A Routine STI Check. A Life-Changing Diagnosis.

At 21, Ellie Harrison was living her London dream; working in fashion, in a long-term relationship, studying and partying with friends. Then a routine STI check changed everything: she was HIV positive. Her diagnosis was a complete mystery, and in that moment it felt like the sky was falling. Sitting alone on a canal-side bench after leaving the clinic, Ellie was convinced she'd just been handed a death sentence.

In this conversation you’ll hear:

• What happened after her diagnosis
• What it really means to live with HIV today
• The key differences between HIV and AIDS
• The stigma and prejudice she’s faced
• Her mission to help end HIV transmission

Ellie tells a powerful story of resilience, enlightenment and breaking down outdated misconceptions.

In 2015, Australian con woman Belle Gibson was living the dream. Her app The Whole Pantry was hugely popular and she was about to launch a book of the same name.

With hundreds of thousands of followers online, Belle had become a celebrated wellness influencer who'd overcome terminal cancer and had cured herself with healthy eating and holistic therapies. But it was all a lie.

The truth came to light when her friend, Chanelle McAuliffe, noticed gaps in Belle's story. The moment she exposed her deception is now the focus of the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar.

Today, Chanelle tells us what the show got right and wrong, the challenges she faced as a whistleblower, and how she feels about Belle and her crimes now, a decade on.
