What do boy bands, modern dating and unhealthy masculinity have in common?

According to today's guest - comedian, writer and performer Bridie Connell - more than you think.

In this hilarious conversation, Bridie joins me to talk about her wildly original musical F*ccbois: Live In Concert — a sharp, affectionate and very funny satire about a fictional boy band, performed entirely by a female and non-binary cast in drag.

Bridie shares how years of observing modern dating culture, “love bombing”, gaslighting and the strange choreography of bad male behaviour inspired the show. And how what began as a desire to write about “f*ck boys” eventually became a full-scale musical and a love letter to the boy bands of the ’90s and 2000s, like Backstreet Boys, *NSync and Westlife.

The show is hilarious - if you get the chance to see it, you won't regret it!

How Bridie Connell Built a Fake Boy Band That Feels Real

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/13beeb64-af9a-48d9-8f3c-b41e001a4c2a/transcript

If you've wondered whether electrification is actually feasible, affordable, or secure — this episode answers those questions with data, not hope.

Saul Griffith — MIT engineer, inventor, and author of Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future — reveals why Australia is uniquely positioned to lead the world's energy transition, starting with transport. In this Best Of episode focused on energy security and transportation, Saul explains why electric vehicle adoption will happen faster than anyone expects once price parity hits, how EVs actually make the grid more resilient by serving as distributed battery storage, and why hydrogen vehicles are a fossil fuel industry distraction that can't compete with batteries on physics or economics.

You'll hear:
The 35-second plan that could decarbonize Australia by 2030
Why rooftop solar's explosive growth previews what's coming for EVs
How the Ford F-150 going electric changes cultural perceptions overnight
Why Australian households with EVs could go off-grid for 10+ days
The engineering reality that kills hydrogen's viability for transport

Energy Security Through Transport Electrification with Saul Griffith 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/3406fa5a-7eb1-4e49-9055-b41a005a0b5d/transcript

What does it actually mean to live a good life in a world that feels increasingly complex, divided, and emotionally charged? 

In this conversation, I speak with world-renowned moral philosopher and professor of bioethics Peter Singer to unpack some of the hardest questions of our time—from the ethics of global conflict and public discourse, to why we ignore suffering we could prevent, and what we really owe one another. 

We explore the tension between outrage and empathy, the psychology behind why we cling to certain beliefs even when faced with evidence, and how identity can quietly shape (and limit) our thinking. Peter also shares the personal story of how he radically changed his own views, and why being willing to revise your beliefs isn’t just intellectual humility… it’s a moral responsibility. 

And Peter explains how to make donations to charity have the greatest impact in 2026.

Motivated Reasoning: Why We Believe What We Want with Peter Singer 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/c0ab04e1-4b2c-46f8-85ed-b41700019051/transcript

Rich Roll gets brutally honest about the seven-year financial nightmare that nearly broke him — cars repossessed, dumping rubbish behind grocery stores, racing against house foreclosure while being featured on the cover of Outside Magazine. 

This isn't the polished hero's journey. 

This is the real thing.

Part of a longer conversation form ep 484, today Rich and Osher discuss: 

The dissonance between public success and private collapse

How his wife Julie's "Jedi mindset" became their survival strategy

Why he treated the repo man with dignity instead of resentment

The neuroscience of movement as a pattern interrupt for stuck thinking

The single question that kept him from going back to his old job. 

If you've ever been one bad month away from losing everything or wondered whether your dream is worth the cost, this conversation will stay with you.
