What would you do with an extra 100,000 hours? 🕰️🕰️🕰️

That’s how much extra time you’d have if you live to 100 instead of 70. And that’s an increasingly likely prospect.

What would a 100-year life mean for your health, your finances, your career, and your relationships?

On The Solutionists with Mark Scott, longevity expert Andrew Scott from London Business School says we need to rethink how we age.

“We interpret the longer life as being about being old, and it being about end of life. That is a big mistake.”

For Andrew, longevity is about being younger for longer – and there are things we can do now to give ourselves the best future possible.

🪨🧱 How can we ever find a way forward together, when we’re starting from so far apart? We need direction.

On The Solutionists, host Mark Scott, VC of University of Sydney explores how to bridge divides in an increasingly polarised world.

Kate Harrison Brennan, the director of the Sydney Policy Lab, explains how to best speak across lines of difference and unearth common ground. You'll hear how Julia Gillard negotiated for 17 agonising days to become Australia’s first female prime minister. And Australian doctor and diver Richard Harris talks about the importance of trust and teamwork during the Thai cave rescue.

The Solutionists is a podcast by the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

As CEO of the Electric Vehicle Council, Behyad Jafari has a better idea than most about what policy needs to change before we’ll see more electric vehicles on our roads🚙

On the latest episode of The Business Of, a podcast from UNSW Business School, he discusses what is currently holding the Australian electric vehicle market back, and what is around the bend if we can get it right - including revitalising the Australian car manufacturing industry with “purple collar workers.”

The Business Of returns to explore the role businesses and industry leaders play in the fight against climate change. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts 📲 https://pod.fo/e/1fdb28

Think you don’t like maths? + - We reckon Eddie Woo Wootube can change your mind.

The superstar teacher has a knack for connecting maths to your world – through music, nature, or even sport.

On The Solutionists, Eddie gives University of Sydney VC Mark Scott a lesson in unlocking a love of learning, and helping kids do the same.

Eddie also gets personal, reflecting on what makes a great teacher (spoiler alert: it’s not about having all the answers!) and how the death of his mother shaped his view of growth mindset.

“To me, it's not a Disney-like ‘Anyone can be anything they like if they just believe hard enough.’ I think reality is a bit sharper, and more rigorous than that,” he says.

28/09/2023

Alan Rusbridger was the editor of The Guardian newspaper when a whistle blower called Edward Snowden reached out with documents suggesting the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US was spying on its own civilians. The extraordinary claims landed them in hot water with governments in both the US and the UK, and ultimately forced Snowden into exile in Russia where he remains today, more than a decade on.

So what’s it like when you’re the one responsible for hitting publish on the most explosive story of the decade? One that involves spies and spooks, encrypted messages, and an international hunt for both the source of the story and the journalists who broke it?

In this unmissable episode of Curveball, Alan Rusbridger reflects on his twenty years at the helm of The Guardian, breaking enormous stories like Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks, and shares his predictions for the future of journalism.

“Our practice was quiet for a moment. It was quiet for a generation, it wasn't eradicated. And now it's back. And it's loud. And it's here, it's in your face - literally, on your face! And now we're just living that practice every day.”

Moale James’ reva reva - her skin markings - are a powerful link to her Motu family in Papua New Guinea.

The meaning of tattoo and skin markings change Island to Island, village to village, right across the Pacific.

And now with more and more people choosing to wear the marks of their ancestors – no matter where they live, is the practice becoming more accepted, or do we still have a way to go?

In the latest episode of Culture Compass - produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia - we follow the journey of Moale, Li’aifaiva, a master Tufuga who learned his craft in Samoa and Sean Mallon, Senior Curator of Pacific Cultures at Te Papa in Aotearoa

What else are you doing while you listen to podcasts?

PodPoll 2023, presented by Deadset Studios and Insightfully, discovered we love to potter, drive and get stuff done around the house while we’re dosing up our brains on digital audio. Over half of regular listeners like to relax at home while they listen, while 44% get their fix while driving and 40% do chores in the house and yard.

Digging a little deeper, we found millennials are the most likely to listen in the car, and in news that will shock no one, women are the group most likely to listen while doing chores.

This totally tracks for us at Deadset Studios, of course we’re tipping over into the fanatical pod listener side of the scales! We love to hear it’s so widespread though. PodPoll 2023, presented by Deadset Studios and Insightfully, reveals podcasting is a super STICKY medium. And we already know how active and engaged those listeners are… well now you know how long you have with them!

Australians are spending heaps of time with podcasts and here’s the stat: 72% of regular listeners tune in for up to 3 hours a WEEK; and 77% of regular listeners consume between 2 and 9 episodes a WEEK. An incredibly valuable resource in the fight for consumers’ attention! You can access : Australia’s podcast insights survey on the Deadset Studios website where it’s now LIVE.

Avocado toast, TikTok dances… and podcasts?!? 📱🪴🎧 We found something Millennials and Gen Z can agree on… they both love podcasts! PodPoll 2023, presented by Deadset Studios & Insightfully, found that in Australia, these two generations are the heaviest podcast users. 40% of Millennials and 37% of Gen Z are regular listeners.

They’re also two demographics loving genres like crime, health/wellbeing and comedy… and crying out for more shows on science/the environment, food and beverage, fashion and beauty, storytelling and fiction… so you know what to get your Millennial and Gen Z friends and family for their next birthday… a podcast recommendation list tailored to their interests!

What kind of podcast are your ears pining for? In Australia, PodPoll 2023 (presented by Deadset Studios and market research firm Insightfully) found regular podcast listeners like us are a curious bunch, with 60% saying we try out new podcasts at least once a month, and more than a quarter of us trying out a new poddy at least once a week.

So we’re hungry to hear more, but we can’t always find something we want to listen to. Especially Millennials… a quarter of those who *don’t* listen say it’s because they can’t find podcasts they’re interested in… and now we know what they’re looking for! they told PodPoll they can’t find enough content about science and the environment 🌎 🌱 🧪 , food and beverage 🍗 🍷, fashion and beauty 💄 👠 AND storytelling and fiction 📚 🐉. There’s also a demand for even more podcasts in the really popular categories like crime, health and well-being, and comedy.

Poppy King knows the difference between followers and customers better than most entrepreneurs💄

She began her career in the beauty business decades before influencer marketing, but her knack for story-telling created its own kind of viral success as she became something of a media darling.

Even after it all came crashing down, King has never shied away from the challenge of mixing creativity and commerce.

Now, some 30 years since the launch of her lipstick empire, King has revealed exclusively to Curveball she's returning to the Australian market with a brand new line.

Find out what the Lipstick Queen founder learnt from her first business collapse, how she views the current influencer-inspired cosmetic industry, and why she’s going all-in on a new lipstick line made in the very same factory as her first product.

“I really did try to be the good girl, the good wife, the good daughter-in-law, to be accepted and loved.”

Shivani Gopal’s plans for her future meant that she had to break the mould of tradition to bravely move towards a life where she didn’t have to make herself small.

Find out how Shivani channeled her determination into a fundraise of $1 million to start her own mentoring juggernaut, empowering women across the business world to reach their potential.

“Mum’s got this job she’d worked for 25 years, and she literally walked into her boss’ office and said ‘My son, the writer... He’s written a book that’s sort of inspired by this time where I was married to this successful drug dealer.' It was just the most awkward thing for her. Mum looks like one of the mums in Neighbours. But she let me tell my story.”

And it sure is one hell of a story. The dramatised version of Trent Dalton’s life is not only a best-selling book, it’s also becoming a Netflix series.

Although Boy Swallows Universe shot Trent to literary fame, by the time he sat down to write it he already had two Walkley Awards for feature-writing under his belt.

He’s found writing the perfect outlet for his sharp eye to detail, forged during a childhood where he always kept one eye open to the violence, looking for moments of light among the dark.

Richard was on the other side of the microphone this time round for a rare and wide-ranging discussion on why he once thought a nuclear holocaust would end his life, the moment he literally caught on fire, and how fatherhood changed his once snarky outlook on life.
