1 hr 10 min - Season 6, Episode 2 with Ben Hutchinson on Safety Science and Systems
In this episode, Ben and I discuss his PhD thesis and his vast work experience in this area. Ben's PhD is focussed on seeking to understand how, in high-risk environments, we build up false assurance and false senses of confidence (fantasy planning) in our safety systems, plans, controls and practices which are not aligned to the actual or likely degree of harm/vulnerability.

46 min - Episode 6 with the legend Sonny Brown from the Sonny Brown Breakdown
Its time to break it down with the MAN...the Myth ....The legend....the one and only Sonny Brown
Sonny started training martial arts seriously in 2007, beginning with Shoot Fighting, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling all at the same time at Langes MMA in Sydney. Sonny was able to be victorious in 3 MMA title bouts becoming a 3 time Australian Mixed Martial Arts Champion in the lightweight division beating standouts Dan Hooker and Damien Brown.
And he had one MMA victory via Gogoplata choke and at this stage am still the only person in Australia to do so which puts him in the company of Nick Diaz. He was awarded a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in 2017 by my coach, 4th Degree Black Belt Anthony Lange and has continued to train, teach and still compete in grappling competitions. I also had a renewed interest in American Folkstyle wrestling.
His breakdowns and technical analysis videos have had high praise from Randy Couture, Matt Lindland, Karo Parisyan, Phil Davis and the coach of the Granby High wrestling school to name a few. In 2019, he started “The Sonny Brown Breakdown” podcast to have discussions on the training, teaching, health and education of mixed martial arts. Check out everything Sonny Brown related at https://www.sonnybrown.net/ and his fight record at https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/21661-sonny-brown

1 hr 20 min - Episode 5 with Professor Michael Gradisar- pediatric sleep and insomnia
In this episode, Michael and I discuss insomnia, chronobiology, performance and pediatric sleep.
Michael's overview in his own words.....
My working week consists of being a sleep scientist, a sleep psychologist, teaching Masters and PhD students, and running postgraduate degrees in clinical psychology - oh, and running a start-up on the side ...
I’ve grown from a lone clinical psychologist starting up my own sleep clinic in 2005, helping people and families 1-on-1 to improve their sleep. Now, I lead a team of postdoc researchers, PhD and Masters students, and psychologists, and a sleep clinic that is attracting worldwide recognition. This has allowed me to invent novel evidence-based sleep treatments applicable across the lifespan. But I’m not completely satisfied with the slow pace of helping people 1-on-1. My techniques have expanded to group settings, and to schools. The first self-help book is complete (parents of school-aged children), and the first app for babies’ sleep is on its way. But the pace is still too slow for the ideas I generate and many institutions to ill-equipped to turn ideas into valuable products. Thus, WINK Sleep Online was born -https://winksleep.onlineFind Michael at https://researchnow.flinders.edu.au/en/persons/michael-gradisar-2
