Osher Günsberg takes us on a Halloween journey -  from trick-or-treating in a bed sheet in 1980s Brisbane, to DJing in a Voldemort costume in his front yard while his wife drops a giant spider on unsuspecting adults. Along the way, he makes the case that Halloween isn’t just an American import - it’s a night where an entire community shows up for each other’s kids, and the memories are worth every piece of chocolate.

Topics covered:
How slasher films and E.T. taught Australian kids about trick-or-treating
Halloween in America vs. Australia and why our version hits different
Teaching Wolfie the art of misdirection (and accidentally making a three-year-old cry)
DJ Voldemort, Harry Potter, and Hermione
800 kids, one spider, and why it all matters

Coming up:
Story Club December 6th: live on stage with Hannah Ferguson, Mark Humphries, Gen Fricker, Claire Cavanagh, and Charlotte Mortlock. It's the last Story Club of the year get in quick before it sells out again. Get tickets here
Live streaming is coming back - subscribe to our YouTube to get involved.

With every new day comes the opportunity to grow. Hosted by Osher Günsberg - a best-selling author, podcaster, TV host, husband, dad, stepdad, electric mobility enthusiast and part-time climate worrier. This podcast is here to help make today better than yesterday. Since 2013, the show has set out to improve life for you and the people you love. Sometimes it’s authentic conversations. Sometimes we’ll unpack the news or hear how Osher deals with life as a sober person with a different brain. But you’ll always hear something you need to hear (and laugh while you do). Listen to feel less alone, build better habits and discover some solution-based approaches for when life gets tricky.
