Luke and Susie Podcast

Charlie Eggins, the Rubik's Cube maestro, has just shattered not only records but also our perception of what is humanly possible! Susie had the pleasure of chatting with this puzzle prodigy after he achieved the unthinkable at the Australian Nationals in Moreton Bay in September 2023. Move over Spider-Man, because Charlie here can solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded faster than you can say "web-slinging superhero!" With a mind-blowing time of 12.10 seconds, he has officially secured the World Record single for blindfolded cubing. Did I mention he did it with his eyes closed? Or covered at least. Charlie's talents extend far beyond his impressive solving skills. He's also a YouTube sensation, where you can find him posting videos that are equal parts educational, inspiring, and as addictive as a Rubik's Cube itself. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned speedcuber, Charlie's channel is the place to be if you want to embark on or continue your speedcubing journey. If you're curious for more details on Charlie's remarkable achievements, be sure to check out his WCA profile under the code 2019EGGI02. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. This guy is the real deal, the Rubik's Cube wizard we never knew we needed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People have said to me when describing their situation, oh sorry I know your is so much worse! Mine IS pretty dramatic. Major life changes that should have been celebrations – which turned to heart attack, infidelity, and suicide? Yes, it was debilitating.  It was A LOT. But is it any different from anyone else?    As  people would tell me their issues, they always felt bad and would say I know it's not as bad as what happened to you! But I don't agree. Whatever you're going through is what you're going through right? It's all relative. Mine is the same as yours, and yours is the same as his, and hers. Grief is grief in my book. No hierarchy, no comparisons.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Melissa Doyle is an award-winning journalist with more than thirty years' experience. She is one of the most well-known and trusted people in the Australian media. As co-host of Channel 7's Sunrise she covered significant events. In this intimate and insightful book, Melissa Doyle shares the stories of some of the most resilient people she has ever met, gently drawing out their wisdom, empathy and heartfelt practical advice for anyone who's going through a difficult time. While lockdowns and closed borders damaged livelihoods, relationships and the nation's mental health, Melissa found herself reflecting on some of the survivors she'd met during her years reporting from the front lines of triumph and tragedy. Surely these people had clues on how to navigate grief and anxiety?Revisiting these stories with such extraordinary people, Melissa was struck once more by their hard-won wisdom and their ability not just to survive but to find meaning in their experiences. Having faced the worst that life could throw at them, from childhood trauma to a freak accident to betrayal of the cruellest kind, they now explain how hope can prevail and we can all, as one remarkable little boy put it, find our ‘fifteen seconds of brave'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zero Co began as an idea, dreamed up by an unemployed bloke in need of a shave, a shower and a good hard look in the mirror. That blokes name is Mike Smith (yep that's his actual name). This is the story of how Mike (along with Alyssa, Kate and Alana) brought Zero Co into the world.Mike, Alyssa and Kate went to Indonesia for Zero Co's 1st ocean clean-up where 6,000kgs of plastic was pulled from the Java Sea off the coast of Jakarta to be made into Zero Co dispensers.Now Zero Co has launched their most epic idea yet...Oceans 21! 21 million tonnes of plastic flows into our oceans every year. That's one truck of garbage every single minute. Single-use plastic is the main culprit. So the aim is to pull 21 tonnes of ocean bound plastic from Aussie oceans so we can turn it into our forever bottles! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did the skateboard go from a menacing fad to an Olympic sport?Writer and skateboarder Jonathan Russell Clark answers this question by going straight to the sources.From California beaches to Tokyo 2020, the skateboard has outlasted its critics to form a global community of creativity, camaraderie, and unceasing progression.Skateboarders are their own historians, which means the real history of skating exists not in archives or texts but in a hodgepodge of random and iconic videos, tattered photographs, and, mostly, in the blurry memories of the people who lived through it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
