Editorial policy

How we prepare the content

The recordings are conversations. They contain personal experiences, opinions and jokes. Dick speaks from his experience of prostate cancer. Steve is a veterinary surgeon. Their work on the show does not make either of them your treating doctor.

The website and written guides are prepared with editorial support from The SEO Agent. A guide should tell you who prepared it, when it was updated and where its health information came from. We use identifiable Australian sources, including Cancer Council, PCFA and eviQ, and place links near the claims they support.

A personal story can help explain what an experience felt like. It cannot tell you what will happen to you. We do not use a guest's appearance, a professional title or an automated check as proof that a guide has received medical review. If a suitably qualified person reviews a guide, we name that person and the scope and date of the actual review.

Transcripts preserve the conversation, with clearly labelled editorial notes where context is needed. Any omissions or significant corrections are explained. We do not quietly change a speaker's words to make an old statement sound current.

If you spot an error, please contact us and tell us which page and passage you mean. We record material corrections on the affected page and link them from Notes and corrections. Updating a page's layout does not make its health information newly reviewed.

This is general information to help you ask questions. Talk to your doctor about what fits your situation.
