On The Road Again - Special

We don’t often hear what that time is like when you’re starting to suspect that something’s not quite right with your mental health.In this episode of Get Psyched Sharna, Ella, Luke and Lis describe that time in their lives, how they felt, what they did, and importantly what they learned. Which is what the clinicians focus on too; the learning. Learning about yourself and the signs you might notice when things aren’t great; learning what sorts of tools we can put in our tool box of life to help us through those tough times; and learning some strategies and early intervention techniques that might be helpful in supporting someone else.

Get Psyched - How to get or give help

How can something seemingly so simple, like brushing your teeth, become too hard? It can be difficult to understand, unless you’ve lived it. In this episode of Get Psyched Lis, Ella, Sharna and Luke talk about those daily tasks that felt impossible for them when their mental health wasn’t at its best. As they do, we perhaps start to think about it in a different way? Then we welcome in the clinicians who tell us what our brains are doing in those moments. You'll finish this episode with heaps of different ways to think about and approach this stuff, with ourselves or others.

Get Psyched - When judgement feels everywhere

Ever feel like you can’t turn your brain off?Or maybe you want to understand why someone in your life seems to ‘over-think’? In this episode of Get Psyched you’ll be introduced to four young people who talk about what it felt like when they couldn’t turn their brains off and what sorts of thoughts were running around in there! You’ll then find out why our brains do this as three different clinicians help us understand why all of us can sometimes get stuck on that mental ‘round-a-bout’. Plus, you'll get some useful thing things to do and say to support yourself and others.

Melbourne became a ghost town during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pubs and venues closed their doors, leaving many of the city’s artists and creatives without a stage to perform on or an audience to perform for.

Yet over successive lockdowns, it was the creative industries that kept communities strong, as we all adapted to unprecedented circumstances. 

In The Stage Goes Dark, four creatives share their struggles and victories during the pandemic and cry out for an overlooked community, calling for a lifeline.

From The Embers 2: A Change in the Landscape

(CBAA) 

One and a half million hectares of Yuin Country was destroyed by the 2019/2020 mega fires in the South Coast of New South Wales. These fires killed countless animals, plants and insect species - some of which are now on the brink of extinction.

Many members of the South Coast Yuin Community call these mega fires, ‘Wrong Fire,’ fires that can’t be controlled and have the capacity to injure and kill. This type of fire is vastly different to Right Fire, often called Cultural Burning. Right Fire has been practised for thousands of years and has the capacity to heal and care for all.

Do you expect the law to apply equitably to men and women? Yeah, so did I.

In this podcast we hear women, their lawyers and their counsellors describe the way the legal process plays out, and how common it is for women to find themselves at a legal disadvantage even before the process begins.

This podcast will get uncomfortable, because it seems the more we understand the application of the law and how it impacts women, the more uncomfortable the law becomes. But there’s something about these very real, uncomfortable stories that will prepare us to get the best from the legal system we've got.

From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki Kundu.

For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front of me as the stars set.

On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward introductions to the constantly expanding roster of characters. 

But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story was going to turn out. 

This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding when the time was right to record.

I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure SM58, but I can live with that.

So, in 2021 I decided to live alone in Sydney. What I didn't realise at the time was what that really meant.

During 100 days of lockdown in 2021, I spent most of my time in my studio apartment. What started out as novel, began to drag as Winter turned into Spring, but Sydney stayed quiet. When the solitude felt more like isolation I was kept afloat by conversations with friends over the phone.

I have attempted to condense 100 days of lockdown into 12 minutes of audio featuring Gladys, coffee making, and the varied experiences of my friends.

The first African-American to have a face transplant tells his own story - in a documentary about faith, identity and character.

We’re talking with Bradley Garrett about Doomsday peppers, underground bunkers and COVID-19.

Doomsday prepping is the practice of anticipating and adapting to an imagined impending crisis, ranging from low level crises to extinction-level events.

Bradley theorises this type of architecture as the Architecture of Dread, drawing on the work of Soren Kierkegaard’s 1844 The Concept of Dread and Sigmund Freud.

“The ‘objectless anxiety’ at the core of contemporary prepping, in contrast to the specific nuclear anxieties driving survivalism, is a ‘sense of existential dread we experience on many fronts’, without ‘much specification of particular risks’.”

How some countries get ahead with vaccines, what the world has learned about preventing the next pandemic and whether vaccine passports are an assault on human rights  - a few of the political questions on which a global panel from Singapore, USA, Kenya, South Korea and the United Kingdom, compare notes.

In recent decades, London has fallen into the hands of the super-rich. It is today the essential “World City” for High-Net-Worth Individuals and Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals.

Compared to New York or Tokyo, the two cities that bear the closest comparison, it has the largest number of wealthy people per head of population.

Taken as a whole, London is the epicentre of the world’s finance markets, an elite cultural hub, and a place to hide one’s wealth.

BBC Trending looks back on a tumultuous 12 months which have seen the tide of disinformation reach dizzying new heights. From the global pandemic to the US election, the extraordinary events of the past year have been shaped by the online spread of falsehoods, propaganda and bizarre conspiracy theories.

Ahead of the release of his memoirs, former President of the United States, Barack Obama talks to historian and broadcaster David Olusoga.

He discusses his motivations for writing the book and the challenges he faced confronting political, cultural and racial divisions in America, as the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Despite the challenges America is facing, particularly now, Obama believes in the possibility of America. “History doesn't move in a straight line – it zig-zags and can go backwards. If you were an African American right after the Civil War during Reconstruction, you might feel pretty optimistic. Fifteen years later, you'd feel very pessimistic, because there was a massive retrenchment.”

On the second anniversary of the armistice following the end of the Great War, the remains of a single Unknown Soldier were brought home from the battlefields of the Western Front. Given the scale of the carnage and the fact that so many of the fallen were simply unidentifiable, the idea to commemorate the dead through the remains of one anonymous soldier - that would represent them all - was more than just pragmatic. As an idea it had a symbolic, almost poetic, resonance.

In this moving feature, Moira asks whether the Unknown Soldier is finally an icon of war or peace; of sorrow and mourning – or is he a warning to us still?

Tracking diseases like Covid-19 that leap from animals into humans is something scientists have been doing way before COVID-19. In this discussion recorded in 2017 on a farm in Dong Thap in the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City’s Factory Contemporary Arts Centre we hear how Vietnam’s agricultural economy makes it easy for diseases to spread to humans. Claudia Hammond and Ha Mi hear from the farmers affected by the 2004 outbreak of the H5N1 strain of bird flu. Things have improved but only a third of those involved in slaughtering animals have any protective equipment – so many are at risk of breathing in virus particles and becoming infected. Scientists test animals looking out for any new diseases which could spread to humans in the way that Ebola, Zika and HIV have – a process called zoonosis.

In the last week of February 2020, Nigeria successfully detected a coronavirus case and traced it back to Milan. It’s a success story which shows the virus screening system they put in place to deal with Ebola is still working. However, what about elsewhere in Africa? The continent has huge Chinese investment, many contacts with Wuhan, the industrial city where Covid-19 originated; there is a good chance the virus has already spread in countries which have limited means of detecting or treating it. Developing a vaccine for the virus is one of the routes to eradicating it, but vaccines usually need to be refrigerated. A team in Texas has come up with a vaccine encased in a film which means it can be transported and used without refrigeration, potentially a huge boost for a global roll out.

In 2018, more than a quarter of a million people took to the streets across France, in what became known as the “gilets jaunes” protests. They began as a reaction to an increase in fuel tax; a tax which was supposed to help the environment but to the protesters, it meant they could no longer afford to drive their cars or get to work. These were the first high profile demonstrations against policies designed to tackle climate change, but they put a spotlight on a sense of unrest that has spread far beyond France. So if it is widely accepted that climate change is a real threat, why is there a backlash against climate policies?​
