  • 42. [CMM] Touching grass (to post about it online) with Jonah Lafferty

    Let's unpack the irony of the offline trend - is posting about offline hobbies hypocritical? Who better to ask than a birdwatching content creator, Jonah Lafferty.

    This is a Change My Mind episode, a segment on the From the Diving Board podcast where you get to be involved too. Each episode I post a prompt on Instagram and you get to respond. In today's episode we set out to debate the following: In an era of brain rot & AI, “offline content” performs well but rarely changes behaviour.

  • 40. Coachella... when festivals create content, not culture

    Let's talk about Coachella - how did we get here? Despite years of music festivals being inherently counter-cultural, Coachella feels different. From recent footage of crowds barely dancing, to the festival's heavy commercialisation, what does Coachella mean for our culture? And why does it feel so dystopian right now...

  • 39. The surprising predictability of the wellness to alt-right pipeline

    We're unpacking the horseshoe theory: is it actually possible to be so far right that you're left? How did the multi-billion dollar wellness industry seemingly flip from liberal leftist groups to right-leaning carnivores & tradwives? Spoiler alert: it's not as complicated as it seems, and many saw this coming from miles away... let's dive in!

  • 38. Difficult women? Or a difficult system? | Female rage & shame in 2026

    How is it that the words of Epstein are being taken more seriously than words of thousands of women victims? And by 'more seriously', I only mean fractionally. What do we do with all this rage? Why do we feel so numb? And how do we deal with the shame that comes with female anger?

  • 36. [CMM] The problematic business of True Crime

    Welcome back to another episode of Change My Mind, the podcast segment where you get to have a say too!

    Today we’re discussing the ethics of true crime - why we’re so morbidly fascinated with unsolved mysteries, whether it teaches us important information about criminal behaviour, and whether it adequately addresses serious questions about the police and justice system that so many true crime cases hinge on.

    Disclaimer: this video includes non-graphic discussion of SA and crime.

  • 35. It's not you, it's minimalism.

    Pantone chose ‘cloud dancer’ as colour of the year for 2026 - a shade of white. Most people are buying greyscale cars and neutrals have never been more in. In 2026, the 'new ugly aesthetic' suggests that vibrant colour and garish design is a rebellion. So what are the origins of minimalism? Spoiler alert: it’s fascist...
