    I love this podcast. Sarah and Sam are delightful and refreshing. I listen every week and every time I finish listening to an episode I can't wait for the next one to be released.

  • Why only 2 visible reviews?

    The only “good” review is from a person who admitted they haven’t even listened to the podcast. Weird. What is going on here???

  • Really? Obviously people are trying to lower the star rating.

    Haven’t listened yet, looks authentic. Some haters are obviously trying to bring it down with that many 1 star ratings. Looks like they take the time to deliver, will listen and change if needed, felt like the effort deserved better than all the 1 stars it’s getting. Competition must be hating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Wonderful World of a Weirdo | with Yael Stone
Q: How do you keep a thick skin whilst at the same time it remaining thin? Feeling all the feelings and bearing your soul.
Stone describes rejection in both acting auditions and climate grant applications. She reminds herself that each rejection brings her one step closer to the next yes, while continuing to feel and stay open.
The Wonderful World of a Weirdo | with Yael Stone
Q: Can you please talk to us about what you're doing in terms of changing people's lives for climate?
Stone says Hi Neighbour supports regional communities hosting large renewable energy projects through scholarships, training information and help preparing for jobs, so residents can benefit from the energy transition and stay in their towns.
Stop Sweating The Small Stuff | with Matt Day
Q: Is there a moment in your life where you've hit rock bottom and you've had to crack on with life, find a way to crack on with life?
Day describes giving up drinking before reaching rock bottom and, during a period without work, taking a long walk on Scotland's West Highland Way that helped him reset and explore photography and filmmaking.
Stop Sweating The Small Stuff | with Matt Day
Q: Does that make you think differently or want to live any differently?
Day says time passing has made him more focused on living in the moment, grateful for what he has, and less attached to ambitions whose outcomes are often beyond his control.
The Truth About Couple Goals | with Cameron Daddo
Q: What is around the corner for you, Cameron, or what do you hope is around the corner for your career and life?
Looking ahead to Australian dramas and mini-series, with a desire to write and perhaps act, while continuing to pursue writing projects with Allie and finishing unfinished screenplays.
