This episode I dive into the best games (some of which you may not have heard of) that we have found during the pandemic to give a re-frame to the seeming monopoly of Monopoly.

In this chat we dive into all sorts of topics from why change is hard, bullying, schools, shame and how aggression is often a response to fear.

When Shane Drury and his family rented out their home to go travelling for a year COVID hit, forcing them to get creative about where they live. As Shane will describe, this turn of events and thinking 'inside' the box has had benefits for him and his family far beyond the obvious.

This episode I chat with veteran journalist, writer and dad of 6, Mark Tamhane, who writes about his experiences and what has worked in his family.

This episode I chat with Alfie Kohn who is an American author and lecturer in the areas of education, parenting, and human behavior. He is a massive proponent of progressive education and has offered critiques of many traditional aspects of parenting, managing, and society more generally, drawing in each case from social science research. I can’t emphasise enough how helpful Alfie's ideas have been for me as a parent and I hope you thoroughly enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Award winning journalist, broadcaster, and author Marc Fennell is known for hosting SBS's The Feed and his one-on-one interviews with newsmakers such as Al Gore and Tom Cruise. In this conversation we discuss the up-coming TV series The School That Tried To End Racism, hosted by Marc, which is a ground-breaking pilot program designed to provide school children with the tools to identify racial bias and make positive change. It’s a really, really inspiring show and if it works the way I hope it will, it could make a big difference in not only how our children’s generation view racism, but also provide us as parents a great vehicle to discuss this complex topic with our kids.
