When I open my phone, it explodes in a cascade of fear, fury and furphies. That content does exactly what it is designed to do—leave me spinning in a tizz of powerlessness and desperation. 

Besides just turning my phone off, I think I have found something that makes that feeling less intense, and instead gives me the feeling that I am actually doing something that will make a difference.

Alex Lee is a well known face in television and comedy, so it's no surprise she was chosen to host the ABC's new comedy game show 'Tonight At The Museum' - filmed inside a real, working museum!

In this episode, Alex talks about how she transitioned from a career in news to writing and starring in hit comedy series, the complexities of filming inside the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and why it's important to keep learning about and from our history.

Alex Lee on using improv and comedy to bring history to life

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/02d67f12-7766-48e6-a82d-b40200169406/transcript

Today we have a rev-up from the incredible Australian musical theatre star Lucy Durack. 
She is living proof that persistence, strategic preparation, and a little bit of hope can open doors you never thought possible.

Lucy Durack is and always will be the original Glinda in the Australian production of the smash hit musical Wicked. But she didn't get that job by accident. In fact, she decided she was going to get it and started preparing for it before the show even existed. 

This segment from our longer conversation is all you need to know about dedicating yourself to preparing for the best version of what it is that you want, and regardless of the outcome, being better for it.

Lucy Durack’s sure-fire method for achieving your wildest dreams

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/fe37f65a-2b58-495f-8449-b3fe006a340e/transcript

If you’ve stopped and looked up in the middle of a shopping centre or on your train or bus commute, there’s probably one think you’d notice – almost everybody you encounter having their faced buried in their phones. The growth of social media and smartphones means we are constantly looking to be entertained.

Today’s guest says – that’s a problem. And he would know, he’s an acclaimed cognitive neuroscientist who has studied behaviour and brain imaging research for more than 25 years.

In his new book, Dr Mark Williams reveals how screen exposure is rewiring our brains, especially those of our children. From dopamine loops and social media addiction… to loneliness, parenting, and the subtle ways technology reshapes memory and relationships - this is a conversation every parent needs to hear. While there’s plenty that is scary in our discussion, Mark also has some simple and effective solutions to help build real-life resilience and connections in a digital world.
