Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg episodes

February 14, 2016 120: Mark Holden
Mark Holden is a household name in Australia. He’s had more extraordinary careers than I’ve had hot dinners. He’s been a Teen Pop idol, an on-screen soap opera heart throb, a heavyweight songwriter, publisher and manager in L.A., a music manager here in Australia who managed artists like Vanessa Amorosi, a judge on the first five seasons of Australian Idol, a cancer survivor and now a full-time Barrister in the Victorian legal system. You’ll hear that I’m very fond of Mark, he was a great hero of mine and guided me through my first years of extraordinary public exposure - as someone who’d done it all before. We cover a lot of ground here, we get raw and real - and then he tells me about the time he dragged The Hoff out of a fistfight.

January 24, 2016 117: Damian Barbeler
Damian Barbeler is an award-winning composer who I actually grew up with in Brisbane, and now lives with his family in Sydney. Find him at barbeler.com Damian's works have been commissioned from and performed in all parts of the world, his music is at the same time avant-garde and incredibly accessible. He's got a PhD from the Sydney Conservatorium of music, he regularly teaches both young and old the art of composition and is indeed a man that can inspire his students to achievements they never thought possible. I know because he used to teach me. He's one of the smartest, most creative people I know - so I got him over to talk about creativity.
We could all use some. Whether we're writing music, a book, a blog post, a dinner menu - nurturing and flexing our creative muscle is important, and today Damian talks about just that. I hope that the tools and techniques and practice that he talks about resonate with you and that you can apply what he has to offer to your life, and your passion and purpose.

December 20, 2015 116: Robert De Castella
Robert DeCastella is an International Sporting legend. He set the World Record for the Marathon in 1981, competed in four consecutive olympic games, took Gold at two commonwealth games, won the boston marathon, & set a city to surf record that stood for ten straight years. He's also a remarkable man who's focused his life after competition on helping others. Not only through his time as Director of the AIS, but now as Director of the Indigenous Marathon Project. Australian Indigenous Issues are very important to me, as you'll probably guess from listening to this show - so it's always a thrill when I can get a guest on who can shed light on this - an issue so great that we as a nation have a chance to make things right, and we can do it in our lifetimes if we want to. http://imf.org.au

December 13, 2015 115: Cassie Howarth
Cassie Howarth is an Actress from the Central Coast in NSW Australia. She's currently a major character on the landmark Australian TV show Home and Away, and is just a lovely human. She came to my house one afternoon during the last week of their shooting schedule, and opened up about how her path to success pretty much broke her before redemption. It's a common story on this show - that you've got to get broken to build back stronger, and Cassie was very generous sharing what she had to say. It's a great chat, an inspiring chat, and if you're going through some rough patch at the moment perhaps you can take heart in her tale of getting back up off the canvas, and coming out swinging. So come and have a cup of tea in my living room with me and CAssie Howarth.

November 22, 2015 112: Ben Gerrard
Ben Gerrard is an extraordinarily talented performer from Victoria in the lower right hand side of Australia. He's currently playing more than 20 characters all by himself in the brilliant solo show "I Am My Own Wife", which explores transgender issues, human rights, communism, and resilience - it's currently playing at the Old Fitz Theatre in Kings X, Sydney. There's a few shows left, do whatever you can to go and see it. He's also up for a Logie award for his brilliant comedic performances in "Open Slather" the sketch show on Foxtel. Ben came to my house and was nothing but delightful There's a depth and talent to this man that is at first unassuming but gradually radiates out of him, blinding you. He won't be in this country long, as I have the feeling that he's about to be one of our greatest comedic and dramatic actors. I'm very happy that I can bring you this.

November 15, 2015 111: Jeffrey Foskett
Jeffrey Foskett is a singer and guitar player from Northern California who’s been a permanent member of the Beach Boys since the late 1970’s. He went on to be Brian Wilson’s musical director and right hand man for many years, and recently has rejoined the Beach Boys as they continue to write, record and tour to millions of fans all around the world. It’s not often I get the chance to chat with someone who is so clearly gifted, and has had a career in music that’s gone on for so long - and you can bet that there’s quite a story behind Jeffrey’s success. I’m a big believer in putting your intention out into the universe and then focusing your energy in the direction of that intention. Jeffrey’s story of how he got his break gave me goosebumps, but it’s not uncommon - if you’ve listened to this show - you’ve heard it time and time again. I recorded this yesterday in the Intercontinental Hotel in Double Bay in Sydney on a humid Saturday afternoon when the world was still in shock about the news out of France. We were only a few hours away from The Beach Boys taking the stage, and yet Jeffrey was kind enough to give me time to talk. The Beach Boys are touring Australia this week, get out and see them if you can - like Jeff said, it might be the only time you see them so they’re committed to putting on a great show. I’m grateful for John Ferriter for hooking this up, It’s a hell of a story. I hope you like it.
