Once a popular social media platform for celebrities, politicians and journalists, Twitter – or X as it has been renamed – has seen its followers and advertisers leaving in droves. Among those leaving are media organisations such as NPR, PBS and, most recently, Australia's ABC, highlighting the transformation under way for digital journalism internationally.

Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and the voice of the Slow Movement. His two main-stage TED Talks have been viewed millions of times. His TED Course is entitled How to slow down. Carl travels the world to deliver powerful keynotes that put time and tempo in a whole new light. His counter-intuitive message is simple but game-changing: To thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.  Carl's first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism.” Carl's second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.”  Carl's third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes. Carl's latest book, Bolder: Making The Most Of Our Longer Lives, explores ageing – how we can do it better and feel better about doing it. It's a spirited manifesto against ageism. Carl recently published his first children's book: It's The Journey, Not The Destination. Published in 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina's version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers' Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. Bolder was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Reader's Digest (UK) Book of the Month.

Ageing is seen, especially in our western cultures, it is seen as something to be ashamed of, to feel guilty of, to be disgusted by… to deny.” (Carl) “One of my bugbears is the phrase… showing my age. We should be showing off our age” (Carl) ‘When you don't know people of different ages, into that space rush all the grim toxic stereotypes about ageing. What they do find is that as soon as you start breaking down the silos and mixing people up that the stereotypes start to fall away.” (Carl) “Before writing ‘Bolder' I was a full card carrying member of the cult of youth. I never would have given my age. I would have low-balled it. I just felt awful about the whole idea of growing older and would have pushed it away. Now I feel genuinely at ease with it.” (Carl) “My metaphor for ageing is a gaming analogy. I think of each year as a level in a game. Right now I'm at level 55. I'm enjoying level 55 to the hilt. I'm gathering as much treasure as I can have. I'm enjoying all the adventures.” (Carl) “Every age has its pros and cons. Every age can be glorious and wonderful but only if we embrace it.” (Carl) Links Carl Honore (Guest) Instagram: @carlhonore Instagram: @carlhonore Twitter: @carlhonore YouTube:@carlhonore Facebook: @carlhonore and @carlhonorepage LinkedIn: @carlhonore Pinterest: @carlhonore TED Talk 1: Slow TED Talk 2: Age TED Course: How to slow down   David Pearl (Host) Web: https://www.davidpearl.net Twitter: @davidpearlhere Instagram: davidpearl_here   Andrew Paine (Producer & Audio Engineer) Twitter: @ItPainesMe   Anthony Ingle (Piano) Website: https://impropera.co.uk Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-ingle-3339a915/   Fiona Finsbury (Opera Singer & Actor) Instagram: @fionafinsbury   Genevieve Tawiah (Performance & Vocal Physiotherapist / Dancer) Instagram: @tawiahphysio

Australians go to the polls to vote for their next federal government in six weeks, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirming that the election will be held on May 21. The campaign pits Morrison's Liberal-National Coalition against a Labor Party led by Anthony Albanese. Morrison is putting the economy at centre stage. Albanese says Morrison's coalition government has not earned a fourth term in office. In the current House of Representatives, the coalition has 77 seats and Labor 68. The polls are suggesting a possible Labor win, but the polls suggested that last time, too. Australia's ABC political reporter Matthew Doran spoke to Corin Dann.

Carl Honroé, the godfather of the slow movement, discussed slowing down in a way that brings home to us just how mindlessly we have been living and how deeply it can impact our health, happiness, and wellbeing. The hustle culture will have us believe that happiness hinges on success and competition, purpose means pursuit of social accolades, and living your passion necessitates late nights and a relentless pace - we question all that and more in this episode. Slow living gives us the space to examine our priorities and what our 'happy' really looks like. We learn about helping our kids grow up with better values, normalise boredom for their benefit, and encourage them to prioritise their wellbeing and cultivate a value system that supports healthy living. I especially appreciated the narrative that Carl creates around the benefits of slowing down so that instead of looking at it as something that can potentially derail our professional or social growth plans as most of us do, we appreciate the benefits of slow living.  Carl Honroe is a bestselling author, broadcaster, and two-time TED speaker. He is also the voice of the Slow Movement. He has published four books, and his latest book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Aging, is a spirited manifesto against ageism. Published in 35 languages, Carl has landed on bestseller lists in many countries. Carl has been featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia's ABC 1.  We discuss-  Why Carl chose to focus on the slow movement The downside of the pace we maintain and the benefits of more deliberate living  How do we talk ourselves past the fear of slowing down Bad Slow vs Good Slow Building better relationships with our digital devices Normalising boredom for the kids we are raising  As kids reach an age where they start to get competitive about their performance (academic, extra-curricular, and social), how do we help them cultivate the right value system and prioritise their health and wellbeing Rituals that can help + practical steps we can take to slow down a busy life (addressing people who have no other choice but to keep going all day long) Carl's favourite meditation/mindfulness practice Resources mentioned during the episode- Carl's Website- http://www.carlhonore.com/ Carl's Ted Talks and other content - https://linktr.ee/carlhonore Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mehra_krati For more information, visit - https://www.kratimehra.com/

We found a lot to laugh about in this show about 30-something actors playing first year university students in Melbourne. Whether or not that's part of the joke, there's plenty of relatable comedy in this accessible sitcom from Australia's ABC (it's also available on CBC Gem in Canada and the Comedy Central app in the US). We have lengthy discussions about how the show does and doesn't address racism, and see a little too much of ourselves in the Post-Grad Student character. What did we do to you, Ronny Chieng?!Wanna connect with the show?

PUTTING THE CHILD BACK IN CHILDHOOD is an interview with Carl Honoré, a bestselling author, broadcaster and the global voice of the 'Slow Movement'. His two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views. Could it be that the immense pressures we've been putting on our children to ‘succeed in life' are often the cause for mental disorders like ADHD? Could it be that simply slowing down in life and putting more value on calm, focus, energy, connection, purpose creativity and pleasure could make the symptoms of ADHD dissolve over time? Well, those are exactly the kinds of questions Carl and I discussed during this recording. Carl's first book, 'In Praise of Slow', chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what 'Das Kapital' is to communism.” Carl's second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.” Carl's third book, 'The Slow Fix', explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes. Carl's latest book, 'Bolder: Making The Most Of Our Longer Lives', explores aging – how we can do it better and feel better about doing it. It's also a spirited manifesto against ageism. Published in 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina's version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers' Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. Bolder was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Reader's Digest (UK) Book of the Month. Carl fronted a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia's ABC 1. Carl is an advisor to Jack Media, which makes messaging apps, and sits on the Board of Trustees of Hewitt School in New York City. Carl lives in London.

Mark McDonald, M.D. on The New Focus for Children to be Vaccinated. We need no further proof that our governments and their public health authorities have turned science on its head and are promoting policies that are detrimental to their citizens. Consistent with the rush to vaccinate the entire population against Covid19, regardless of the low risk of death, the focus has now turned to the vaccination of young children. In Australia, the public broadcasting authority, the ABC, is placing messages about the vaccines in children's programs. Why is this being done when Children are at low risk of infection, and when many medical experts, are warning that on available evidence and science, the Covid mRNA products are unnecessary and even unsafe? Dr Mark McDonald has a practice in Los Angeles and is a frequent media commentator. He is board-certified in both child & adolescent and adult psychiatry, with extensive additional training in adult psychoanalysis. Dr. McDonald specialises in the evaluation and treatment of young people with mental illness and over the past decade of post-graduate training, has supervised and taught medical students, residents, and fellows in multiple disciplines of medicine, psychiatry, and therapy.

"Let's walk with empathy. We're all born with something; we all have to face some struggle...understanding that. We have to journey down something and it's not always going to be peachy. I am very grateful for my upbringing...instead of getting caught up with labels and identifications, just keep with who you are." - Zaynab Wilson   Zaynab Wilson is a Canadian-Trinidadian globe-trotting multi-instrumentalist, who openly embraces her creative and personal expansion through her dynamic style and passionate expression. She transmutes the raw material of her experiences and voice into songs that “quietens your spirit”.  With a diverse musical input ranging from Bob Marley to Norah Jones, Esperanza Spalding and Billie Holiday, Zaynab's output flows with elements of improvisation influenced by Jazz, Soul, R&B and Afro-Caribbean. Born into a steel pan playing family band based in Montréal, music and sound flowed with diversity throughout the family home giving Zaynab rich cultural and musical roots to explore. In 2014, she earned a Bachelor of Music on drums from Humber College then continued with her musical dynamism through debuting her own project, MoZayic, and in supportive percussive roles with Jason Wilson, Alysha Brilla and other local and international projects.

I was living in a house with three other guys, with no internet, in the middle of nowhere, the four of us in our early twenties. It was one of the most boring years of my life, but I think that just made the highlights even higher. It's a memory I often associate with a summer's day, and with the weather so good right now, it comes to mind. Also, there's something quintessentially British about it, which also makes me nostalgic as I left the UK many years ago." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created during a time of quarantine in the global Coronavirus pandemic, A Moment Of Your Time's mission is to provide a space for expression, collaboration, community and solidarity.

As Cameron Wilson writes, there's now a push by some Australian hunters to change their reputation. http://www.abc.net.au   Thank you to the ABC - Bush Telegraph for letting us air this interview!!
