It’s Q&A Monday, and Zara from the Sunny Coast has sent a message on the substack with a whole stack of questions all around how Audrey and Osher met and got together. What is your biggest turn-on? What is your biggest turn-off? What is your love language? What’s the very first thing you noticed about each other? In what ways do you feel like you’ve grown from or during this relationship?

For over 25 years, Welsh journalist Jon Ronson has been spending time with the absolute fringes of our communities. He gets so deep in with these people, to truly humanize them. Which is useful, especially that time he was outed as a Jew in the middle of a jihadi training camp. One of Jon’s most famous books is called “The Psychopath Test” - and he’s touring a live event to Australia before the end of the year. It’s the chance to spend an evening with someone who’s spent his evenings with the most extreme, terrifying, ideological humans on the planet. Sign up to the Better Than Yesterday newsletter here.

If you’re in a long-term relationship, chances are at some point you’ve at least explored ways that you can navigate things when you disagree.Because ultimately it’s not the good bits that keep us together, it’s the way we handle the difficult bits.The slightly handy part of an long-term intimate relationship is that when words fail you, there’s the stuff that you hear about in Marvin Gaye songs.But what if when you get that feeling you can’t access the sexual healing because you’re in a band and rule #1 of being in a band is don’t sleep with anyone in the band.Osher’s guest today is Phil Jamieson is the lead singer of Grinspoon, one of Australia’s greatest rock bands. True road warriors, they’re about to head out for a colossal adventure around the nation, in some places having to create venues, because the places they once played no longer exist.If you’ve never thought about what it takes to put a band on the road, and indeed keep a band together for as long as they’ve been together - this conversation will shed a lot of light on the realities of life as a member of a band which is truly a household name.Subscribe to the newsletter here: http://oshergunsberg.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

The other day when Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey were here, we touched on something dear to my heart - using music as a way to enhance your day. I’ve used music as a tool for as long as I can remember. To shift mood states, to help me remember things, and to concentrate. It’s the last one that had me thinking a bit - and it’s something I wanted to share with you in the hope it might be useful Spotify Playlists:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5kahhMRNRn3cGvZgnzNhzp?si=1d81b69c466c4ff9https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3boTr6G5GYwBaI78lXbVOU?si=3de2f14e675240e3Artist Instagrams:Instagram (@hailconan)Instagram (@sunnofficial) Hosted on Acast.

loving your podcast. may i suggest production person consider lowering the volume of background music. it gives a vibe sure but its distracting the volume.
wow. sweet bro, your spot on. its so sad that society thinks its standard and OK to have notifications on. its literally impacts mental well being and sociability.
would like to hear more. going through it. dealing with anxiety and talking myself through. difficult.
I wanted to like this podcast but there is too much waffle! Tried several times but takes too long to get into the actual topic.
Exposure therapy shouldn’t suck. Exposure therapy can easily turn into flooding therapy. Don’t flood yourself with over-exposure Be merciful to yourself. Even if you cannot handle 10% exposure, try 1% exposure. If not, try 0.1% or 0.01% or 0.001% exposure but only at the level of you comfort. It’s kinda like working out in the gym. If 10kg is too heavy for you, then use 1kg. Always work your way in the tolerance range of your comfort up to the level of powerful strength

Can you get a climate denier on? Be a good show.
super hopeful show - love it ❤
I am so grateful to have found your show this week, boy what an impact! Depending on how you tell my story, my life, can be a complete disaster full of PTSD, substance abuse, anxiety and depression, chronic illness and the man who is still trying to ruin me, or it can be a blessing. My adoptive Dad and stepmum, my miracle baby, the chance to work with our beautiful wildlife. My psychiatrist, my psychotherapist that have never given up on me even after 9 yrs. Always there helping me get well. Listening to this program has reminded me of the human spirit. The want of others to help. I have been through these tough times to teach me the power of the self. To demonstrate to my daughter no matter what, I have her back. And as long as we can be mindful that today, is better than yesterday......
This sounds exactly like Nicholas Cage!
Love listening to you each night have only recently found you so only up to ep 19 but really enjoying every show
Thank you so much Osher and Rosie 🙏🙏🙏
