The Chris Endrey Podcast
Compelling conversations, weekly. Chris Endrey is fascinated by all that humanity has to offer and wants to celebrate and interrogate it. This is a space to explore the forces that truly shape and define our lives with shared experience, generous thinking, curiosity, warm exchanges and the constant pursuit of truth as a magnetic north. You are just as likely to hear from a physicist, an historian, a harpist, a mercenary or a florist in any given week. We all have our own incredible vantage point to this world, and we are all enriched by better understanding each other.
Episodes
If you're concerned about the wealth and power of 'the 1%' now, it's possible that in just five years you will be nostalgic for the relative equality of 2025.
This episode explores the themes of the coming hyper-wealth concentration driven by a new round of tech oligarchy, and its implications for the future of work and the shape of our societies.
Ultimately, in a time where the hyper-concentration of wealth will cha...
How different would our lives be if we were able to be honest with each other about all things at all times?
Chris explores some of the common lies we tell and the consequences they can have on our lives, relationships, and society.
By touring through some anecdotes and classic examples, we see how quickly small lies can accumulate and lead to problems far greater than those that the lies were designed to protect against.
The price i...
Join Chris Endrey for a deep dive into the phenomenon of "brain rot," Oxford's 2024 Word of the Year, exploring how our obsession with phones, infinite scrolling, and short-form content is reshaping our brains, attention spans, lives and maybe civilisation.
Backed by studies from Stanford, Harvard, and a dangerous wealth of personal experience, Chris examines the cognitive and social consequences of constant digital c...
In this episode, Chris fulfils a listener request (sort of) by diving into various economic concepts and their implications on personal decision-making and societal structures.
Sexy!

Israel has struck Iran with a wave of assassinations and missiles and Iran has responded by launching barrages of missiles upon Israeli cities.
What exactly is happening and where is the conflict likely to go? Will the US become involved? How will Russia and China respond, and how close are we to seeing a nuclear exchange?

What if we never have another scientific breakthrough again?
It's a dramatic question designed to keep you reading and not at all likely - but it does get to the sexy heart of the unsexy question for this week's episode - are we going about science the wrong way?
The tools we use, the incentive systems we build, and the limits of the discipline itself all shape how effectively we can come up with new scientific discoveries. W...
What are you wrong about?
With so much of the world unknown and perhaps unknowable, pretending to understand too much inevitably leads to a brittle collapse when we eventually find out that we have been wrong all along.
In this episode, Chris explores our reticence to change our minds and reflects upon instances in life where he has had significant pivots in thinking.
From shifts in worldview to deeply personal life choices, having t...
In this episode of The Chris Endrey Podcast, we dig into the world of Australian democracy during a curiously lacklustre election season.
Why does our political discourse feel so bland when there’s so much at stake? The never-ending housing crisis, rising global conflict, and dynamic tech revolutions all framing declining wellbeing in one of the richest societies in world history?
Chris unpacks the gap between what democracy could b...
Can creative writing be pleasurable without being redemptive?
This week's episode is a conversation with writer and academic Dr Georgie Harriss, who has somehow gone from receiving rubbish from the set of Real Housewives of Melbourne to writing comedy scripts, plays, and researching trauma and queer narrative theory. These are fun viewpoints of the world that most of us don’t get to see at all, let alone in combination.

In this solo episode, Chris outlines the world he's trying to frame here by exploring the themes and ideas that he keeps coming back to in life.
From a desire to platform unheard voices, uncovering the silent evidence that is so often ignored by popular public discourse, and a deep interest in interrogating how we live, create, and structure our society.
Over time this will be a place to hear from public figures on unexpected an...
Chris Endrey and Dom Northcott explore the unspoken rules of public discourse in Australia, from the stifling norms around disagreement to the structural barriers that shape political and media narratives. They contrast this with cultures that embrace open debate, reflecting on the impact this has on creativity, social progress, and personal expression.
The conversation also delves into what it means to navigate the world as a highl...
From Camp to Stage: The Journey of FARMACY (Eurobaeddies)
In this episode, Chris is joined by songwriters and music producers Neli Jerot and Tina Malmstrøm to unpack their whirlwind experience at a Eurovision songwriting camp in Norway, where they formed the group FARMACY and co-wrote a song they submitted for Eurovision.

At just 15 years old, Lucy Sugerman first captivated millions of Australians when she won a place as a finalist on the sixth series of The Voice Australia, after being chosen during her initial audition by Kelly Rowland, Seal and Boy George, and receiving coaching from Seal throughout the series. Audiences were charmed by her precocious talents as a performer, and her presence as a gracious and intelligent young woman. Lucy is now ...

Worse, they often feel annoying.So, what are the t...
