Unpolitical & Incorrect

Music might be the only language that unites the world as well as the only language that this week's guest, Tom, has been fluent in from birth.

A guitar was put into his lap before he could write a sentence or catch a ball. Ever since, he's dabbled with Pop, Rock, Classical and Jazz, and today he's in two bands gigging in Sydney, Wollongong, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival when he's in the mood.

But why? If you're not Ed Sheeran or Coldplay or The Rolling Stones, then why keep going?

In Part 2, sleep is under scrutiny. When can it be sacrificed? For how much money? And how often? 

Then, why pursue projects with little or even zero chance of success?

Facing situations that are destined to be confrontational is challenging.

It’s easy to be intimidated by a boss who seems to control your future, and therefore not ask for that promotion. Conversely, it’s also easy to lash out at Telstra’s customer service, and therefore not receive a deal on your next twelve months of internet.

Kate is back from life-threatening, globe-trotting adventures to share on the art of confrontation.

Socialism seems nice. It seems like it could work. Bernie Sanders thought so. Jaya, the guest of the week, thought so too. 

Bad things are happening right now in a world dominated by capitalism, but…

Are all those problems consequences of capitalism?Will socialism actually fix those issues?Will socialism be free from its own problems?And probably the ultimate question, how does this revolution play out?

For the infamous interview question, “what’s your biggest weakness?”, a quick Google search will reveal thousands of people seeking advice on how to rephrase tardiness, in an attempt to rebrand it into a strength. What if instead of lexical gymnastics to dress tardiness up in a deceptive outfit, the goal was simply to accept that it was a weakness and learn how to develop its opposite: punctuality? What if the goal was to learn from someone who is never rushing out a door with an unbuttoned shirt and a toothbrush in his mouth, but embraces waiting rooms and a stable heart rate, never letting people down…

Yannick has arrived, 15 minutes early, to impart some wisdom and face the questions of how he does it, and if it even matters!

Known for his captivating and insightful monologues on Instagram and TikTok, Josh Terry may seem like an overnight success. This time, he faces the camera to discuss how ten years of hard work is behind what his audience sees today. After discussing the role of the generalist vs specialist, book burning, and facing anxiety, very few stones were left unturned. This is not an episode to miss.

Kai is back! And he’s here to talk about the environment. 

Henry was dim and thought of “green trees and hills”, but it meant so much more. In fact, it encompasses everything around you. What you manufacture yourself and what others design without you always knowing. 

 

Do you fall for the on-sale chocolates at the cash register? 

Or are you someone who goes to bed in active wear so that you’re already ready when the alarm goes off? 

Our environment shapes us, but how, and how much?

This episode travels the centuries from Lord Byron over 300 years ago, to the 20th century with Langston Hughes and Sylvia Plath, and then to a new genre in the 21st century, ‘Instapoetry’, with the likes of Atticus and Rupi Kaur, and even some of this week’s guest’s very own work. This time travel is all in an attempt to answer one question: “What is the value of poetry?”

Is it more than some elitist, hot-pot of words, or could it resonate with us all? There’s no one better to discuss these very ideas than with this week’s guest, Natasha.

How does one man outspend the rest of the parties combined on campaign advertising and still fail to win a seat in an Australian election? Is any of the above moral? Is it moral to lie in an ad, or is morality even relevant? What is the job of the news? How has the internet changed news? Who is responsible when everyone is a reporter?

 

So many questions about matters that affect every single person. Who better to direct them towards than esteemed journalist, Andrew Clark?
