December 29, 2018 22:00 - 1 hour - 41.2 MBAs humans… we do some questionable stuff that leaves us thinking why did we do that?

I tell you what, if my lottery ticket was a winner, I’d be straight to Bunnings, buying some glue and fixing that shattered ceramic right up. Jokes, I’d buy a new Chris so he wouldn’t break shit anymore. I’m kidding of course. But when you win millions of dollars and become so filthy rich, you can make any kind of joke you want, right? Amongst the excitem...
Episode #19 - Who's Getting Married!?!?
December 08, 2018 00:00 - 54 minutes - 25.2 MBHave you ever seen ‘The Wedding Singer’, starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler? I used to watch that shit all the time as a kid. I mean, that soundtrack, right!? Not to mention it was classic Sandler, not shitty outdated Sandler (things really went south in the years following). I’ve only now realised how meta the 98 comedy flick was; a romantic film about weddings. A romanticising of the romantic. But what kind of effect does idealising tropes and statistically unsustainable institut...

December 02, 2018 06:00 - 50 minutes - 23.1 MBThere are three things in this world that insight an equal sense of structural confidence: 1. The Hindenburg. 2.

Episode #14 - Movember
November 03, 2018 13:00 - 52 minutes - 23.9 MBNfm muhfnm… Mhmf fmuhmu muf mmnm… Hmnm um nuhmunuh mfm nfm muh… My apologies but through the bushy whiskers of the ‘Sorting It Out Crew’s upper lip, from time to time words can get pretty muffled and muddled. That’s right fam, Movember is upon us. Which means it’s time to support men’s health issues and raise funds and awareness of mental illness, suicide as well as testicular and prostate cancer. With the state of men’s health in crisis, episode #14 discusses the importance of donat...

Because this weeks episode is lucky enough to be blessed with the angelic presence and voice of Ashleigh Fisher...
Episode #12 - The Evolution of Media
October 20, 2018 13:00 - 51 minutes - 23.9 MBDid you see the news?! Video killed the radio star! If I were you TV, I’d change my name, skip town and live out the rest of my days hiding inside a log cabin in some remote wilderness, because Social Media is growing bolder and more popular every day… and I hear it’s piiiisssssed. Ok, that’s a little dark. But greater access to countless personalities and content far from the studio lights of mid-day soap operas and infomercials seemingly feels like the way of the future. Just what exact...
Episode # 11 - Our Fragile Masculinity
October 13, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 28.8 MBStop crying! Eat some concrete! What are you? A girl or something? It’s time to ‘man up’!... or woman up… or human up?... ehh…?? Look, we don’t really no all the answers, but we know as much that using gender norms to demean or put down others doesn’t feel right, and it isn’t. People should have the freedom to act and feel however they want and be able to identify with either or no gender. But from Barbie’s for girls and blue for boys, just how much of what we enable or embody perpetuates ...
Episode #10 - High School & Beyond
October 06, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 28.7 MB“Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!”, or maybe just find a way of educating kids outside of metaphorically turning them into materials for the building of supports and structures (Props to the immortal Pink Floyd). Honestly though, amongst the exams, useless curriculum unrelated to real life and the expectation of further higher education, where can teachers ever make the time to sit down and ask individuals, seriously,… what is fulfilling to you? Where are the ‘Life Admin: 101’s? The ‘H...
Episode # 9 - R U OK?
September 29, 2018 14:00 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MBWe need time to be honest with ourselves. Because no matter what the situation, the reality is that not every moment in life can be a happy one. But that’s ok. This week, the podcast finds itself in Dharawal country, far from Melbourne, on the South Coast of NSW. Returning home in this case comes with mixed emotions however, and the ‘Sorting It Out Podcast’ draws a deep breath of self-reflection and asks… R U OK? From the burdens of stressful careers to facing the loss of loved ones, Tom an...
Episode #8 - Porn & Masturbation
September 22, 2018 14:00 - 52 minutes - 24.1 MBLock the doors, get comfortable and you do you (in more ways than one) because it’s the ‘Time Of The Season’ and a little self-love is the talk of the town. Everyone in their own way does it, yet nobody talks about it; why is the topic considered so faux pas? Masturbation... masturbation, folks. We should be able to discuss all aspects of human sexuality in a positive, funny and lighthearted way. This week the ‘Sorting It Out Podcast’ strips bare and explores the use of erotica, imagination ...
Episode #7 - Should We Be Suss On Charity?
September 15, 2018 14:00 - 55 minutes - 25.5 MBWe can always be donating more, whether it be time or money, towards charity, social business or personal volunteering. But where does the buck stop? Where does it begin? And more importantly, how is that buck most efficiently spent? From misleading door to door sales peoples to the pitfalls and perceived selfishness of big business, the ‘Sorting It Out Podcast’ crew share their own two cents on charity and the sociocultural issues surrounding helping others. Let’s be reasonable though ...
Episode #6 - The Power of Music
September 08, 2018 14:00 - 54 minutes - 25.2 MBGrab those headphones, pull out that old mixtape and dust off that instrument that hasn’t had play since way back when, because we’re getting the band back together… so to speak… or sing? Whether or not you’re fronting a band or playing your favourite tunes at the back of the bus, we all take part in the power of music. Without realising, we find musical outlets so essential to who we are; those large scale festivals are just as important to musical diets as regular radio spots or streaming ...
Episode #5 - The Australian Dream
September 01, 2018 14:00 - 56 minutes - 25.9 MBLots of plum trees… sheep or two, kangaroo …. clothesline out the back, verandah out the front and that old Australian dream. Or simply a pursuit that could take up 40 years of your life? Fulfilling the “Australian dream” of owning a house seems more and more difficult in the current economic climate.

Episode #4 - All Things Drinking
August 25, 2018 14:00 - 57 minutes - 26.2 MBIt’s time to crack open a bottle of self-reflection and ask the big question… ‘what impact is alcohol consumption having on our lives?’. This week the boys dive into all things grog and drinking culture in Australia and abroad, ironically whilst having a couple themselves. Tom, Chris, Caine and Jacob share their own experiences with intoxication, the stigma of beverage preference, and how we all make choices around alcohol; to be designated driver; to not have that extra shot or to simply l...
Episode #3 - The Importance of Friendship
August 20, 2018 14:00 - 53 minutes - 24.7 MBThis week, the Sorting It Out boys get soppy (real soppy), as they discuss the ins and outs of friendships and share the profound appreciation they have for each other and the close friends and family in their lives. When comparing what we value (e.g. family, friends and relationships), to what we spend our time on (e.g. smart phone apps, work and watching tv), there is a clear disparity in our actions vs. our ideals. For some of us, the time we spend with once close friends and family from...
