  1. 3 Life Lessons with Tim Minchin

    5 DAYS AGO

    3 Life Lessons with Tim Minchin

    Hi! Today, we speak to Tim Minchin. Tim is a composer, actor, satirist, singer, writer and an all-round extraordinary entertainer. His career skyrocketed when he composed Matilda the Musical, and he’s just released his new album: Tim Minchin Time Machine, ahead of his 2025 Australian Tour ‘Songs The World Will Never Hear’.  Twelve years ago, Tim was awarded an honorary doctorate at the University of WA when he shared his 9 Life Lessons with the graduating class. His speech went viral, with 5.6 million views on YouTube. So, instead of our regular format, we’re mixing things up this Tuesday and releasing a Life Lessons episode featuring the very philosophical Tim.  In this conversation, Tim speaks about becoming a parent, the 30-year relationship he shares with his wife, Sarah, marriage, fidelity, and how they’ve stuck together, amongst all the fame. He opens up about how he’s dealt with public criticism, why he’ll never consume something he’s created, the importance of setting micro ambitions and achievable goals, and why it all comes down to luck.  Head to www.timminchin.com to purchase Tim’s new album and for his tour dates.  Big thanks to La Roche-Posay for supporting this episode of Inherited.

    Tarang Chawla on losing his sister Nikita to domestic violence

    Hello! Today, we speak to Tarang Chawla. Tarang is an Indian-born Australian academic, writer and anti-family violence advocate. In 2015, Tarang’s younger sister Nikita was murdered by her then-husband at the age of just 23. In the years since, Tarang has become one of the country’s leading campaigners for gender equality and advocates for women and children’s safety from family violence. In 2017, he was named a Young Australian of the Year finalist in Victoria and has written across topics including men's violence against women, discrimination, racism, masculinity and human rights. In this conversation, Tarang speaks about migrating to Australia with his parents and the racism he encountered in Kindergarten, and how he felt about the anti-immigration protests that recently took place around Australia. He then opens up about the moment he found out his sister, Nikita, had been murdered by her ex-husband, and how he turned his grief into advocacy work.

    Hannah Ferguson on becoming a public figure

    Today, I speak to Hannah Ferguson, the CEO of Cheek Media Co. Hannah's independent news platform reaches more than two million Australians on Instagram every single month. She’s also the host of the news and pop culture podcast Big Small Talk and the author of Bite Back and Taboo.  In this conversation, Hannah opens up about what it’s like to run a media company with her identity attached to it and how it felt to receive death threats for sharing her political leanings. She also speaks about the power of friendship and how her oldest friends showed up for her at one of her lowest points, the moment she began dating her now-boyfriend, 'Meatball Tony', how her parents' divorce shaped her perception of love and romantic relationships, and the kind of mother she hopes to be one day.
