Amusing Podcast

Have you ever considered how accurate your historical knowledge is? What if there are some main characters missing from your education? How could your societal perceptions be different due to this?

Eileen Blair, Rosalind Franklin and Katherine Johnson are some badass women that should have made it to your history class but more than likely didn't. So today we share the stories of some epic women who were 'erased' from history and importantly we reflect on how and why this affects people in their 20's today.

What do you do if you feel uncomfortable about your boyfriend attending an event where there will be strippers? Is it possible to overcome large differences in beliefs when dating?

Procrastination, perfectionism, declaring flaws and pushing people away who are good for us - did you know these can be subconscious forms of self-sabotage? May we be setting ourselves up for failure before we even have the chance to try? How can we learn to give things a go with confidence this year? Listen along as we share our thoughts around preparing ourselves for success this coming year.

And with that, another year in the books! Amusing has now turned 1 and like any good parents we are reflecting on the year that has been. This year brought with it some of our favourite reads, staple clothing pieces and the worst Uber ride of our life, more on that in the episode though...

Have you ever wondered about the life of a stranger? Felt curious about a random person who you pass on the street? Are we really unique, or are we more alike than we think?

Today we discuss the concept of 'Sonder' - a neologism that describes the realisation of strangers' complexity. If you enjoy people-watching, daydreaming, or musing about the mind's inner workings, you're in for a treat.
