Matt Purcell interviews USA political celebrity Dave Rubin during Jordan Petersons tour in Australia.
DAVE RUBIN
https://daverubin.com/
Dave's journey from a left leaning progressive to a free thinking classical liberal has been quite an adventure. As a gay married man living in America, Dave spent the majority of his adult life subscribing to a certain political belief system based primarily on his immutable characteristics. Fed up with the mainstream media narrative and click-bait news, Dave decided to open up about his awakening, for all to see. He came to realize that no person or idea should be expected to join a side, but rather they should embrace their status as an individual. He now feels that the modern left has lost its way by taking political correctness and groupthink to a dangerous level, distracting from the true American dream of the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Dave's background as a stand up comedian, degree in political science, and willingness to listen without fighting has uniquely positioned him to tackle big ideas and uncomfortable truths with thought leaders from both sides of the aisle. His show The Rubin Report aims to create civil discourse with people we both agree and disagree with, and host a dialogue with others whose ideas are judged before being given the chance to be presented in an honest way.
Dave is currently taping season 5 of his talk show, speaking around the world with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the "12 Rules for Life Tour," and performing stand up comedy in cities around the U.S. -

Matt Purcell spoke with Australian music artist Dami Im on The Examined Life Podcast which they discussed her music, story and beliefs.
Support Dami on her tour
http://www.damiim.com/tour/
About Dami
In 2013 Dami Im arrived, seemingly out of nowhere, and found herself a home in the sonic heart of Australia. Born in South Korea, Dami won The X Factor on the strength of her astonishing voice and palpable sense of artistry. More success followed as Dami earned multiple ARIA accreditations, including #1 chart positions and multi-platinum sales for the likes of her self-titled debut album and hit singles 'Alive', 'Super Love' and 'Gladiator'. For any one tuning into The X Factor it was obvious that Dami was not only an artist of the new millennium, but she possessed a devout understanding of the rich history of pop and how truly great songs are crafted.
Since then, Dami released two more acclaimed studio albums, including the Gold accredited 2014 release, CLASSIC CARPENTERS, which peaked at #3 on the ARIA album charts and gave rise to a sold out national tour. Dami then travelled to Sweden to represent Australia at The Eurovision Song Contest 2016-where she placed second in the world performing in front of an audience of 200 million with her power ballad & international smash, 'Sound of Silence'.
The beginning of 2018, saw Dami release her fourth studio album, I HEAR A SONG via Sony Music Entertainment Australia. I HEAR A SONG sees Im breathe new life into jazz classics while also weaving pared-back pop hits around two stunning new original songs, all beautifully recorded in Nashville. The impressive collection of songs from the most iconic and ground-breaking women of music include album opener, 'Feeling Good' famously performed by Nina Simone, Beyoncé's 'Love On Top' and the first instant grat track, the emotionally charged, 'Autumn Leaves'.
When asked about the track listing, Dami comments, "Before you listen to the album it might look like an unusual combination of songs but I recorded every tune with the same desire, which was to share the stories of these amazing women, the most raw and simple way, through a microphone and my fingers on the black and white keys."
Breaking with the modern multitrack style of recording, where each instrument and vocal layer is recorded in isolation, Im and producer Rick Price fittingly returned to more old school methods. Every track you hear was recorded with Im playing the piano or the Wurlitzer live as she sang. "Even though doing it together is more imperfect, it sounded better left organic and raw rather than trying to have that perfect, polished sound," she says. Among the musicians on the album is double bassist Dennis Crouch (Johnny Cash, Elton John, Diana Krall), virtuoso harpist Kirsten Agresta Copely (Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Beyoncé), string arranger and viola player Kristin Wilkinson (Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton), and members of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.
Dami returned to the stage in April & May performing tracks from I HEAR A SONG in an up-close and personal environment along the east coast. Due to the success, Dami will be back performing three regional performances across Australia. Starting on the 3rd of November at Gladstone Entertainment Centre, 23rd of November in Coffs Harbour and 24th November at Wests New Lambton, Newcastle.

We have an authentic discussion about Oshers new book "Back After The Break" which dives heavily into his battle with mental illness. Our conversion is real and honest and we cover lots of topics including mental illness, anxiety, depression, our wives, life's purpose and much more.
Osher Gunsburg Bio:
It's hard to remember a time when Osher Gunsberg (or Andrew G as he was then) wasn't on TV - he's just always been there, looking at ease in the spotlight, beaming a big smile, with a questionable haircut. He was there hanging out with The Offspring backstage at the Warped Tour on Channel V; announcing to a national audience of three million people that Guy Sebastian was our first Australian Idol; and later capturing the heart of the nation by hosting every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and now Bachelor in Paradise.
But while everything looks great from the outside, the real picture has not always been quite so rosy. Osher has always known he's different to most other people. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks and weight issues since he was young, he tried for years to drink away the anxiety and depression. He ended up unemployed, divorced, suicidal and certifiable on the other side of the world, yet somehow he managed to put the broken pieces of his mind back together and make a life for himself again. He lives with a mental illness - and he's come to terms with it to live an authentic, rich and fulfilling life.
