Like many, Dr Billy Garvey recently watched the limited series 'Adolescence'.
However, unlike many, as one of the country's leading voices on childhood development and mental health, he is able to offer some crucial insights into the issues the program presents, the solutions we must all be a part of, as well as what he wished the program showed...But before that, Dr Garvey shares with Osher some research-backed insights into parenting more broadly, as well as practical tools for calming and connecting with your kids.

You think you and your siblings are close?
Michael and Andrew Tierney haven't just shared their lives as brothers together, but for 36 years and counting, they've shared songs, spot-lit stages and the story of one of Australia's biggest musical acts and exports: Human Nature.
And they've managed to do it in harmony - both musically and non-musically.In this conversation with Osher, they look back on this incredible journey and ahead to the music they are now making together under the Tierney Brothers name. They talk about everything that's changed in their lives and the industry - including tensions in the band, Andrew's sobriety, living and working in Las Vegas - and everything that's stayed the same, like their undying love of performance.

Is there any escape from the effects of dating apps?
They've clearly changed the dominant paradigms and culture for single people - but could their effects also extend to how we behave in relationships, the kind of ways we value and talk about one another or connect more broadly?
These are the kind of questions that Dr Lisa Portolan, academic and author, has made it her life's work to research and study. And exactly the kind of questions she and Osher dive into in this chat.

Osher's journey in sobriety started just a few weeks before his birthday - a birthday that was destined to take place in Las Vegas. Not ideal. But what happened there, and what he learnt in the process, was life changing.

One of the first jokes that Andrew Hamilton came up with was about the night his house was raided. Later, while making himself laugh at his own reviews of the food he was being served in prison, he thought maybe he should finally actually try following his dream of stand up comedy. So far it's turned out a whole better than dealing drugs.
In this wide-ranging chat with Osher, Andrew shares the many things he experienced in prison, and provides a profound example of making a dramatic change in your life's direction.

There’s a good reason this is Heggie’s third time on the podcast - and no, it’s not because he’s Osher’s long-time mate and he loves jumping in his sauna. Well it’s not just that, anyway.
Heggie shares his thoughts on a range of topics - from what ‘hard work’ really means, advice on simply going for things, the trends he’s seeing (and not loving) in the scene at the moment, and how to think about and approach masculinity today.

How would that experience change how you live out the rest of your days?

He has collected the most profound stories and lessons from those people he has known who have had near-death experiences in his latest book A Second Act: What Nearly Dying Teaches Us About Really Living.In this chat with Osher, he reveals the most valuable things he's learned, how they've changed his life, what he thinks is really going on during a near death experience and more.

There's a fair bit about Michelle Brasier's life that doesn't seem that funny. She lost her Dad, then her brother, then was told she had a 97% chance of her own life being cut short by cancer too. Yet she's still finding humour, choosing optimism and singing just about any chance she gets.
And like, she's a very funny and talented comedian (and writer, and actor) - so yeah, there's still plenty of laughs still around.
In this very special live episode, recorded at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, celebrating the launch of Michelle's memoir 'My Brother’s Ashes Are In A Sandwich Bag' (named one of Apple’s Best Books of 2024 and first in the list of Audible’s Top Ten Memoirs of the year 2024), Michelle discusses how she lives her life and chooses to see the world, her creative practice, and honoring people who aren't there anymore, even if they're past versions of yourself. Also some very raunchy teenage cast parties.
