Damien Cave, author of "Parenting Like an Australian" joins us to explore the profound impact of risk, fear, and courage on parenting. Damien challenges the perfectionist culture in America that demands excellence in everything. He shares how Australians embrace the comfort of being bad at things and don't fear failure. We discuss the idea that parents don't always need complete control over their children and that kids can thrive even when they experience fear. Throughout our conversation, we dive into the power of modeling failure and resilience to our kids. Damien emphasizes the need to balance safety with taking risks and seeking personal growth. Nature plays a significant role in this process, teaching us to deal with uncertainty and providing a space for fun, growth, and self-discovery. The overemphasis on safety in our society and how it can hinder personal growth and development. Join us as we unravel the influence of risk, fear, and courage on parenting. Discover how embracing challenges and finding the right balance between safety and risk can lead to personal growth, resilience, and a deeper connection with nature. Get ready to be inspired by Damien Cave's insights on creating a fulfilling and fearless parenting journey.

Despite previously working as a war correspondent, when New York Times journalist Damien Cave moved to Australia from the US, he was shocked by the Aussie approach to risk taking. Our national loves of nippers & surfing turned what his own country had taught him about risk & how it should be managed on its head. He says it's changed not only his life but his family's too & he's since written a book about it. Today, we're exploring how changing the way you think about risk can change your life, broaden your horizons & help raise more resilient children & communities.

New York Times Australian Bureau Chief Damien Cave on learning to live like an Australian. --- Damien Cave has been the New York Times Australian Bureau chief in Australia since 2017. In that time he has thrown himself into life here, embracing (and being embraced by) the Surf Life Saving community and all the vulnerability and humility required to do that. He says he has learnt extremely important life lessons he didn't know he needed and has come to love and appreciate his adopted home. With a journalist's sharp eye, Cave analyses Australia's attitude to risk, community and identity and finds some insights that he says have made his life immeasurably better. This is not the voice of an idealistic tourist, but someone who, by immersing himself in the Australian way of life, has come to recognise its strengths and shortcomings and ultimately, what makes it special.   Here Cave speaks to Life & Faith about risk, community, vulnerability and humility. --- Book: Into the Rip: How the Australian way of risk made my family stronger, happier … and less American

"We need risk in our lives to be healthy humans. And we need it in part because it forces us to be more humble and it forces us to work with others." Damien Cave has reported from war zones and natural disasters, but when he moved to Sydney to become the Australian bureau chief for The New York Times he had to learn how to confront a surprising new set of challenges. It's made Damien consider his own openness on risk and in the Drawing Room, he explores how fear and failure has changed his perspective on the world.

Typical disaster journalism follows a transactional track. Survivors give the press their stories to package and sell. In turn, the media validates the horror and solicits aid. But when Tonga faced a volcanic eruption and tsunami earlier this month, the island nation neither wanted nor needed Western coverage. In fact, our intrusion presented more of a threat than the crisis itself. On this week's Kicker, Damien Cave, the New York Times bureau chief in Sydney, Australia, and Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, discuss the island's dismissal of the global press, and the Western media's boundless assumption that we can help.

Working as a war correspondent in Baghdad, or covering drug cartels in Mexico City, could not prepare New York Times Australia Bureau chief Damien Cave for the fear he would face when he moved to Sydney. Water. He says learning to swim in the ocean and watching his kids in surf rescue programmes helped him let go of American obsession with safety and dive into the 'give it a go' culture in our part of the world. He shares what he's learned about building courage, connection and at Sydney's Bronte Beach.

Damien Cave and his wife Diana moved to Sydney from New York with their two young children in 2017. As a foreign correspondent he has lived in Baghdad and together they have raised their babies in Mexico City. But it was the Australian ocean and Nippers in particular that was to throw Damien and his family a huge curve ball.Damien is the chief of the New York Times' Australian bureau and his book Into the Rip explores the value of risk, including what he and his family learnt from Australian parents.

Damien Cave (pictured) came to Sydney four years ago to set up a news bureau for The New York Times, the first it has had in Australia since the Second World War. Damien talks about the coverage of the climate crisis in Australia, how his new home is something of a "canary in the coalmine" for climate change, the challenges of dealing with what is the most secretive democracy in the developed world and how his newspaper will take its "Climate Hub" to Glasgow in November. Since arriving in Australia with his young family, Damien has discovered much about the local attitude to risk and the "stark differences" between what he has experienced here and the culture of his American home. The differences were so great that he wrote about in his just-published book: "Into the Rip: How the Australian Way of Risk Made My Family Stronger, Happier ... and Less American".

New York Times journalist Damien Cave thought running the Australian bureau would be a chance to kick back, but this country challenged him in ways he could never have imagined and in episode 3 of The Fitzroy Diaries a strange feeling when two old friends re-unite.

Having worked in Afghanistan and Mexico, Damien Cave thought he understood something about the subject of risk. When he brought his young family to Australia to set up the New York Times' Australian bureau he was unexpectedly confronted with an entirely new approach to managing risk. Instead of being eliminated or romanticised he found a culture that respected and even embraced the idea. Following extensive research and interviews, Damien began asking himself critical questions about the American approach to risk he was familiar with. Into the Rip explores the idea that a managed exposure to risk where communities undertaken that responsibility together, has the potential to build true self-confidence and a clearer pathway to happiness and fulfilment. In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Damien Cave about communal parenting, the Australian institution of Nippers and surf life-saving, the dangers of the self-esteem movement, and overcoming fear in his pursuit of the Bronze Medallion.

2020 will likely be viewed by future historians as a watershed in US history. The coronavirus crisis, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the deeply polarised Presidential election campaign have all laid bare inequalities and dysfunction in health, social security, and law enforcement systems. But with disruption and chaos comes space for renewal, reform, and change. How has a world-leader found itself in this desperate state, what is the historical and cultural background that we need to make sense of it all, and what is next for the USA? Historian, academic and New Yorker staff writer, Jill Lepore, joins New York Times Australian bureau chief Damien Cave for a discussion that attempts to anchor this cultural moment in historical context, explore deeper meanings of current events, and ask: does the fight for racial equality, eradication of police violence, and reform of unjust systems truly mean the end of America as we know it? This electric post-election session recorded at Antidote 2020 examines what might well be a new world order.

The global pandemic has revealed just how fragile our global supply chains are. This is something we’ve talked about a lot at Strong Towns—see here, here, here, here, and here—but of course the disruptions aren’t only being experienced in the United States. Damien Cave starts his excellent New York Times article, “What if Local and Diverse is Better than Networked and Global?,” at a farmers’ market in New South Wales, Australia. “We’ve just been shown how fragile and not resilient it all is,” Andrew Cameron, a cattle rancher selling grass-fed meat at the market, said of the broken supply chains. “Our resilience now comes from local producers.” Cave’s article is actually a profile of Helena Norberg-Hodge, the founder of Local Futures and an important advocate for localism since the 1970s. Norberg-Hodge has seen firsthand how globalization is decimating more traditional cultures, as in the Indian village of Ladakh. Cave writes: “The path to ‘development’ for Ladakhis meant ending centuries of self-reliance, where they found everything they needed around them, except salt, which they traded for. It also meant accepting policies that favored choices they would not have made on their own.” Cave boils down Norberg-Hodge’s ideas to two simple but profound concepts: Shorter distances are healthier than longer distances for commerce and human interaction... Diversification...is healthier than monoculture, which is what globalization tends to create, whether it’s bananas or mobile phones. Her work has earned the respect of everyone from the Dalai Lama and chef Alice Waters, to the British comedian Russell Brand. Activist and bestselling author Bill McKibben had this to say: She got the opportunity to see a different world, and she was smart enough to understand that she wasn’t looking at a relic, she was looking at a vision of a working future. And she has kept that vision close over many decades, helping all of us see that the metrics we’re used to—G.D.P., say—are not the only possibilities. Localism, and Cave’s article in particular, are the topics on this week’s episode of Upzoned. They are timely subjects too, as host Abby Kinney and regular cohost Chuck Marohn were speaking just a few days after the presidential election...but before the results were fully known. Abby and Chuck discuss why the conventional Left-Right understanding of politics is so inadequate, and why we need another axis, one that runs the spectrum from centralized, top-down power to decentralized, bottom-up energy. They discuss the problems that arise when systems get too big and complex. And they talk about the principle of subsidiarity, which states that problems not only should be addressed—but must be addressed—as locally as possibly. Then in the Downzone, Chuck discusses the challenging but rewarding experience of reading How to Be an Anti-Racist in conversation with others. And Abby recommends a recent article by Strong Towns senior editor Daniel Herriges, “We Don’t Live In a World of Cartoon Villains.” Additional Show Notes “What if Local and Diverse is Better than Networked and Global?” by Damien Cave Abby Kinney (Twitter) Charles Marohn (Twitter) Gould Evans Studio for City Design Theme Music by Kemet the Phantom (Soundcloud) Additional Strong Towns content on localism and taking local action: “It’s All Local Now,” by Charles Marohn ”The New Localism” (Podcast) “Big, Impersonal Institutions Are Failing Us.

This week we take a close look at the first Presidential debate and ask is it possible for Joe Biden and the media to cut through with a disruptive figure like Trump. Monica Attard spoke with New York Times' Damien Cave and SMH and the Age's Nick O'Malley.

Zack Cooper joins Melanie and Chris for a discussion of the post-COVID-19 international order. The struggle in both the United States and China to overcome the economic and health effects of the pandemic have called into question each country’s capacity for leadership. Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd doubts that middle-tier powers will be able to fill that gap and deal with global challenges. But other signs suggest productive multilateral approaches, including some that barely involve Washington or Beijing. With the two leading powers increasingly locked in a zero-competition, will other countries demonstrate the continued value of cooperation? Melanie showers praise on country music legend and philanthropist Dolly Parton and throws shade on E.U. diplomats for abetting Chinese misinformation. Chris hopes a failed coup plotter’s 15 minutes of fame are up.

In three instalments, they outline the ideas and the political and economic forces that set out what the 1990s would look like.

The New York Times Australia Bureau Chief Damien Cave has reported from locations around the globe from Mexico to Baghdad, and is still getting his head around some of Australia’s colloquialisms and quirks. On this episode of the Journo Project, Damien Cave sends a warning about the lack of press freedom in this country, saying Australia is one of the most secretive democracies he has ever reported from. He says that has greater implications now in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic.

For years, climate change experts have said that hotter and drier summers would exacerbate the threat of bushfires in Australia. Fires have been raging since September and a prolonged drought and record-breaking temperatures mean the blazes won't stop for weeks — if not months.  But to read or watch or listen to the conservative press in Australia is to get an altogether different story: that it's arson, not climate change, that's mainly responsible for the deaths of nearly 30 humans and an estimated one billion animals. Damien Cave is the New York Times bureau chief in Sydney, and he recently wrote about "How Rupert Murdoch Is Influencing Australia's Bushfire Debate." He spoke to Bob about the media landscape of denial and deflection, and why critics say it's making it harder to hold the government accountable.

How can technology disrupt our political system in a useful way? We’ve seen a lot of political turmoil lately, some people blame technology others praise it as a liberating force. Can technology bring politicians, and the people they represent, together in a way in which they can truly collaborate? Technology can wield influence over government but government can also influence technology; namely by controlling Net Neutrality. We look into the interesting world where technology and human rights intersect.Panelists include New York Times Australian Bureau Chief, Damien Cave and award winning journalist NITV News host Natalie Ahmat explore these fascinating questions.

Rain comes. In his voice messages, Aziz sounds unwell – but speaks at length about how, in spite of their living conditions, the men finally feel they have some control over their lives. He tells Michael about how they're cooperating with each other, too – splitting duties like security and the daily cleaning of the compound. 'We don't always want to get the attention of the people about the hardship,' he explains. 'We are just paying the price for our freedom.' 'We are managing our lives. You know, it's been 21 days now, three weeks … it's become normal for us.'

Seventeen days into the stand-off with authorities, Aziz tells Michael about how men in the detention centre are dealing with the lack of water after tanks and wells were destroyed – as well as the men's medical needs, many arising from the ad hoc water supply. And with New Zealand's resettlement offer in the headlines, he reflects on why Australia has so far refused it. 'The tank is still empty, because it's been like, a few days we haven't had any rain.'

Do you have a right to film the police? Should people film the police?
