  • Summary

  • What do you do when the beliefs that once gave you certainty no longer work? How do you cope when you have questions surrounding a popular idea, but don't feel safe to express them? Why is it that society seems more polarised than ever, and yet you don't feel comfortable with either extreme? These questions and more drive the hosts of this podcast. Meet Dave Schenk and DAMIEN, two individuals who are both on the long hard journey of questioning their once held certainties, as they are joined by a variety of guests who also find themselves in 'the awkward in-between'.

    Wrapping up season 1, Dave & Damien chat about what they have learned and unlearned over the course of the previous 12 episodes. Has the podcast been worthwhile beyond personal catharsis for these two middle aged white guys!? Is there such a thing as objective truth, and if so can we know it?

    More importantly ...will there be a second season?

  • 'Asking questions is easier than answering them' with Konrad from Ideas Digest

    'Asking questions is easier than answering them' with Konrad from Ideas Digest
    Nov 6 2022

    Konrad is one of the hosts of Ideas Digest, a podcast that explores the religious & political ideas that divide us in order to open people's minds. In a world where it's getting harder to know who to trust and easier than ever to block out opposing view points, each episode is a fun deconstruction and helpful reconstruction of religious or political ideas for those willing to explore ideas outside their echo chamber & learn to understand their "enemy".

  • 'Older white guys researching sexual harassment' with Dr Jeff Crabtree

    'Older white guys researching sexual harassment' with Dr Jeff Crabtree
    Oct 23 2022

    Dr Jeff Crabtree's own experience of bullying in the music industry combined with his previous interest and research into creative minds led to him choosing workplace harassment in the music industry for his PHD research. It quickly became apparent that gender inequity and sexual harassment/abuse were a huge issue in the industry, and Jeff's research has now received considerable attention in the media including an appearance on TEN's The Project.

    How does an older white man navigate the 'awkward in-between' of becoming a voice calling out injustice about an issue where some of the victims perceive him as one of the 'enemy'?

    Jeff Crabtree is a casual academic, speaker, researcher, film-maker and multi award winning songwriter. He co-authored the book Living With A Creative Mind - an operating handbook for creative people. His doctoral research was the first ever investigation of workplace and sexual harassment in the Australian and New Zealand music industry.
