There’s a good reason this is Heggie’s third time on the podcast - and no, it’s not because he’s Osher’s long-time mate and he loves jumping in his sauna. Well it’s not just that, anyway. Heggie shares his thoughts on a range of topics - from what ‘hard work’ really means, advice on simply going for things, the trends he’s seeing (and not loving) in the scene at the moment, and how to think about and approach masculinity today.

Imagine that suddenly you thought you were going to die. More than that, imagine you thought you actually had. And yet, you wake up, and here you are. How would that experience change how you live out the rest of your days?Dr Matt Morgan has witnessed this situation and heard the answer to that question many, many times - as a medical doctor of over twenty years, most of those spent in the ICU. He has collected the most profound stories and lessons from those people he has known who have had near-death experiences in his latest book A Second Act: What Nearly Dying Teaches Us About Really Living. In this chat with Osher, he reveals the most valuable things he's learned, how they've changed his life, what he thinks is really going on during a near death experience and more.

There's a fair bit about Michelle Brasier's life that doesn't seem that funny. She lost her Dad, then her brother, then was told she had a 97% chance of her own life being cut short by cancer too. Yet she's still finding humour, choosing optimism and singing just about any chance she gets. And like, she's a very funny and talented comedian (and writer, and actor) - so yeah, there's still plenty of laughs still around. In this very special live episode, recorded at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, celebrating the launch of Michelle's memoir 'My Brother’s Ashes Are In A Sandwich Bag' (named one of Apple’s Best Books of 2024 and first in the list of Audible’s Top Ten Memoirs of the year 2024), Michelle discusses how she lives her life and chooses to see the world, her creative practice, and honoring people who aren't there anymore, even if they're past versions of yourself. Also some very raunchy teenage cast parties.

Osher is joined by Dr Will Bulsiewicz (aka. Dr B), a gastroenterologist, author of the book ‘Fibre Fueled’ and founder of 38TERA daily microbe nutrition. He explains what a healthy gut looks and feels like, the dramatic effect it has on not just our physical but mental health, he takes a deep dive into Osher’s own experience, and he tells us the three key things your gut is crying out for - and more importantly, how to get them into us.   Yes, this episode deals with poop. But even if you’re squeamish or don’t normally like to think about it, this is definitely a chat worth hearing. It could hold the key to changing everything about your health.  Check out that Bristol Stool Scale here Find more about Dr B here Has this episode left you with questions?
