It's not all good, but it's not all bad. A way to handle the avalanche of a news feed

Today Osher reflects on what he learned from this week's conversation with Sylvia Jefferys. In particular, two powerful lessons; learning from a job as another way to get value other than a pay packet, and helpful ways to think about the world when our newsfeeds are an avalanche of sadness and woe.

The Juggle and The Guilt (aka balancing kids and a career) with Sylvia Jeffreys

Today, Osher speaks with Sylvia Jeffreys, an incredibly accomplished journalist and presenter, originally from Brisbane Australia. Sylvia has a matter-of-fact, get-after-it vibe about her which makes the career success she’s had make perfect sense. Sylvia is very open about how she juggles family life and home life, also how she has found particularly interesting ways to deliberately work emotional regulation into her day so she’s able to go back home to her kids after a day exposing herself to the unedited grim realities of the world. ‌ What did you think of this episode?

Who will sing the songs of our people if musicians can't make a living?

Who is going to write the next Aussie Anthem if there's nobody making enough money to do it? Osher reflects on his conversation with Angie McMahon and the recent news that half of Australian musicians earn less than 15% of the minimum wage. There's a massive cultural risk that we're facing.

A conversation about mental health/the news and the relationship between facts, stories and feelings

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has a lot in common with the way we get our news. In this conversation, Osher uses the way that we get our news and the algorithms which then reinforce those stories to draw out the relationship between facts, stories and our mental health. ‌ Tickets to NTNNNNN shows at MICF  TicketSearch OnlineWhat did you think of this episode?

A Hard Chat About Cats

After seeing a poster for a lost cat, Osher wanted to talk about what it means to be a cat owner. As a former owner of two furry, purry executioners, he was shocked at recent research out of ANU which shows that the scale of devastation that domestic, cute, furry pet cats are having on native wildlife is absolutely catastrophic. (Not even sorry for that pun)This is absolutely not a rant against cats.What did you think of this episode?Leave a comment on insta @osher_gunsbergGet tickets to Osher’s Live gigs at MICF https://bit.ly/ntnnnnn24Get on the mailing list https://bit.ly/oglinktreeGot suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?
