PHIL JAMIESON IS GOING TO DIEPhil Jamieson has spent the last quarter-century fronting one of Australia's most popular and successful bands. An accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, Jamieson's generation-defining lyrics and vocal melodies first became etched into rock fans' DNA in 1995, when the Lismore-born quartet he helped form as an 18-year-old - Grinspoon - rode a new wave of alternative music to become the first act Unearthed by national youth radio station triple j with its debut single “Sickfest”. So began a love affair that maintained its heat and passion for over one thousand live shows, six consecutive Top 10 debuts and multi-platinum album sales. Phil's also had tackled some incredibly public challenges - including an infamous battle with addiction and an ensuing media frenzy that saw him in deep confessional mode on Andrew Denton's Enough Rope in 2007.  It's perhaps these experiences which have made him more reflective than others when it comes to thinking about death and mortality...though when it comes to planning his dream Funeral, Phil's ready to get the party started.Jamieson's live performance talents have continued to diversify and develop as he has explored new stages and formats. Embracing a solo career, Jamieson also made the transition from live music venues to the boards of theatres around the country in 2017, being cast as St. Jimmy in the Australian stage production of American Idiot. The Broadway musical made an impactful debut with its initial Australian premiere in Brisbane, leading to a national tour in 2018 - a performance that earned Jamieson acclaim: “Phil Jamieson carried the role in Perth, and absolutely nailed it. Jamieson has more of a swagger than an in-your-face psychopathic Jimmy, which I enjoyed more than I expected...whenever Jimmy is on stage, it's difficult to focus on anything else.” - SYN MEDIAJamieson has also been involved in several philanthropic and industry-specific initiatives. Instagram: @PhilJamieson Facebook: PhilJamiesonMusicAs well as spending time in the studio, writing his next solo album, Phil is currently working on the release of Grinspoon's 8th studio album, first new music in 12 years: ‘whatever, whatever' released August 9Also touring Nationally with Grinspoon from September 17 - December 6 on a 45 date album tour.Grinspoon website has tour dates + album info / pre ordershttps://www.instagram.com/grinspoon_band/https://www.facebook.com/GrinspoonFacebook: Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (IG @marieke_hardy).You can follow at IG @GoingToDiePodMusic by Lord Fascinator (IG @lordfascinator)Produced by Darren Scarce (IG @Dazz26)Video edits by Andy Nedelkovski (IG @AndyNeds)Artwork by Lauren Egan (IG @heylaurenegan)Photography by Eamon Leggett (IG @anxietyoptions)With thanks to Amelia Chappelow (IG @ameliachappelow)Camilla McKewen (IG @CamillaLucyLucy)and Rhys Graham (IG @RhysJGraham)Drop an email to mariekehardyisgoingtodie@gmail.comWhilst acknowledging the privilege that comes with having the space to discuss death and mortality, we want to also recognise that discussing these topics can raise some  wounds.

I have a lot of advice to offer, but if I had to condense it into one key point, it would be this: Take action. If you're thinking about starting a business or becoming an entrepreneur, it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of overthinking. We can spend hours reading and watching content on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, accumulating a lot of knowledge that doesn't really become useful because we haven't put it into practice. We might believe we understand it, but the truth is, we likely don't until we apply it. We find ourselves in a place where we want to take action and pursue our entrepreneurial goals, but we hesitate. So, if you're truly committed and this passion runs deep within you, you must take that initial step forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-inventive-journey/message

Australia is one of just a handful of countries around the world that have legislated in favour of euthanasia.  Every Australian state has now legalised voluntary assisted dying – and the territories are expected to follow after the federal government granted them freedom to legislate.  That situation would have been hard to imagine when Andrew Denton first joined the campaign for voluntary assisted dying. Known for his penetrating television interviews, Andrew found a debate where progress had been stymied and the voices of those affected most – the dying – weren't being heard. Today, we revisit our conversation with voluntary assisted dying campaigner Andrew Denton, on how to change a debate, combat misinformation and the voices that really changed the law across Australia.

Misinformation, fear and pain: when Andrew Denton was asked to speak on the topic of euthanasia, he found something that he couldn't look away from. What started as a single lecture became the biggest political fight of his life. And the last year has seen the fruit of those labours, with every state now having laws to allow people the right to choose to end their life when faced with terminal illness. The territories are well on their way to doing the same. Go Gentle Australia, the organisation he founded, helped change the tide of a debate around death that had been paralysed in Australia for decades. Today, Andrew Denton, on the campaign that changed how Australians will experience the end of their lives and the way it's changing the care we receive at the end.

He was a late night current affairs host who famously served a jail sentence for releasing a suppressed name of a pedophile before the courts.  I really wanted to get this opportunity and it was only in the second week of publicity that he showed interest.  15 years later, he and I are still saying the same things.  And I'm still grateful to chat to this Aussie hero!

What do we do, as a society, with people who want to die? We're talking here about those with a terminal illness, who know that the rest of their waking hours will be filled with much pain, and who want to choose when and how to end it. Do we have the right to end our life on our terms, or is life so precious that even we can't extinguish it? And if we do open the door, what are the potential pitfalls? Could it be used against the vulnerable, manipulating those who feel like a burden? And are there other slippery slopes to be wary of which may open the door too wide? What's the most compassionate thing to do, and how does all of this feed into the medical professions' duty of care? There's a lot at stake with legislation going through parliament in countries all around the world. To help us through, we have award-winning writer, performer, and producer Andrew Denton. Andrew has devoted this stage of his career advocating for Voluntary Assisted Dying through his organisation Go Gentle Australia. His two podcast series Better Off Dead have helped inform the debate around end-of-life choices. We also have Bernadette Tobin, a passionate advocate against voluntary euthanasia. Bernadette is director of the Plunkett Centre for Ethics at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and Reader in Philosophy at Australian Catholic University.

Episode 25 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Mark Fennessy. Mark is an entrepreneur, television and film producer. I’ve worked with Mark on a few occasions and he’s become somewhat of a mentor and actually a mate. Had I known the full extent of his achievements, I actually would have been a little intimidated to do this interview, he’s a giant in the world of media, broadcasting and production. Mark started out in 1981 as an Assistant Cameraman in the news department of network 7 in Melbourne, rose quickly through the ranks to become a highly respected producer with Seven and Nine, with dozens of major credits including 4 Olympic Games broadcasts. At 26 Mark Headed up MTV Australia, eventually joining the team at MTV International when it was a global phenomenon. Mark returned to Australia to create Crackerjack with his brother Carl. As a little independent production company, they made a big name for themselves as producers of comedy and trail blazed the new world of unscripted television. Among the slate were Backberner, Comedy Inc, Chaser Non Stop News Network, Jamie’s Kitchen Australia, and the legendary Enough Rope with Andrew Denton. Crackerjack was sold to Fremantle Media in 2003, with Mark taking the reins as CEO and his brother Carl COO. They quickly built a slate of 19 different productions including the very new Australian Idol, Australia’s Got Talent, Newstopia, The Farmer Wants a Wife, The Apprentice, Project Runway, Choir of Hard Knocks, The Biggest Loser and MasterChef. In 2010 Mark & Carl left Fremantle to head up the local affiliate of the Shine Group launched by Elisabeth Murdoch. What followed was a blitzkrieg of TV content with an extraordinary slate tv franchises and super brands including Beauty & The Geek, The Bachelor, Shark Tank and The Voice. During this same period they launched highly successful Dramas including INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, Catching Milat and Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door . Within just 3 years Shine was the No. 1 production company the Southern hemisphere. Following a global merger, Mark and Carl Fennessy agreed to oversee a new company Endemol Shine Australia. What followed is another incredible output of content and hits including: Lambs of God, Mystify, Australian Survivor, Offspring, The Beautiful Lie, Wake in Fright, Gogglebox, Australian Ninja Warrior, Married At First Sight, Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, Blue Murder - Killer Cop. In 2017 Mark was awarded an Order of Australia, recognising him for his significant service to the broadcast industry. He was recently ranked No 1 in the Australian Financial Review’s Cultural List. The brothers Fennessy recently departed Shine after almost 11 years and whilst the world waits to see what these industry trailblazers might do next, Mark is overseeing the highly anticipated scripted series Last King of The X. He also runs a small independent record label in keeping with his passionate and longstanding relationship with the music business. Mark has a relentlessly creative mind, always ticking over with new ideas and possibilities. Combine that with his fierce work ethic and ability to articulate his vision, well, it’s kind of epic! He is a very private family man and this is a rare opportunity to see what makes a man like this tick.

Welcome to a special weekend edition of The Briefing with guest Andrew Denton. Andrew is one of Australia's most loved media identities and after losing his father to a painful death a few years ago he's been Australia's most vocal advocate for assisted dying.  Andrew is passionate about having a choice about how we die and has been working to bring in Assisted Dying Laws so none of us have to go through that. He's travelled the world seeing how the laws work in some of the six other countries that allow it.  Since Andrew has been advocating, Victoria has passed Voluntary Assisted Dying laws and yesterday marked one year since the scheme began.  Today we're joined by Andrew to see how he thinks the laws are working, and if the rest of Australia will follow suit.   How does Andrew think the laws are working?  What is stopping other states in Australia passing these laws? Does he see any cultural changes around this issue? Why he thinks it will be inevitable that the laws will be Australia Wide.   Andrew Denton is the founder and director of Go Gentle Australia https://www.gogentleaustralia.org.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
