    Episode 6: Balancing Our Online and Offline Lives

    21st century life is hectic and many of us have become slaves to our digital devices, often spending our days moving from screen to screen, constantly bombarded by information. For some, smartphones and devices have become a social crutch that provides us with constant entertainment.



    Corinne questions whether this may have had an impact on our creativity. Speaking to artist Nina Katchadourian, photographer Antoine Geiger and founder of Consciously Digital, Anastasia Dedyukhina, Corinne explores how we can effectively juggle our online and offline lives in this increasingly distracted digital world.

    Episode 5: Can Music Save Lives?

    Music is a universal language and an emotional channel for many people. In recent years, it’s also been recognised for its extraordinary healing effects when used as a therapeutic tool.



    In this episode, Corinne is joined by the inspiring Blues musician Ian “Fast Fret” Campbell as he shares the remarkable story of how music helped him recover after a near fatal car accident left him unable to use one side of his body and play his beloved guitar.

    Episode 2: When Should You Trust Your Instincts?

    With the help of philosopher Brennan Jacoby, Corinne examines how hardwired human behaviour is. How do we know when to trust our instincts?



    Author and public speaker, Scott Ginsberg, calls in to discuss how a name-tag based social experiment he’s been conducting for over a decade has helped him fine tune his own instincts and intuition.
