Francis Leach is one of Australia's most experienced and respected journalists, broadcasters, and presenters, having worked in television, radio and print for more than three decades. He is also one of my mates, my favourite polymath (someone who knows a lot about a lot of subjects) and also, a ripping bloke who, for this episode, made my job (as host) super easy. This was fun.

The Tai Chi-teaching, rural living, nature loving, tech geek, father of one (dog) is back, and this time we chat about the potential ban on kids under sixteen accessing social media, the pros and cons of our current digital world, the first bloke to have a Neuralink implant, how the new super-dooper Al programs aren't always super or dooper, headphones that allow you to clearly hear an individual voice (the person your chatting with) by blocking out all the other voices in a noisy room (I want those), a self-balancing motorcycle (ridiculous but Patrick loves the idea) and China's new robot dog that comes complete with a machine gun on its back. What could go wrong?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Intelligence is not 'a' thing but rather, a bunch of things. In some rooms I'm mildly smart, in others l'm wildly stupid. It's context, task and situation dependent. Want my advice on technology, you're in trouble. Ask me about biology or psychology, you're in with a chance. In this freestyle episode, Tiff and I talk about individual learning and teaching styles, getting better with age, exposing yourself to new and different stimuli (challenges, experiences, situations, information) and the issue of retention (remembering the stuff we learn).

Amy Molloy and I agree, there's no five easy steps to virtually anything. Might be five hard steps. Or twenty-six. Or five easy and five hard. Might take you a month and me, a decade. The point is, different things work for different people. Whether it's grieving, getting in shape, making money, communication, growing a brand, reducing anxiety, a relationship model, lifestyle or even, hosting a podcast! My best job might be your worst nightmare. Your easy run might be my torture session. And your favourite meditation practice might give me anxiety! I loved this chat with the deep-thinking, incredibly articulate, super-smart (it's all true) story-teller that is, Amy Molloy. Amy is a journalist, editor and award-winning author who produces uplifting content for the biggest names in global publishing. Enjoy.

Adriano Zumbo is an Australian pâtissier and television presenter, who opened his first patisserie in 2007 before rising to prominence as a frequent guest on MasterChef. He is the host of the Australian baking competition program Zumbo's Just Desserts, and a judge on the Netflix web series Sugar Rush. It's fair to say that I didn't fully comprehend the work, skill, creativity and even science, that goes into making awesome sweets (cakes, pastries, biscuits, desserts, etc.), factoring in the myriad of taste, texture, presentation and ingredient variables. Coming from the bloke with the most boring and repetitive eating habits on the planet, this is no surprise. I learned a lot in this chat. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
