancer Council Queensland for another year.

“As a station 96five wants to help Brisbane families stay happy and healthy. I’m looking forward to hearing a few tips myself,” he said.

Queenslanders can listen to the show live every Saturday morning from 7 February, from 9am to 10am at 96five.com.

The podcast will be available for download weekly via our website, Facebook and Twitter.
