The world is beautiful, full of fascinating people, and people I love, and I'm so lost in neurotic thought that I'm missing... most of it. I'm an overexaminer.


Why, when scubadiving in the Great Barrier Reef, instead of drinking in the marine wonders, am I just replaying that time I was picked last in P.E. basketball?


Why, at a close friend's wedding, did I miss half the groom's speech because I was thinking about my crap haircut.


If that sounds like you too, then join me on a quest to discover ways in which we can become more present, more fulfilled and more curious. Through stories, reflections and interviews with the wisest gurus, comedians, musicans, athletes and artists, maybe we can uncover a few secrets about what a life well-lived looks like.

  • Tim Minchin on Reclaiming Our Sense of Meaning

    Tim Minchin on Reclaiming Our Sense of Meaning
    2025/10/07

    My guest today is the brilliant Tim Minchin. You may know him from his Tony and Olivier-winning, Grammy-nominated musical Matilda, his viral song Come Home (Cardinal Pell), or his unforgettable University of Western Australia graduation address.


    Tim is a relentless interrogator of the human condition: a skeptic, a critic of dogma and pseudoscience, and a fierce champion of empiricism and evidence-based thinking, all while being incredibly funny.

    In this conversation, we explore whether you should have grand dreams, the purpose of art, A.I., social media, meaning, mental health, orgasms and much more.

    The book we mentioned, "You Don't Have to Have a Dream" is available here

  • Cancer, Racism and Violence, Through the Eyes of a Buddhist Dzogchen Master - James Low

    Cancer, Racism and Violence, Through the Eyes of a Buddhist Dzogchen Master - James Low
    2025/09/29

    WE ARE BACK BABY! Welcome to Season 2, - and what a guest to start off with. We talked about some heavy stuff, but through the lens of buddhism. Like how does a buddhist see racism, the israel-palestine conflict, happiness, what James' own ongoing struggle with cancer looks like, through the eyes of one who is if not enlightened, pretty enlightenedish. Enjoy.


    Our Guest


    James Low was born in Scotland, but his spirit was forged in Himalayan crags and Indian monasteries under great buddhist maasters. James wove together his understanding of Western thought and Eastern ritual — psychology, philosophy, psychotherapy — into his teachings, and has become one of the most renowned voices in making Dzogchen and mindfulness intelligible to us overexaminers and chronic sufferers.

    GAME: Is the quote from a spiritual leader or a criminal psychopath?

    It’s a wild ride through the blurred lines between enlightenment and delusion. You won't get full marks.
