If you’re already at saturation with how tumultuous it’s been since the assasination attempt on Donald Trump, and you’re already overwhelmed even though we’re still 4 months away from a US election, and then there’s our own election right around the corner - you’re not alone. In the interests of being able to cope for the next while, on this episode Osher has a bit of a mental health plan for keeping our heads level. And it’s got to do with control. During this conversation Osher mentions Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. ‌ To get on the newsletter, find the link at oshergunsberg.com Hosted on Acast.

Abby is the Abby in Stav, Matt and Abby on B105 in Brisbane. She’s a brilliant radio announcer, mum of three boys and the woman who married Osher and Audrey. This conversation is one Osher has been wanting to have for a long time, mostly because it debriefs a few things about that radio job in a way that hasn't been spoken about before. Osher and Abby also cover the importance of sleep and mindset about sleep, the impact of framing situations and how eliminating one word from your vocabulary can change everything, and then we get really deep. Abby talks very openly about her experiences with eating disorders, how she navigates gender dynamics in the radio workplace, and her work with Small Steps for Hannah, which is a foundation set up to prevent domestic violence. ‌ Eating Disorder Support: Butterfly Foundation: 1800 33 4673 Sexual assault support services: 1800 Respect national helpline: 1800 737 732 Sexual Assault Counselling Australia: 1800 385 578 Bravehearts (support for child sexual abuse survivors): 1800 272 831 Lifeline (24-hour Crisis Line): 131 114 Victims of Crime Helpline: 1800 819 817 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode Osher explores rules 14-19 of his 101 RULES OF SHOW BUSINESS, including this cracker he learned from Dan Machpherson: Rule Number 16: If you arrive at your call time, you’re 20min late. The time on your call sheet isn’t the time you’re pulling into the carpark. It’s not the time you’re making a cuppa in the kitchen. It’s the time you’re ready to go. Get there 20 mins early to do all that other stuff, because working in entertainment is a dance between hundreds of people trying to coordinate perfectly - and you need to be where you’re told to be exactly when you’re told to be there so that everyone else can do their job too.

When it comes to foreign policy, sometimes a credible military consequence is required to ensure that diplomacy can work. Keeping peace between nations is vital, however sometimes the decision to move to violence is made by someone else - and then a government has few options on the table. But what happens when our government’s decision to send our military into a war zone under the auspices of protecting our country no longer serves us? Today Osher speaks with Mark Wales, a former SAS commander who’s probably going to surprise you with his views on national security. Mark joined the army at 17 and eventually made ten deployments, including Timor-Leste, Solomon Islands, Iraq, Afghanistan, Fiji and Lebanon. This conversation dives deep on sleep, mental health, gun violence, trauma, parenting, and life in the military. And don’t worry. Osher absolutely asked him about winning Survivor. Mark is not only a fascinating man whose geopolitical knowledge is super-sharp, he’s a fabulous author. He’s penned a best-selling autobiography “Survivor”, and his latest book “Outrider” is a dystopian sci-fi novel set in the woody forests of Victoria. ‌ If you like this episode be sure to check out Osher’s chat with former SEAL team sniper Brandon Tyler Webb, a cracking conversation with fellow Brisbanian Paul De Gelder and for the other side of things, legendary war correspondent Michael Ware. ‌ Every episode ever is available at oshergunsberg.com, where you can also leave Osher a message (even a voice mail) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode Osher explores rules 10-13 of his 101 RULES OF SHOWBUSINESS, including this beaut: Rule Number 13: Nothing works unless everything works.

Following Snezana Wood’s (link her episode here) episode this week, Osher explores what it means to challenge yourself with something you don’t think you can do, and opens up about one of his long-term goals.

Snezana Wood’s story might be one that you think you know - however there’s a lot more to her than you could possibly imagine. Today Osher speaks to this powerful mother of four who has a heck of a story to tell - it’s so good that there’s a whole book about it, which is incredible considering how busy a busy mum of four kids with a a degree in Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology must be. ‌ Her new book Untold: A story of love, motherhood, heartbreak and change is out now. ‌ For every episode ever and to get in touch head to oshergunsberg.com Hosted on Acast.

Anyone who’s said “I’ll race you” to get their kid to the bathroom/dinner table/daycare/doctor - knows that working play into things is a very effective motivator.In recent times it’s been called “Gamification”.But how much play is in your life?And besides getting things done - what other value can play bring to you as an adult?Following on from his chat with Dr Ali Abdaal (https://www.oshergunsberg.com/the-secret-to-maximising-productivity-is-play-and-other-insights-from-dr-ali-abdaal/), Osher explores the surprising benefits of using play as an adult - as well as some mind-blowing examples of how some of the biggest brains every to walk the earth deliberately used play to in their work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr Ali Abdaal is a world-renowned expert in Productivity. He spent a few years working with the NHS in the UK before leaning full time into the videos he was making, initially to help other med students pass their exams. This grew into a larger offering around making sure your work ethic and your values are aligned in the best way possible… Today Osher and Ali speak about scientific ways of approaching productivity, methods to make sure that we’re doing more good work in less time, and therefore giving us the free time to recharge, recoup, reflect, and perhaps just think - so that when we’re back on the tools we come with a fresh perspective, fresh ideas, and the ability to produce higher quality work than if we’re up at 3am trying to finish something.

After an argument with your partner have you ever caught yourself thinking “if only things were like they used to be” ? News flash - that wont make it better. Osher and Audrey celebrated ten years together over the weekend, and over that time how many different relationships do you think they had? (With each other that is) Here’s a clue - it’s more than how many years they’ve been together. In this episode, Osher reflects on the many different ways “things used to be”, and highlights how reinventing your relationship is probably the only way to get through the challenges life throws at two people trying to grow together.

Addiction is a bastard of a disease. If you have it, you don’t know it. In fact, the number one symptom of addiction is that it convinces you that you aren’t an addict. That’s a terrible thing to get trapped in. And it’s a terrible thing for the people who care about you, because you may not realise it - but your addiction affects them as well as you, and not just because they have to deal with your bullshit. It changes the way they are around others. However, every now and then - addicts have what’s called a ‘moment of clarity’. A moment where they can see what they’re doing, what is happening to them and those around them, and where they’re headed. If you’re lucky - that moment is accompanied by a willingness to do something about it, something to interrupt a cycle of damage and destruction that they otherwise are powerful to interrupt. Those moments don’t last very long, so when they do - what can we do to help the addict in our lives? And what do we need to do to help ourselves? Today Osher welcomes back to the show one of the most important voices in Australia when it comes to the treatment of addiction. Diane Young, a Psychotherapist and Holistic Counsellor who is the Director of Clinical Supervision at South Pacific Private, Australia’s leading treatment centre of addiction, anxiety and depression.

Laughing with people feels so good. In recent times, there has been a lot of talk about using comedy to change people’s minds. It is easy to forget how cathartic comedy can be.

We take our daily showers for granted. Orange Sky co-founder Nic Marchesi created a mobile laundry and shower for homeless people.

Reflecting on Jelena Dokic’s episode, in this episode Osher explores the relationship between resilience and vulnerability. Vulnerability without resilience is dangerous. If you’re vulnerable without the strength to cope, you’re wide open to calamity. Like being immunocompromised next to someone coughing—you’re incredibly susceptible to harm. On the flip side, if you’re resilient without being vulnerable, your relationships, creativity, and ability to connect with others suffer. Vulnerability shows how susceptible you are to danger or stress, while resilience is your ability to recover from it. The good news is, resilience is something we can build and develop, and in this episode, Osher offer up a few key ways to develop that skill.

We generally avoid thinking about losing the things we love, but what if deliberately doing so made us love and appreciate those things even more? In this episode, Osher explores the idea of “The Last Time” (*not the Farnham farewell tour). With its roots in ancient Stoic practice, “The Last Time” only takes a few breaths to do yet can have a profound effect on the presence and meaning we feel in our day.

How many people are in your village?It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things.Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance.Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland.

Do you talk to yourself harshly? Did you know it’s as threatening as if someone else talked to you that way? Parenting expert Gen Muir is my guest today, in an episode packed with tools and techniques to help you (and me) not be so hard about potentially ruining the life of these kids we love so much. Her new book Little People, Big Feelings is an insight into not just powerful, research based tools and techniques - but a real-life reflection that this powerhouse Mum of four boys uses every day with her own family. The great news - apparently we only need to get it right 30% of the time to get an A in parenting. I wish highschool had those pass marks! We cover a lot - the role of self-compassion in parenting and the challenges of step-parenting, the importance of building strong relationships with children and creating a nurturing and supportive environment, self compassion around your own journey as a parent and - a vital discussion about choosing the right vehicle for your family.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE is my guest this week. Yes, THE Melissa Etheridge. She’s touring once again, kicking off in Perth in May, then heading east stopping all stations, Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sydney (which is already sold out). She’s bringing some family with her as you’re about to hear she is very very excited about it. If this is your first time hearing about this remarkable woman, let me bring you up to speed. Melissa Etheridge is a Grammy winning, Oscar winning singer/songwriter superstar. For over 30 years her distinctive voice has told stories of love, passion and heartache. She’s publicly lived through challenges that most people experience in private - her journey of coming out, a cancer diagnosis, hair loss from the chemo, and recently the absolutely tragic loss of her son Beckett who passed away from an opioid overdose at just 21. Yeah, heads up - we talk about that, and I end up crying in this chat. Melissa, however, has used her grief to explore ways of treating addiction by supporting world-first research into the use of plant medicines previously associated with sacred ceremony and how they might be able to save lives so affected by addiction.MICF shows on sale now Tickets at oshergunsberg.comhttps://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/osher-guensberg-ntnnnnGot suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Today we’re talking to SHARON CALLISTER - she’s the CEO of Mission Australia. Sharon is one of these rare humans that’s just born to help. Can’t stop her, won’t stop her. Among the things she’s focusing on - is addressing the grim challenge of rising homelessness among women in Australia. You might be confronted by some of the misconceptions about homelessness in Australia. Sharon shares some pretty intense stories of people she’s worked with who have experienced homelessness and the challenges they face. Helping an individual is important, however it’s treating a symptom not a cause, so Sharon has a lot to say about the need for investment in social and affordable housing and the power of early intervention. We do talk about domestic and family violence and the role of education in changing attitudes and behaviours. I know it sounds grim - but I promise you this is a conversation full of hope.

Abbie Chatfield is the most exciting figure in Australian media today, and she’s only just getting started. A finance degree graduate who arrived on reality TV fresh from a career in corporate real estate, Abbie absolutely exploded on to our screens in Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor Australia. ‌ However it was what she did next that changed everything. Earnestly, honestly, and openly - she began to navigate public life with a power and cadence which took many by surprise. ‌ Creating her podcast “it’s a lot” pulled back the catapult that has set Abbie on a course for stratospheric heights. I’ve never in my entire career met someone like her. She treats every gig as a learning opportunity, sees self improvement and mastery as a daily goal, knows when she’s right and knows to ask for help when she needs it, knows her worth, knows her value and is not afraid to take the lead on monetising that value either through her podcast, her national tours, or the creation of a line of sex toys which have seen phenomenal success. ‌ Abbie is an open book - and this conversation covers trolling, self-harm, destructive patterns in relationships, an enormous deep-dive into the nuts and bolts of making reality TV (which I rarely do) and yes, butt stuff.

For me, @survivorAU is For me is simply the greatest game ever invented by humans.It combines all the strategy and game-theory of a chess match with the hardest CrossFit class you’ve ever done, with all the delicate diplomacy of an intergovernmental climate conference, all while camping for 55 days in the wild in conditions that would make Bear Grylls flinch.‌And it’s widely accepted that the greatest player to have ever played the game is an Australian man, whom you may know as @kinggeorgeofbankstown.To describe him, I would need to tell you about how there were a few times that I played scrabble with the heavy hitters there in Washington square park in NYC, and next to us there were some chess tables.The players there were absolute weapons. The kind of chess players who could walk past another game, and without breaking step, glance down at the board and say “Black wins in six” before carrying on with their day.That is what George is like with people.A former political operative for the State Government, George Mladenov astounded viewers with his incredible game theory and devastating manipulation skills.When you check out the episode, you’re going to learn some fascinating things about not only survivor, but also politics, visualisation, negotiation, timing your moves for maximum impact, and surprisingly - poker.I was over the moon to have George come to my house.Enjoy an audience with the King.Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

What would you have liked to accomplish by 25? Was being the co-founder and CEO of an independent Australian news commentary platform providing informed, progressive opinions on subjects that sit at the intersection of feminist, social and political issues on your list? What about having completed a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Master of Publishing, Editing and Writing?Today I am joined by Hannah Ferguson who is the co-founder and CEO of Cheek Media Co. Hannah has written and released her first novel; Bite Back. A ground-breaking debut that launches in and tackles many of the thorniest social and political issues facing young women in Australia today.With her book Bite Back, Hannah leads the charge on the discourse we’ve been missing, from how to have hard conversations with loved ones, to the realities of reforming a criminal justice system that isn’t fit for purpose and the future of the #MeToo movement.Hannah and I have an in depth discussion where we talk about the importance of media and legal literacy, the value of critical thinking, and the use of fear as a commodity.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Grace Tame is an Australian of the Year, author, and a voice that's shaking the foundations of our society.She gained prominence for her advocacy and determination to overturn Tasmanian laws that prevented survivors from speaking out about their experiences through the Let Her Speak campaign.Until April 6 2020 it was illegal for victims to identify themselves as the victim of such a crime. If they did speak about what happened two them, they could face six months in prison.The law was probably brought in to protect people from being identified - however if those survivors chose to share their stories, it would be illegal to do so.In a world where conversations about consent and survivor support are more crucial than ever, Grace has been a driving force in raising awareness and demanding change.Her courage and determination have paved the way for important discussions that challenge the status quo.A status quo that does not like to be challenged.The rancid stacks-on that she’s had to deal with as an adult is utterly shameful. The things she has had to endure for speaking out about her abuse is just too awful to behold.And the things that happen to her have all been perpetrated by men. Entitled adult men.‌Grace Tame is a powerful, brilliant person and I’m so glad you’re going to get a chance to engage with her today.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Have you ever thought about the story behind your favourite band? How did they create their sound, how did they become a world-wide sensation, how did it all start?In 1994, three young teenage boys from Newcastle, Dan, Ben and Chris aged 14, entered a competition to record a song at the studios of the station Triple J. Little did they know, when Dan’s Mum filled out the entry form and sent it in, along with a cassette tape and a photo of them on a stoop of a house, that they would become world-wide sensations.Earlier this year I was joined by Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou. This year they wrote and released their book, Love & Pain, which takes you on the journey of silverchair. Silverchair were more than just a band, they were a brotherhood. As they join me for a conversation, I learn about what really made them something special.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Brad Guy literally fell out of a plane and miraculously survived a skydiving accident. The physical injuries that he suffered from are one thing, but it's Brad's extraordinary story of how devastating a problem that PTSD became in his life, and how he tried to self medicate his way out of it, it's that which is truly compelling. Brad's extraordinary description not only of his accident, but also the hypervigilance which started to control his life, is something that is unfortunately all too common for people who have experienced trauma in their lives. If you've been delaying getting help, or there's someone you love who needs help for whatever reasons, but won't seek that help - this episode is full of brilliant truly relatable moments that could just be the thing to change the status quo. Once you hear the kind of horror that Brad was living with day in and day out, and what is life is like now, it's a strong case for the idea that there is actually a way to live your life that's not a constant spiral of pain. And that with help and a commitment to treatment, things can and will get a whole lot better.

The Honourable Leeanne Enoch is the Minister for Treaty, Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Minister for Communities and Minister for the Arts in the seat of Algester in Queensland. Considering the work that she does and the story that she has to tell as the first Aboriginal Australian woman to be elected to the Queensland Parliament, I absolutely jumped at the chance to interview her. In this episode we discuss growing up in her teenage years, how her and her family experienced racism, what her grandmother taught her about shame and how her career in politics began.  Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/ Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Men, do you ever ask yourself what happens to my wife’s career when the baby comes along? How long will she take off work? Will that time off be beneficial to our family but detrimental to her career? When will she go back to work? Can she go back to work and have the same job requirements as when she left to become a mother?These are common questions mothers asks themselves over and over, before becoming a mother and once they become a mother.Today I am joined by Ash London, in 2021 she became a mother to her son Buddy Ray. Before Ash was a mother she was radio talk host shows of a popular night time music show called “Ash London Live”, she travelled the world and interviewed huge stars such Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Ed Sheeran to name a few. She was known for her close relationships with these artists because she was so invested in their music and shared the same passion.Right now Ash is very much wrestling with the idea of having another child and is not afraid to say that she misses work or that a lot of her identity was wrapped up in her work. So why are women afraid to admit that? And why is that a hesitance for mother’s when it comes to trying again for baby number two and growing the family.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

When I moved to America, and over the following ten years of living there - to be without our public health system really opened my eyes to how much of an incredible asset that is to our country. That the standard of care that is available to those of us with the fewest resources was equivalent to the kind of care only the most wealthy people in the US could afford absolutely blew my mind. ‌ But a part of protecting our public health system is to make it as efficient as possible. To watch for wasteful spending, and to be sure that the best outcomes can happen for the most amount of people with the lowest cost. It’s not perfect by any stretch. Yet it’s still a superpower that we in Australia can be proud of. ‌ So how do you make things more efficient? How do we get better outcomes for people particularly when it comes to mental health? ‌ Thankfully my guest today is an expert in these matters. ‌ Professor Judith Gullifer is the Deputy Head of School and Senior Director of Education in the School of Psychological Science at Monash University, who are the sponsors of this episode. ‌ Drawing on her time spent as a psychologist in rural Australia, Judith now works to make sure that health care professionals entering the workforce are equipped with everything they need to help people in the best way possible.

There’s a new film called ‘Uproar’ that comes out in Australia this week, it stars Julian Dennison, Minnie Driver and the exquisite Rhys Darby. Set around the 1981 springbok tour of NZ, it’s as hilarious as it is staggering in how powerfully it tells the story of a kid trying to figure out who they are, at the same time as a community trying to figure out who they are - and indeed the start of a whole country trying to figure out who they are. What is wonderful about this film is that it is based on a true story. The life story of the brilliant director Paul Middleditch. Paul has been on the show before - he’s the absolute genius behind the kind of commercials that you never ever forget, the brilliant series of ads for Australian Lamb the unforgettable commercials for Carlton Draught (including one which involved hundreds of extras charging across a field towards each other) and the hands-down classic Yellow Pages campaign with the immortal line “Not Happy Jan”. What makes this film even more unique is that while Paul is directing a film that he literally lived, the screenplay was written by his extraordinarily talented wife, the acclaimed writer and director Sonia Whiteman. Now as I mention in this episode - it’s rare that my wife and I can build something from Ikea without getting shitty with each other. And here is a couple who’ve been together for 23 years, with a beautiful family, managing to take an idea from inception to pitch to production - and they’re still together. The film is magnificent. I cried twice, Audrey cried about five times. But how these two work together and the way they speak about each other - that’s proper couple goals. I adore these two humans. I can’t wait for you to get to know them.

Let’s go to 2014 to revisit my conversation with my first ever internet friend Camilla Wright. Camilla is the founder an editor of the internet’s longest-running, deepest-digging gossipmongers, Popbitch which has been in action since late 1999. Popbitch is easily, if not the very first internet pop culture gossip sites or gossip newsletters which set the standard of internet reporting from celebrity culture to pop culture in the new millennium.  Camilla is a remarkable woman who left a career in serious political journalism covering Eastern Europe as it emerged from communism in the late 90s to start a weekly email about pop stars behaving badly.SPONSORS:  Canstar - download the App here https://onelink.to/canstar-bty, then use the code BTY10, get a $10 gift card on registration.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

My guest today was the catalyst for fundamentally changing how consent education works in Australia.In 2021 Chanel posted on Instagram:“Have you or a close friend been sexually assaulted by someone who went to an all-boys school in Sydney?”Within 24 hours, 204 People had responded “yes” to the question, and then she had her first ever live TV interview 72 hours later.Over that weekend her friend started a website for Chanel, where she collected 6000 testimonies during the first three weeks.She started a petition demanding consent classes and 45,000 signatures later and exactly a year from the date she first posted on Instagram – after a lot of meetings and phone calls – the nine education ministers in Australia unanimously agreed and then publicly announced that they would mandate consent education.Chanel Contos is a force of nature.A fierce advocate for consent education and the brilliant brain behind the Teach Us Consent campaign.She's been instrumental in raising awareness about sexual assault and consent in Australia.Today we discuss the challenges of navigating relationships in the dating app era and explore the disturbing influence of pornography on our understanding of consent.Chanel highlights the need to extend empathy beyond our immediate circles, teaching both young men and women how they can prioritize their own desires – but most importantly, saying no when it matters most.Chanel has some valuable lessons to impart – not just about preventing sexual violence but also around creating a culture of respect and understanding.She strongly believes that showing young men that healthy, consensual relationships are something they should aspire to can ultimately help change the world.Her book, “Consent Laid Bare” is absolutely stunning.It’s out right now.SPONSORS:  Canstar - download the App here https://onelink.to/canstar-bty, then use the code BTY10, get a $10 gift card on registration.Tickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

When you think of an someone who’s addicted to methamphetamines, where their life is, where they live, what their job is, what their relationship with their family is like, what it the image that comes to your mind? I’ll bet that picture isn’t a successful middle-aged man, with a beautiful home near the beach, a man who is a father of three daughters. I’ll also bet that you didn’t picture Australian surfing legend Tom Carroll. But at one point, that’s exactly what Tom’s life had become. In the world of professional surfing, Tom Carroll is a legend. Through the 80s and 90s, he dominated the professional surfing tour, becoming the first surfer to sign a multi-million dollar contract. In 1983 and 1984 he twice achieved the pinnacle of his sport when he became back to back world champion. But it’s what Tom has achieved out of the water which is possibly even more incredible. In today’s episode he talks about how he found him self sliding down the slippery slope of addiction, how that addiction began to take everything that he loved away from him, had him trapped in a cycle of drug abuse that was heading towards a very grim end. But Tom knew he needed help, and thankfully he was able to get that help. And it was at South Pacific Private that Tom first got help. I’m no stranger to talking about recovery from drugs and alcohol - it’s a part of my story and a huge reason why I started this show. Because I didn’t know that not drinking and using was an option. I wanted to have conversations out there which could demonstrate that there was an alternative and that help was available if you needed it. And because of that, I’m grateful to partner with South Pacific Private to bring you this episode. South Pacific Private is Australia's leading treatment centre, and has been treating the underlying causes of addiction, anxiety, and depression in Australia for 30 years. If that sounds like something you’re interested in you can take a free self-assessment for a variety of conditions on their website at southpacificprivate.com.au . And if you need them - Their team is available to chat 7 days a week on 1800 063 332 Tom Carroll is a recovering addict, and his journey of redemption is nothing short of inspiring. It's a story of resilience, strength, and finding hope even in the darkest of times. He’s an incredible wise man, and even if you don’t have a problem with any substance, gambling, or any other kind of addiction - the wisdom Tom has to share about untreated trauma, and taking responsibility for your choices and your situation is absolutely transformative.Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Belinda Chapple.She was a member of the massive Australian girl group Bardot.‌Bardot formed in 1999 on the reality TV series Popstars on Channel 7.‌Popstars filmed the whole process, from auditioning thousands of ladies, down to the top 25 and then eventually the top five that formed Bardot.‌From there they moved into a house together and we watched their every moment for the first three months of Bardot.‌Bardot released two albums, were nominated for three ARIA awards and had two national tours, before their abrupt end in 2002.‌The band then consisted of Belinda Chapple, Sophie Monk, Sally Polihronas and Tiffany Wood and an official statement was released to say “Bardot confirm their mutual decision to end the group's career.”‌Wildly I was there for the band’s final ever performance on the Channel V stage - the 2nd of May in 2002. Which I didn’t actually recall until getting ready for this interview, I was still drinking at the time and dealing with a lot of PTSD shit. It makes sense I don’t remember it. But when I watched it, you see all four women in tears, marking the end of a once close band.‌Belinda has released a book to tell us what really happened.‌The end of the band was not mutual and despite the band reportedly earning up to 26 million in its first 12 months what the ladies actually got paid was a long way from that.‌But it’s not all about money.It’s about friendship, trust, and in some ways - betrayal.‌Belinda Chapple is a brilliant human, and her story is one I know you’ll get a lot out of.Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

Have you ever thought about the story behind your favourite band? How did they create their sound, how did they become a world-wide sensation, how did it all start? In 1994, three young teenage boys from Newcastle, Dan, Ben and Chris aged 14, entered a competition to record a song at the studios of the station Triple J.

If you hurt yourself, doing something you loved, would you do it again? ‌ What if it was something that because you were so passionate about it that had you ended up becoming one of the best in the world at it - which then became a gig that paid really, really well - if you hurt yourself doing that thing do you think you would do it again? ‌ What if the injury was so severe that it nearly killed you, and it took you almost a year to be able to walk or talk again? Would you go back to it? Would you face the fear of getting hurt again? And even if you did go back, could you handle being nowhere near as capable as you once were? ‌ That is exactly what Australian Surfer Owen Wright did. ‌ In 2015 while surfing at pipeline, Owen sustained a traumatic brain injury that very nearly killed him. Unable to walk or talk properly, not only his life, but his surfing career hanging in the balance. ‌ The story of how Owen managed to regain mobility, and not only get back into the water, but to go on to win Australia’s first Olympic surfing medal in 2021, is easily one of the most inspirational comeback stories ever told. ‌ We are only beginning to speak with appropriate gravity about brain inquiries in sport. There’s a renewed emphasis on safeguarding athlete well-being and minimising brain injuries in Australian athletes. The Australian Government has even increased funding to enhance research and prevention of brain injuries and concussions in sports. As far as what you and I can do? We can have conversations around these injuries and start showing our children that safety matters, because a brain injury is life long and potentially life ending. ‌ Even if you’ve never surfed, or never had to rehab after a significant injury - this chat with Owen Wright is easily one of the most incredible conversations about what recovery from a traumatic injury actually looks like. Owen even generously shares about a near-death experience which left me utterly transfixed. Not everyone is going to learn how to walk again and then win an Olympic medal - but it’s important to know that it can be done. ‌ It’s a brilliant listen, and I hope you enjoy it.

How would you feel if your identity, who you felt as a person - was denied time and again. What if it was at a national level? That’s what my guest today goes through on a daily basis - because there’s a narrative about her that isn’t really about her. Luckily she’s a fierce person who will fight to be seen and heard for who she is. However the way this happens to her tells us a lot about how we as a community in Australia see women, see survivors of child sexual abuse, and how little we hold our media to account.Grace Tame is an Australian of the Year, author, and a voice that's shaking the foundations of our society. She gained prominence for her advocacy and determination to overturn Tasmanian laws that prevented survivors from speaking out about their experiences through the Let Her Speak campaign. Until April 6 2020 it was illegal for victims to identify themselves as the victim of such a crime. If they did speak about what happened two them, they could face six months in prison. The law was probably brought in to protect people from being identified - however if those survivors chose to share their stories, it would be illegal to do so. The forced anonymity that brings only reinforces the stigma and shame in our community around victims of such crimes. ‌ Meanwhile these laws protected the people who committed these crimes. The same laws that used the word “relationship” in relation to these crimes - the crime was to “Maintain a sexual relationship with a person under 17.” You can clearly hear how that particular word changes how you think about what happened between the victim and the perpetrator. ‌ In a world where conversations about consent and survivor support are more crucial than ever, Grace has been a driving force in raising awareness and demanding change. Her courage and determination have paved the way for important discussions that challenge the status quo. A status quo that does not like to be challenged. The rancid stacks-on that she’s had to deal with as an adult is utterly shameful. The things she has had to endure for speaking out about her abuse is just too awful to behold. And the things that happen to her have all been perpetrated by men. Entitled adult men. ‌ Grace Tame is a powerful, brilliant person and I’m so glad you’re going to get a chance to engage with her today.

How long do you think it would take you heal from an illness that changed your life? Picture this - you’re 19 have just lost both yours arms and legs after contracting meningococcal disease. How long do you think it would take you to heal? Well for Tom Nash, who survived the life-threatening illness to becoming a quadruple amputee at the age of nineteen, his story is nothing short of remarkable. However it isn’t until now, in his forties that Tom believes he has truly begun heal. When I first met Tom in 2019 we spoke about his battle with meningococcal septicaemia, learning who your real friends are and relearning how to what you love. In more recent years, Tom has become an in-demand keynote speaker, regularly presenting ideas and philosophies steeped in lessons learnt from a life of overcoming adversity. His TEDx Sydney talk, The Perks of Being a Pirate, has been viewed over 2.5 million times. His experiences have given him a unique outlook on life and a belief that while everyone has their own personal challenges, its how you deal with them that matters. Tom’s journey is a testament to the human spirit's strength and the power of determination. Today I sit down with Tom Nash to talk about his new book "Hook, Line and Sinner" and we discuss his healing and how he transformed adversity into an opportunity for growth and how he continues to inspire others with his story of perseverance and accomplishment.

When was the last time you had a conversation with someone that was uncomfortable? ‌ When you heard something they said, and you got the floods. Your heart rate spiked, your hands started to shake, you wanted to not just show them how wrong they were for saying that, but to utterly dominate them into submission? ‌ Did you stop to think about why it was uncomfortable? Were they being out and out racist? Misogynistic? Cruel? ‌ Were they pointing out something in you that you don’t like, and instead of realising that indeed you hold views that you yourself find awful - you projected that anger back on to them?For example, you’re 100% against vigilante justice, and when someone asks you - but what if it was your child that was the victim, do the feelings of rage that arise inside you make you so uncomfortable that they’re even there that you get upset at the other person for suggesting you would ever carry out an extrajudicial beating? ‌ Uncomfortable conversations are vital to have. And if you’re not very good at them, thankfully Josh Szeps is - and you can hear him having uncomfortable conversations every week on his podcast of the same name. ‌ Josh broadcaster, political satirist, and television presenter, widely recognized for his engaging work on the ABC network here in Australia. With a diverse background hosting shows like Weekend Breakfast, NSW Afternoons, and The Drum, Josh brings a wealth of experience and insight to our conversation. I get challenged every single time I speak with Josh, and I relish in the practice of being challenged on my ideas by someone who I trust and consider a great friend - because it’s good practice to not feel like I myself am being challenged, just the idea. I take big breaths when I speak to Josh, but I love it. He’s got a brain on him and I can’t wait for you to hear this chat. Josh has an unflinching commitment to social justice, and is a powerful voice for change. He’s absolutely committed to making the world a more just and equitable place which I’m sure you’ll be inspired by, just as I am.

Broden Kelly. He’s a podcaster, musician and 1/3 of the landmark Australian comedy outfit Aunty Donna. ‌ They’re not for everyone, and that’s OK. ‌ There’s a solid broad line in the middle of our community where a joke is very obvious. And as you get out to the edges, it can get darker, stranger, weirder, more uncomfortable, and sometimes - just sometimes you can loop all the way back around again through all of that discomfort to absolute hilarity. ‌ It’s that particular path for me which makes Aunty Donna one of the most astounding comedy exports out country has ever made. ‌ Their absolutely groundbreaking Netflix show is fucking bonkers. If it’s not for you - that’s fine. Not everything is for everyone. ‌ However the three core people who make up Aunty Donna are smart, delightful, loving humans who have a lot to offer outside of making sure there’s room for pud. ‌ Broden came around to my echoey Melbourne apartment last week to share the incredible journey he and Aunty Donna have been on, the absolute pinnacle moment where they changed the trajectory of their careers all by deciding the intent behind their performance, and wonderfully - we talk a lot about footy. Particularly AFL. ‌ Broden has a magnificent Podcast, “The Footy with Broden Kelly”. I love it because he talks about sport in a way that has about noting to do with stats, with scandals, or with gambling - instead he talks about sport from an emotional place I’ve never heard described before. ‌ I came late to football, both AFL and NRL - however the way Broden talks about it, it speaks to me in a way that the blossom-nosed ex-players on the telly absolutely don’t.

Today Sophie shares with me the highs and lows, the challenges, and the moments of sheer wonder that defined her year-long odyssey.Stay up to date by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

For decades, Dean Yates decades was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst moments imaginable - including the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, it was one final incident which undid him. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by an American helicopter in Iraq. What followed was an unravelling of everything Dean thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound - the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs. To get better took a while. Years of treatment, including several stints inside a psychiatric facility. But he did get better, and is doing a lot better - and it’s so important to know that you can treat these kind of issues. Your life doesn’t have to be horrible. But you have to want to get better, and you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. This conversation talks about Moral Injury, PTSD, describes some pretty reprehensible acts of violence, and crosses into discussing suicide. ***** If you feel like voting for me for the 2023 Gold Logie, you can do so at https://www.tvweeklogies.com.au/Stay up to date on more upcoming NTNNNNN shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

Professor Gaia Bernstein is an expert in privacy and policy law, and is co-director of Gibbons Institute of Law Science and Technology. Her latest book "Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies" explores device addiction and what it’s doing to us. Rather than blaming users, the book really shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. If you’re concerned about your screen time, or what too much screen time is doing to you let alone your kids - this episode is an epic.

If you’re completely unaware of who Rich Roll is - let me bring you up to speed.A star of the Stanford University Swim Team, eventually alcohol and addiction played havoc with his life and career, a path that lead him to jails, institutions and ultimately rehab at the age of 31.He got sober, and got his career back on track - however on the eve of his 40th birthday Rich found himself 20kg overweight and breathless and doubled over in pain by a simple flight of stairs - his level of fitness a long way from his competitive swimming days.What happens next is straight out of a Rocky montage.He went vegan, got back in the pool and started running regularly. In less than two years, Rich was accepted into the invite-only endurance epic “Ultraman”. A double-distance Hawaiian Ironman, 515km of running, swimming and cycling completed over three days where he not only finished in the top 10, but recorded the 2nd fastest swim split of the contest.It was the first, but not the last time he’d compete in Ultraman, and his success there lead him to be named one of the 25 fittest men on the planet.At 51, he was names “the fittest vegan alive” right after competing in the extraordinary Swedish Swimrun race ötillö. 75 km swimming between then running across a total of 26 islands, tethered to your team mate - all in the brisk September waters of the Stockholm archipelago.Physical feats aside - Rich is a beacon of inspiration on so many levels. For me, his sobriety journey is one I use as a catalyst to push myself to be better, to do better, to get better every day at the business of being in recovery.His family is remarkable, he’s married, he and Julie raise four kids together and all that comes with blending families is something they navigate with grace and poise.He’s an incredible innovator. Behind the scenes he’s literally reinventing what it means to be a broadcaster in this modern world.He’s brave - when he changed careers, he deliberately chose to not pursue his law career - even though it offered a lifeline of funds when times were tight, because that would have taken him too far off the path he was forging for himself.He’s curious, his podcast is game-changing.He’s a bloody great human.Stay up to date on more upcoming NTNNNNN shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

What if I told you, that there was a simple way to improve your creativity, self-awareness, focus, concentration, and reduce your stress and anxiety?It’s free.It’s not exercise.It’s not sleep.Any ideas?Turns out - a way to achieve all of those things is solitude.Not sitting in a room alone on your phone, or watching telly - no.That’s not it.Solitude.Just being with your thoughts.Yet Solitude is an interesting thing isn’t it?Too much of it is a bit hard to come back from.Not enough of it - and life can become quite difficult.But what about making time to find it, deliberately?Is it even a good idea?Turns out - it is.A very good idea.And Kerri Sackville has done her homework, written a book about it and is here to chat about it.Particularly about what happens to us when we seek out too little, and too much of it.As someone who’s done both - I found this conversation fascinating, and I changed my daily habits because of it.Kerri Sackville is an Australian writer who is a regular columnist for Sunday Life magazine, Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Age.Over the years, Kerri has appeared frequently on commercial and ABC radio networks, podcasts, and TV shows including Sunrise, The Morning Show and The Daily Edition.She’s written five books, including her latest “The secret life of you” which is about spending time alone.If you can’t recall the last time that happened, this conversation might be what you need to help you carve out some time to make it happen.Kerri is a hoot.Enjoy this , I certainly did.Stay up to date on more upcoming NTNNNNN shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

Dr Ian Chung has been practising for nearly fifty years in Sydney, Australia. We’ll get into his story shortly - however, he made a name for himself as "Dr Rock”, the doctor to call when you have a major international performer that can’t make the show and there are 20,000 people who have bought tickets and are on the way to the gig as you speak. That’s when you called Dr Chung. If you’ve read my book, you’ll know how I came to meet him - but I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did. Not only was he and the first doctor to diagnose me with social phobia (which was the first time everything started to make sense) but he was the first doctor that I saw about my head that taught me real skills to deal with what was happening rather than just talk about it. I’ll never forget when Dr Chung got angry at me when I told him I’d rather have a few beers to calm down my anxiety than take antidepressants, and it was his anger and frustration that shook me out of my stubbornness and lead me to take those meds - which not only gave me incredible relief but made me lament refusing them when I was first offered them nearly ten years beforehand. A quick note - just because Ian helped me, doesn’t mean he’s the only person who can help. I’ve had many doctors since Ian and they’ve all helped me get where I am and stay where I am today - he’s just the one who set the standard to which I held all other doctors accountable to. There are many, many excellent doctors who can help you if you need help. It’s important to allow time to find them. You might not click straight away, it might not work for you, that’s ok - they’ll work for someone else and that’s fine. It’s important to keep trying, keep trying to find the doctor that you click with, one you can trust, one that makes you want to do what they tell you to do. Because if you’re at the point where you're seeing a Dr, you’re at the point where your ideas have run out of usefulness. So be quiet, listen to what they tell you to do, and do it. And it was in doing what I was told by Doctors that helped me get to a place where I’m a lot healthier than where I once was.It’s not hyperbole to say that Dr Chung changed my life - and I am so very grateful that you now get the chance to hear the story of this incredible man. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr Ian Chung. Tickets for live shows are here:MelbourneSydneyStay up to date on more upcoming shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

You’ve heard about people ‘reinventing themselves’ but did you ever wonder how it was actually done?Libbi Gorr is a multi-award winning radio and tv broadcaster who as the satirical character Elle McFeast became the first woman in Australia to helm her own national night-time variety show Elle McFeast Live.When a clearly drunk notorious hitman Chopper Read staggered on stage to be interviewed, and proceeded to laugh while joking about killing a man by putting him in a cement mixer - fair to say the shit hit the fan.The absolute rocket that was Elle McFeast was riding into the heights of career success took a very unexpected turn.Her show which had been commissioned for 32 episodes ran only 16, and well before social media cancel culture was invented, the manufactured media outrage around the moment essentially ended Elle McFeast - sending Libbi to seek cover, where she put things back together to reemerge anew.It was an enormously high-profile moment, one which she talks about with her show Bold Conversations, happening at The Malthouse theatre in Melbourne this Thursday - and we touch on as well during our chat on this episode.Tickets for live shows are here:SydneyMelbourneStay up to date on more upcoming shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

Who are Rob Morrison & Deane Hutton? I'm glad you asked. Rob and Deane are two legendary scientists and science communicators from Adelaide, Australia.For 18 years, they brought science to the living rooms of my country as hosts of “The Curiosity Show”.Absolute pioneers in kids television, they assumed intelligence of their audience and brought complicated concepts to life with simple and practical demonstrations using every day household objects.The show did what it says on the box - it encouraged curiosity.To be ok with the feeling of not knowing why something is the way it is, and using that feeling to drive an exploration towards an answer.Wearing turtlenecks, with great moustaches and all to the soundtrack of some excellently odd Synthesisers - these guys paved the way for the megastars of science communication today.You can check out clips and episodes of The Curiosity Show on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CuriosityShowTickets for live shows are here:SydneyMelbourneStay up to date on more upcoming shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

Erin Brockovich is probably the most famous name in Law in the world. Making a name for herself when she went up against utility company Pacific Gas & Electric and helped bring together the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history on behalf of the people of Hinkley, CA who had been affected by polluted water.Erin went on to become instrumental in numerous other high profile cases, usually up against massive corporate entities who are using their size to get away with either polluting the environment or otherwise neglecting humans basically. Erin was out in Australia doing work with Shine Lawyers - whom she’s been working with for over ten years now, in particular around the issue of PFAS, a toxic chemical contained in firefighting foam used widely in Australia between the 1970s and 2000. The substance was sprayed over defence force bases, shipping ports, and regional firefighting stations for decades. It leaches into the soil and surrounding waterways, causing contamination. In 1987, American authorities wrote to the Australian Government to warn about the dangers of PFAS but nothing was done. Research in the United States has linked exposure to PFAS to cancer and a dozen other diseases. Residents in many Australian towns, including Bullsbrook in Western Australia where Erin visited during her visit, say their dogs have been riddled with cancer and die young. They can’t drink the tap water. They bathe infants in bottled water. There have also been reports of birth defects. Unfortunately, it is difficult to prove in Australian law causation between exposure to this chemical and disease. The people at Shine reached out to me to ask if I’d have Erin on the show, so of course I said yes. I’m terrified to speak about this kind of thing, so I know enough that backing away from it is not the path to freedom - I have to lean into it. So I flew my self on a carbon-offset flight down to Melbourne to speak with this incredible human being. Erin is as you would expect. Incredibly Clever, Blisteringly Fast, Tall, Powerful, Passionate and a Firehose of Fury.I get why she’s good at what she does. Because if you’re going toe to toe in a boardroom with a company that’s got political donations protecting them, you’ll want to have a secret weapon up your sleeve - and that secret weapon is Erin Brockovich. This one blew my socks off. Find her on instagram @the_real_erin_brockovich, let her know you heard her here. And come now to the beautiful Langham hotel in Melbourne to sit eye to eye with one of the best legal minds of our time, and one of the most ferocious environmental activists you’ll ever encounter. Ladies and Gentlemen, Erin Brockovich.Tickets to the Sydney live shows are here: https://www.factorytheatre.com.au/event/friday-night-news-with-osher-gunsberg/Stay up to date on more upcoming shows by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

You know Wil Anderson, either from the days on The Glasshouse, on Triple J, Gruen or Question Everything - his legacy in the Australian podcast space is unquestioned with TOFOP running since about 30 seconds after podcasts were invented, and Wilosophy consistently being one of the greatest interview podcasts out there.And all along the way through his career, he’s left a legacy of young performers, producers and writers who were able to work at the top level of their game sometimes years before they’d otherwise get the chance, giving these people an enormous boost in their careers.I’ve been lucky to call Wil a friend for a while now.

Melanie Zanetti is an actor who splits her time between Australia and Los Angeles. She’s appeared for years on our screens in films and television - everything from the supernatural thriller “Raven’s Hollow” to “Young Rock”.However, it’s her work on a TV show called Bluey that is her most high-profile gig to date.Melanie Zanetti plays the voice of Chilli Heeler, the mum of the two young girls Bingo and Bluey and the wife of Bandit Heeler.If you’ve never watched Bluey - let me tell you. In my opinion, it’s the greatest sitcom written since Seinfeld, and emotionally - you’d be hard-pressed to find a show that is more wholesome, honest, raw and demonstrative of the realities of parenting, child-rearing and indeed the challenges of being a little kid.I get into this with Melanie - but to see my city of Brisbane represented on TV makes me so emotional, for the first time in my life watching Bluey made me feel like my city mattered.If you’ve never watched Bluey, before you listen to this - open up the ABC iview portal on your phone, tv or computer, and check out the following episodes:Curry SwapArmyStoriesSpace andSleepytimeThat final episode just the other day ranked #2 on IMDB on a list of the 100 greatest TV episodes of ALL TIME.Melanie is an absolute delightOn IG @melaniezanetti Hosted on Acast.

It’s a book packed with the latest research and guidelines to maintain vitality into your later years.And don’t think that if you’re in your 20’s this stuff isn’t for you.

When he speaks, people can be very reactionary - because the facts he speaks from can be uncomfortable to hear if you’ve never been challenged in your ways of thinking. Many people have a foregone conclusion as to the kind of man Benjamin Law is, but I’d invite them to look beyond the bile-filled Op-Ed articles of the conservative press and listen instead to the kind of man that Ben is. If you like this conversation, find him on twitter and tell him - he’s @mrbenjaminlaw Hosted on Acast.

Rachel Neylan is a Professional Cyclist who’s a part of the UCI Women's Continental Team, she’s an Olympian, a silver medalist at the World Championships and a very driven and fascinating human being. Rachel Came to my house after reaching out to say she listened to the podcast on Twitter. She’d even post #podsie photos of her training rides when she was in Rio in the lead up to last year’s Olympics. So she came around and we had a chat - a chat that was so engaging, that I didn’t end up talking to her about going to ride for Australia in Rio. Occasionally as an interviewer I get so caught up in the conversation that the ground we are covering is so engaging that it’s sometimes as good a story as the thing that they’re really known for. I texted Rachel afterwards to apologize and she responded that it was in fact a relief to not have to talk about Rio again. Reason being it was a quite emotional journey that she’d covered many times - which involves talking about the death of her Father at the start of 2016. For whatever reason, we didn’t go there but when the chat was over I didn’t feel I’d missed out on getting an authentic connection with Rachel at all. If you’d like to know in greater detail about Rachel’s path to the Olympics there’s a great SBS article which you can read.So come to our old apartment in Bronte, the first time I’d had an Olympian in that house, I still get a thrill meeting athletes of that calibre. This is a cup of tea at my kitchen table with Rachel Neylan.

Erin Brockovich is probably the most famous name in Law in the world. Making a name for herself when she went up against utility company Pacific Gas & Electric and helped bring together the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history on behalf of the people of Hinkley, CA who had been affected by polluted water.Erin went on to become instrumental in numerous other high profile cases, usually up against massive corporate entities who are using their size to get away with either polluting the environment or otherwise neglecting humans basically. Erin was out in Australia doing work with Shine Lawyers - whom she’s been working with for over ten years now, in particular around the issue of PFAS, a toxic chemical contained in firefighting foam used widely in Australia between the 1970s and 2000. The substance was sprayed over defence force bases, shipping ports, and regional firefighting stations for decades. It leaches into the soil and surrounding waterways, causing contamination. In 1987, American authorities wrote to the Australian Government to warn about the dangers of PFAS but nothing was done. Research in the United States has linked exposure to PFAS to cancer and a dozen other diseases. Residents in many Australian towns, including Bullsbrook in Western Australia where Erin visited during her visit, say their dogs have been riddled with cancer and die young. They can’t drink the tap water. They bathe infants in bottled water. There have also been reports of birth defects. Unfortunately, it is difficult to prove in Australian law causation between exposure to this chemical and disease. The people at Shine reached out to me to ask if I’d have Erin on the show, so of course I said yes. I’m terrified to speak about this kind of thing, so I know enough that backing away from it is not the path to freedom - I have to lean into it. So I flew my self on a carbon-offset flight down to Melbourne to speak with this incredible human being. Erin is as you would expect. Incredibly Clever, Blisteringly Fast, Tall, Powerful, Passionate and a Firehose of Fury.I get why she’s good at what she does. Because if you’re going toe to toe in a boardroom with a company that’s got political donations protecting them, you’ll want to have a secret weapon up your sleeve - and that secret weapon is Erin Brockovich. This one blew my socks off. Find her on instagram @the_real_erin_brockovich, let her know you heard her here. And come now to the beautiful Langham hotel in Melbourne to sit eye to eye with one of the best legal minds of our time, and one of the most ferocious environmental activists you’ll ever encounter. Ladies and Gentlemen, Erin Brockovich.

Dr Ian Chung has been practising for nearly fifty years in Sydney, Australia. We’ll get into his story shortly - however, he made a name for himself as "Dr Rock”, the doctor to call when you have a major international performer that can’t make the show and there are 20,000 people who have bought tickets and are on the way to the gig as you speak. That’s when you called Dr Chung. If you’ve read my book, you’ll know how I came to meet him - but I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did. Not only was he and the first doctor to diagnose me with social phobia (which was the first time everything started to make sense) but he was the first doctor that I saw about my head that taught me real skills to deal with what was happening rather than just talk about it. I’ll never forget when Dr Chung got angry at me when I told him I’d rather have a few beers to calm down my anxiety than take antidepressants, and it was his anger and frustration that shook me out of my stubbornness and lead me to take those meds - which not only gave me incredible relief but made me lament refusing them when I was first offered them nearly ten years beforehand. A quick note - just because Ian helped me, doesn’t mean he’s the only person who can help. I’ve had many doctors since Ian and they’ve all helped me get where I am and stay where I am today - he’s just the one who set the standard to which I held all other doctors accountable to. There are many, many excellent doctors who can help you if you need help. It’s important to allow time to find them. You might not click straight away, it might not work for you, that’s ok - they’ll work for someone else and that’s fine. It’s important to keep trying, keep trying to find the doctor that you click with, one you can trust, one that makes you want to do what they tell you to do. Because if you’re at the point where you're seeing a Dr, you’re at the point where your ideas have run out of usefulness. So be quiet, listen to what they tell you to do, and do it. And it was in doing what I was told by Doctors that helped me get to a place where I’m a lot healthier than where I once was.It’s not hyperbole to say that Dr Chung changed my life - and I am so very grateful that you now get the chance to hear the story of this incredible man. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr Ian Chung.  Hosted on Acast.

Peter Garrett is one of the world's most iconic and recognisable musicians and activists, and is also the former federal environment minister and education minister.For twenty five years he fronted Midnight Oil, one of this country's most powerful, outspoken, noisy, sweaty and thought-provoking bands. Their musical career intertwined with activism from the very beginning, they made great music you could dance your ass off to - and within this music was a powerful message. Not an acoustic guitar jangly nasal protesty message either - but a powerful, masculine, almost warrior-like strength that spoke against injustice and inequality.You'll hear through this chat that I reference my own experiences with Midnight Oil, because like many Australians of my generation and the one above me - they were inescapable. Peter has written a memoir called Big Blue Sky, which is out now all around the world wherever you buy your books.Now, about the audio quality. Peter wanted to meet in a cafe in Paddington on a Saturday morning - so through the chat you'll hear the sounds of a cafe, the espresso machine firing up, the sirens, the music, the hubbub of that part of Sydney on a bust weekend.So with that in mind, I'd like you to join me for a cup of coffee at a very small table with the extraordinarily engaging, charismatic, intelligent and passionate Peter Garrett.

Montaigne is a singer/songwriter/performer from Sydney, Australia - her new single "Now (In Space)" is out now, details at montaignemusic.com.auWe met on Twitter after she tagged me in a photo that she took of an old notebook full of "I love Matt Corby" signs she and her school friend had held up in a live audience at Australian Idol about 15 years ago. That she now has a job where she's a performer is so wonderful to see. She came around to my house one morning last week, and filled the room with a powerful and loving energy - she's a really special human. Even if you're not a music head or like other kinds of music, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this chat - we cover what it means to redefine yourself through your appearance, struggles with parents around her sexuality, and what it is to make music for a living. I hope you get as much of a buzz out of listening to this as I did recording it. Enjoy this conversation with Montaigne.  Hosted on Acast.

Blindboy is a musician, TV producer, satirist, author and podcasting legend from Limerick in Ireland.He’s one half of the band RubberbanditsFind him on twitter @Rubberbandits, and see their brilliant Youtube page will give you some ideas of what they’re about.As you know I adore podcasting, I’ve been doing it for years - and like you I have my favourite podcasts that I check in with every week.However, the last few months, every time I get a chance to listen, I’m purely devouring the Blindboy podcast. If you’ve never listened - start from the beginning, that’s all I’ll say.How to describe the Blindboy podcast?Well in the words of my Irish mate Joe - “Blindboy? He’s got brains coming out of his ears!”It is an extraordinarily intelligent show, where each week Blindboy points his curiosity at the world and through a lens of critical theory dives into all kinds of topics and issues - all with a central focus on mental health.Blindboy is very open about his own struggles and his own regime of recovery, which lead him to dive into studying psychology at uni for some time before his band had a breakout hit and academics took a backseat.But because of that, when he talks about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, transactional analysis or indeed Freudian archetypes - you know he’s not talking out of his arse.Having said that - his episode on transactional analysis was so devastatingly crisp and powerful, in one hour it explained more to me than hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars of therapy taught me.But he’s not just about mental health. History, art, politics, religion - music - oh so much music.His two-part podcast on the history of disco just has to be heard. To have him on this show is a true honour, and I hope that this taste of what Blindboy has to offer gives you an opening into what he’s doing and that you add his show to your weekly listen.Just a note up top.Blindboy wears a plastic bag on his head.With eyeholes and a mouth hole, he speaks from behind this shopping bag mask.He does it because when the first Big Brother came out he was horrified at what that level of fame did to the people involved, for the little reward they got in return.So he became Blindboy, and behind his mask he’s able to speak extraordinary truth that someone who had a career to risk could never ever say.He uses some fruity language.So perhaps this one is for when the kids aren’t in the car.Blindboy is touring Australia coast to coast this weekHe’s sold out pretty much everywhere but if you get a chance to go - good lord, enjoy it.Enjoy this Skype chat with Blindboy.

Gabby Bernstein is an author, motivational speaker and coach from New York - she’s written six NYT Best Selling books, and her seventh “Super Attractor” is out now. I first met Gabby about nine years ago when we were both a part of the Summit conference scene in LA and Utah, and I’ve kept an eye on what she’s been working on since then. She and I share a journey of sobriety, however what Gabby’s done with where her direction has taken her since is astonishing. She’s found a way to empower people and share her lessons about bringing things into your life you’d rather have in your life into your life. We have talked about manifesting on this show before, and Gabby is a weapons-grade manifestation machine. The New York Times have called her a guru for the next generation - she may be that but she’s also someone who’s got a lot to say to help you get where you want to be. She’s in Australia right now, there’s a seminar in Sydney this weekend on Feb 2nd in Darling Harbour you can get more intel at gabbybernstein.comCan’t wait for you to hear this. Let her know you heard her here. Enjoy this Skype adventure from a few weeks back with Gabby Bernstein.
