Tony Tan's roast chicken with black bean sauce — a takeaway classic, reimagined the traditional way
This dish elevates a humble roast chicken with deep, savoury notes from fermented black beans, Shaoxing wine, and fragrant ginger. But the real secret? A homemade chicken broth — crafted from scratch with bones, aromatics, and time — forming the backbone of countless Asian dishes.
This slow, careful process infuses the dish with layers of umami, making it richer and more complex than anything you'd get in a takeaway box. Forget the shortcut — this is how it's really done.
Here's the full list of recipes from Season 2 of A Bite To Eat With Alice.

Are Professor Student Relationships Ever Ok? w/ Madison Griffiths
When it comes to professor student relationships, a lot of people argue 'if everyone's an adult' and 'if everyone's consenting' there's nothing wrong with the dynamic. But Author Madison Griffiths disagrees. In this chat with Dee Salmin, Madison unpacks her new book Sweet Nothing which explores four women's experiences dating and sleeping with their professors - and how gender and power imbalances make the relationships so much more nuanced than consent.

Israel's not-so-secret nuclear weapons
It's widely accepted that Israel has nuclear weapons. How many? Well, it's impossible to know because to this day the Israeli government has never officially confirmed or denied that it possesses a nuclear arsenal at all, instead it maintains a policy of 'strategic ambiguity'. In truly one of the most extraordinary stories we've told on this show - we get to the bottom of how Israel hides its nukes, how we found out about them, and why the global community seems to be fine with it. If you're in Canberra and interested in coming to our live show on the 21st of August at the Canberra Theatre Centre you can buy tickets here: Follow If You're Listening on the ABC Listen app. Check out our series on YouTube:

Nicole Kidman's niece begs for a job after ‘risky' move to London
Nicole Kidman's niece is on the job hunt after making a 'risky' move from Australia to London. Lucia Hawley begged for 'someone to hire [her] please' while describing her relocation via Substack on Monday, per Page Six. 'On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me,' the 26-year-old wrote, explaining that she has a 'risk-averse' personality. 'My body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed,' she continued. However, Lucia admitted that she'd experienced a 'difficult' six months in her career while 'lack[ing] direction and fac[ing] numerous rejections in the pursuit of something better.' She wrote, 'This period was pretty taxing on my confidence, and I eventually began to feel like there was just simply not much left for me in Sydney (at least for now).' The former 7Bravo host, who is one of Kidman's sister Antonia Kidman's four children with late husband Angus Hawley, called the life change a 'traumatic' one. 'Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult,' Lucia wrote of her boyfriend. 'Sometimes I am left baffled by his unwavering support and blind belief in me, championing everything I do,' she gushed of her partner. 'This kind of love — true, safe love — makes you feel like you can do anything. 'Even harder were the goodbyes to my family,' Lucia continued. 'I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears.' Nonetheless, the choice remains 'exciting' and 'freeing' for Nicole's family member. 'I believe home to be a feeling,' she told readers. 'Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance.' With loved ones backing her, 'failing can seem so much less inconsequential,' Lucia explained. She concluded by pointing out that 'if it all fails, [she will] always have home.' Lucia is close with her famous aunt, and they recently enjoyed a family vacation in Croatia.
