What it is, how it manifests, when it starts and when it s...

In this episode of your third favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT…

I'm digging into isolation and detachment, earnest intentions, and significant changes.

Changes that I need to make for my own sake.

Changes that can help break me out of an insular way of life.

And changes that I find myself navigating, like a new job...in public radio.

Alright gang, in our season finale we’re asking “can a man live on completion prizes alone?”

The year is 1998. The place is Japan.

An aspiring comedian by the name of Nasubi auditions to be on Denpa Shonen’s new TV show with the hopes of breaking into showbiz.

Selected as the sole contestant, Nasubi is then taken to a small apartment, stripped naked and told that everything he needs to survive from this point on, must be won via ma...

Alright gang, this week we’re finally getting round to tackling Timothy Leary.

A Psychologist. An advocate for Psychedelics and free thinking. A provocateur and a counterculture icon.

But rather than dive into a biographical exploration of Leary, in this episode we’re going to...

Alright gang, on this weeks podcast episode I’m joined by the truly inspirational Dr Kevin Payne. From being terrified of his own body to revelling in the perspective found in the church of altitude, Kevin’s story is really quite remarkable. After years of suffering from multiple sclerosis. Enduring personal loss. Trauma and emotional depletion, he gave himself one last chance. After using his academic background to rebuild hims...
