#2242 Adapt or Die - Harps & Tiff

Adapt or die; it’s the evolutionary requirement for the survival of any species isn’t it? And on a far less dramatic note, it’s also a prerequisite for you and I to flourish, prosper and succeed in our day-to-day lives. We live in a world that is in a constant state of shift and change and being in…

#2241 New Addictions? - David Gillespie

For no particular reason, TYP and Gillespo have not been in the same room for a while but finally, the gang is back together.

#2237 What Shouldn't We Expect - Bobby Cappuccio

What should and shouldn’t we expect of others? If anything? Do we expect others to be how we want them to be? Or do we expect them to be what they’ve been the last hundred times? And while we’re at it, what do we expect of ourselves? Other than expectations, Bobby and I spoke about positive and neg…

#2236 Nonsense in Psychiatry - Prof. Gordon Parker

Prof. Gordon Parker was almost too smart for me to interview. Nonetheless, I gave it a crack and we covered some hefty subject matter and explored a few things on the lighter side, like Crapsules. And yes, they are actually what they sound like. Enjoy your breakfast. The good Prof. is one of Austra…

#2235 Science and Religion Had a Chat - Dr. Bill Sullivan
