1. EXPLORE: ST podcasts
The Straits Times has several podcasts touching on a wide range of topics, such as sports and health.
One podcast (str.sg/JdHL) features Money FM's Rachel Kelly, ST assistant sports editor Jonathan Wong and sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz discussing post-circuit breaker scenarios for the Singapore Grand Prix. At the time of writing, the fate of the Sept 18 to 20 race weekend is still up in the air.
In a Health Check podcast (str.sg/JdtG), ST senior correspondent Joyce Teo speaks to Dr Tan Ken Jin, an orthopaedic surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, to find out more about the recent cases of stress fractures he has seen and how to prevent these.
2. WATCH: Pianist Ronan O'Hora
British pianist Ronan O'Hora has performed throughout the world, playing with orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra and the BBC Symphony.
He performed at Singapore's Victoria Concert Hall on May 31 last year and the programme included works by Brahms, Beethoven and Schumann.
The full show is now available for viewing online as part of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra's SSOPlayOn! series.

3. READ: My Edutainment Book
Targeted at children between eight and 12 years old, this 2017 book (above) was written by Petra Haddeman Bullee, a graphic designer and Singapore-based author. It aims to inspire children to read and be active and inquisitive.
The book ($19, available from www.myedutainmentbook.com), may be a good way to bond with your children and get them to challenge themselves and broaden their general knowledge.
