The Unlearn Project

A new podcast about changing common sense.

Introducing The Unlearn Project

We discuss why collecting that gold watch and retiring at 65 might not be the best thing and why it’s time to change the retirement narrative.

A lot has changed since Otto von Bismark invented retirement in 1883: we live much longer, more and more of us do knowledge work, and the latest research shows that our brains don’t actually decline as we get older. Could retirement be making us worse off mentally, physically, financially? What if it’s also bad for the economy? We hear from psychiatrists, former Prime Ministers, linguists, retirees, academics, engineers and advocates, and discuss what can be done to unlearn retirement.

You can find transcripts, links for the curious and more episodes on our website: https://sbi.sydney.edu.au/never-retire-unlearn-retirement/

Is there something you think we need to unlearn? Send your ideas to sbi@sydney.edu.au. We read your emails.

Why you should never retire: unlearn retirement

In this extra episode, we take a deep dive into the history of the music industry. We go down rabbit holes that take us from Victorian England to Sydney harbour in the 70s and then on to the hip hop culture of New York in the 80s. We trace the music industry as it resisted and adapted to the rise of new technologies and came to understand music as a product. We hear from a leading researcher on popular music, the creator of the first music sampler, a renowned hip hop artist, and even Thomas Edison…

Extra: a music deep dive

We discuss how the way we engage with music is fundamentally changing - from something we just listen to, to something we create with. On platforms like TikTok, music is becoming a material for creation, for self-expression, for storytelling. And this very real shift in what people do with music, has implications not only for the music industry and what music is, but ultimately for all of us. We hear from the head of music at TikTok, record breaking artists, influencers, musicologists and narratologists.
