Better Than Yesterday with Osher Günsberg
Osher Günsberg
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.

What you need to know about Australia's transition to renewable energy with Prof Alistair Sproul
Professor Alistair Sproul is the Head of the School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW. A globally recognised leader in his field, he's been working in renewable energy and energy efficiency for nearly 40 years. In this episode, we discuss why the political messaging around the energy transition timeline is wildly off the mark. While major parties debate slow-crawling policies, the laws of physics and the hard facts of economics are driving a change much faster than many imagine. Alistair shares Australia’s incredible history as a solar pioneer, explains why coal and gas are becoming "expensive old cars" prone to breaking down, and highlights the massive economic opportunity Australia has to lead the world in green energy exports.
