Is it a sporty-fitness thing or a recovery-after-an-injury thing?
In this episode of the How To Die Happy podcast, Martin and Jules talk to Alister Cran, a surf-loving preventative physiotherapist who specialises in what Martin likes to call "Earth Rover maintenance".
Al's take on physiotherapy is that, while it certainly plays a vital role in injury treatment, it's often overlooked as a modality to prevent injuries in the first place by using a combination of exercise and strength training.

The last time Martin and Terae got together (Chinwag 10), they discussed whether aliens exist. This week's episode, however, tackles an altogether more human question: why do we lie?
