So, do you really love Animals? Or do you really love to hate people?

It's a question sparked from a recent experience I had on social media after posting a clip from my interview with comedian Daniel Sloss. And let's just say some of the comments really surprised me.

In this episode, I'm delving into human behaviour, especially in the age of online outrage, and whether we are truly driven by our values, or by the emotional payoff of being 'right'? Plus a look at why supposedly 'progressive' movements sometimes push away their own supporters.

Better Than Yesterday with Osher Gunsberg

Do You Really Love Animals? Or Do You Really Love To Hate People?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/3f6383ea-8389-447f-b372-b42f00434c3e/transcript

Australia’s outback is world-renowned for it’s beauty, it’s uniqueness and it’s people. But what often isn’t spoken about is the sheer isolation living in these remote communities.

My guest on this episode is a man who has lived at the extremes — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Brendan Cullen has lived his life on the land. He’s navigated childhood trauma, isolation, depression and alcohol dependency - and come out the other side a better person and a better father.

In this conversation, Brendan opens up about the moment things caught up with him - when the mental load eventually became too heavy to carry alone and he could no longer wear the mask. He talks about the reality of living with depression, the brutal isolation of the rural Australia, and what it took to finally ask for help. He also talks about finally finding purpose, and how he managed to train to swim the English Channel in the middle of the outback.

It’s a candid yet important look at mental health, particularly in rural communities where silence and self-reliance are often the status quo. Brendan stands as a beacon of resilience forged the hard way, and proof asking for help can make a real difference.

Mark Wales is a former SAS commander, two-time Survivor competitor, bestselling author, and one of the most quietly compelling guests I’ve ever had around.

If you’ve ever wondered what we actually ask of the men and women we send to war (or to secure more oil), and whether we’re honest enough about the answer, this one’s for you

The Human Cost of Our Energy Dependence

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/84a12c50-d00d-4967-bf9e-b43f017afcc8/transcript

One of the hardest parts of parenting is one not many people talk about.

In this episode, we dive into the reality of “mum rage” — the intense, often shame-filled anger that can surface in the daily grind of parenting. Lauren Novak is a journalist, author and mum herself. Her new book 'Melt Down' explores the raw and often unspoken angry emotions that many mothers go through, yet few feel safe admitting. 

This honest and deeply personal conversation explores the gap between what we’re told parenting should feel like, and the pressure-filled reality it often is. We unpack the invisible mental load, the impact of sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and the relentless demands that can push even the most loving parents to breaking point. You’ll also hear about the anger–guilt cycle, why it happens, and how it can quietly erode wellbeing if left unspoken.

If you’ve ever felt overstretched, overstimulated, or just not good enough as a parent, this conversation will feel both validating and illuminating. Because the truth is: you’re not the only one — and talking about it might be the first step to changing it.
