This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2024 - and it might be a very different example of what a politician sounds like from what you've been hearing recently.

Here, Allegra not only reveals to Osher and an eager crowd the realities of political life in Canberra, the best and worst things about the job and why some other politicians are focused on the wrong things, but also the importance of empathy, having hard conversations, how she personally stays mentally strong and how we can focus more on people to find solutions. 

Special thanks to Wolfgang Günsberg for help with the intro and outro of this episode.

Like many, Dr Billy Garvey recently watched the limited series 'Adolescence'. 
However, unlike many, as one of the country's leading voices on childhood development and mental health, he is able to offer some crucial insights into the issues the program presents, the solutions we must all be a part of, as well as what he wished the program showed...

But before that, Dr Garvey shares with Osher some research-backed insights into parenting more broadly, as well as practical tools for calming and connecting with your kids.

Our brains do some amazing things when it comes to creating meaning and recognising patterns. Sometimes it can fill us with awe. Sometimes it can make a heartbreaking situation feel worse.

You think you and your siblings are close?

Michael and Andrew Tierney haven't just shared their lives as brothers together, but for 36 years and counting, they've shared songs, spot-lit stages and the story of one of Australia's biggest musical acts and exports: Human Nature. 
And they've managed to do it in harmony - both musically and non-musically.  

In this conversation with Osher, they look back on this incredible journey and ahead to the music they are now making together under the Tierney Brothers name. They talk about everything that's changed in their lives and the industry - including tensions in the band, Andrew's sobriety, living and working in Las Vegas - and everything that's stayed the same, like their undying love of performance.

Have you ever stopped to think about exactly what your relationship to money is like? Why do you do what you do with it and where did you learn (or not learn) to do it?

Following an example of Osher's own money story, now is your chance to think about just that.

Turns out the way to beat the fear created by political campaigning is to use your words. A lot of them. And big ones. Osher tells you how - and why this will lead to a calmer mind and a more informed opinion.

Is there any escape from the effects of dating apps?
They've clearly changed the dominant paradigms and culture for single people - but could their effects also extend to how we behave in relationships, the kind of ways we value and talk about one another or connect more broadly?

These are the kind of questions that Dr Lisa Portolan, academic and author, has made it her life's work to research and study. And exactly the kind of questions she and Osher dive into in this chat.

Osher's journey in sobriety started just a few weeks before his birthday - a birthday that was destined to take place in Las Vegas. Not ideal. But what happened there, and what he learnt in the process, was life changing.
