...in which, guest presenting for Mark and Dave, Radio 4's Caz Graham dons her boots for a day on the farm with organic dairy farmer, Chair of the Nature Friendly Farming Network and one of Cumbria's farming heroes, James Robinson. In a wide-ranging conversation with fifth-generation farmer 'James from Strickley' – in the shadow of The Helm – Caz and James delve deep into the world of regenerative farming, talk new life in a rewiggled Saint Sunday's Beck and discuss the beauty, utlity and nature benefits – 98 bird species! – of James' beloved laid hedges, as articulated by visting poet and beatboxer Testament. Looking back at old farm diaries, Caz is wowed by historic entries that juxtapose the whitewashing of cattle shippons with a collapsing world order. Surveying a farmed landscape with views to Morecambe Bay, James reflects on the John Marsden adage that you should 'Live as though you'll die tomorrow, but farm as though you'll live forever', and – following an invite to discuss farming at Number 10 – calls for ministers to engage in joined-up thinking that aligns farming and food production with health, access to the countryside, education and social care.

Thanks to listener Miriam, we're tackling John Marsden's Tomorrow, When The War Began (1993), as well as its 2010 film adaptation by Stuart Beattie and the Brendan Maher-directed season of TV from 2016.This massive Australian hit is highly teachable, though don't go looking for commentary on colonialism or political curiosity from its teenage protagonists. The film is a big budget action film that Joe prefers, while Brenna likes the direction and relationship between the kids in the TV series, even if both adaptations lean into uncomfortable racism in their depiction of the invading force. Yikes!Plus: let no one doubt Brenna's commitment to podcasting because Brenna was on tornado watch when we recorded this episode (listen to the outtakes for proof!)Wanna connect with the show?

A perfect opportunity for you to be more thoughtful as you start your week. Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12    https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Dr. Marc Schulz is the Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development and an award-winning professor at Bryn Mawr College, where he directs the Data Science Program and is the Sue Kardas Ph.D. 1971 Chair in Psychology. He completed his BA at Amherst College and his Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness.  Notes: "Relationships are at the core of human flourishing." Friendships - Map out your social universe. Are the connections uplifting or depleting? Ask, “what do I value about the person?” Be intentional about your relationships and how you invest in them. The quality of the relationship you have with your partner will determine how long you will live. As we get older, we tend to get happier. We accumulate emotional wisdom. We should focus more on relationships that give us emotional sustenance. This work is built on a bedrock of scientific research. At its heart, the Harvard Study of Adult Development. An extraordinary scientific endeavor that began in 1938, is still going Bob is the 4th director of the study, and Marc is its associate director. “Generativity” – In psychology, expanding our concerns and efforts beyond our own lives is called generativity and it's a key to unlocking the vibrancy and excitement of midlife. When asked at the end of their lives, “What do you wish you'd done less of? And more of?” The study participants often referenced their middle years and regretted having spent so much time worrying and so little time acting in a way that made them feel alive. The story of John Marsden and Leo DeMarco… Leo lived a rich life because of the relationships he fostered with his wife, daughters, and close friends. John put all of his effort into becoming a lawyer, becoming well-known, and didn't focus on his relationships. They ended up on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to happiness. Research has shown that people who have a close colleague at work are more engaged and productive than those who don't. Close to half of your waking moments are spent thinking about something other than what you are doing. Loneliness increases your risk of death as much as smoking or obesity. Evolutionary theories: Survival depends on us coming together as groups. We are social creatures. How to handle remote/hybrid working environments? There is a cost to not being together. There is a cost to working alone. Friendships need repeated exposure. Doing tasks together builds friendships. You can't do those well remotely. Strangers on a Train: What do you want to do while on a train? Listen to music or talk with the stranger sitting next to you? Most will say that they would rather put their headphones on, listen to music, or read a book. However, the research suggests that you'll be happier if you spoke with a stranger on the train. Life/Career advice: Think about the nitty gritty of a job. Talk to people doing the job. Spend extended time with them while they are doing the job. See what it's like.

In this episode of Addiction Audio, Professor John Marsden talks about the role of pre-registration in increasing research transparency. He addresses the anxieties that people can have about pre-registration and talks about how it's really not that difficult or daunting.Professor Marsden talks gets into the detail of pre-registration; when to register, how to register and the importance of planning for – and dealing with – missing data. He covers how plans change during any research project and how to respond when they do. The importance of pre-registration also includes qualitative research and Professor Marsden talks about the need for more qualitative and observational studies to be pre-registered.“We're really trying to encourage people to just plan, adapt if you need to, change if you have to – but just have a clear narrative about that – and everyone benefits. It means that what was done is much more reproducible.”Professor John Marsden is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Addiction. He is Professor of Addiction psychology at the Addictions Department, the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Kings College London.Marsden, J, Cousijn, J and Stapleton, J, Pre‐registration: not a daunting practice.

Tom's two books are called ‘Life is a dance' and ‘Storm Clouds & Silver Linings – my journey'. To get your copy of Tom's books go to: www.tomstodulkaauthor.com Thanks for this delightful chat Tom. If you'd like to be interviewed on the Indie Author Interview Series or Showcase Your Biz contact Pip to ask questions @Pip Coleman Author Coach or you can book in for a 30 minute complimentary ‘what's it all about' chat: https://pipcoleman.clickbook.net/sub/pipcoleman/ Tom was born in Bathurst, NSW in 1951, in one of Australia's post WWII refugee camps, a huge improvement on the UN Displaced Person's Camp in Naples where his brother Andrea was born. After some intense cross border encounters in Germany, Switzerland and Holland, his parents Zdeny and Philomena had fled Czechoslovakia in 1947 and were ordered to travel by train to Naples, where life was no picnic to say the least. Tom's early formative years were spent in Parramatta and after being educated at the King's School and North Sydney Boys High he studied law at Sydney University, where he won an Australia Britain Society scholarship, which took him on an overseas study tour. In 1976 he joined the Royal Australian Navy as a naval legal officer and served in most Australian States and in the United States during the 1990-91 Gulf War, after a short stint in Pakistan and the Khyber Pass. After 20 years in the Australian Military he established a full time career as a mediator and facilitator, practicing throughout Australia, including the Northern Territory before settling in Brisbane in 2002. An early pioneer of mediation and alternative dispute resolution and mentored by Sir Laurence Street, he has promoted its benefits both here in Australia and overseas. Tom is accredited internationally and in particular, in India, PNG and Hong Kong and has promoted mediation across Vietnam in recent years. Tom has been fortunate to have enormous support from his parents and his loving wife Janet and three children, Louisa, Katherine and William. This, along with the great support from many friends and colleagues across the country has played a major role in shaping him every step of the way. Growing up in a refugee household, where English was a second language to German, had its challenges and benefits. Assimilation was the order of the day and resilience and unimaginable strength and sacrifice shown by his parents and his grandmother created a unique background and environment. At prep school he struggled with his English essays and often his mother stepped in to help, despite her own challenges learning a new language. Being a contemporary of the author John Marsden helped to inspire Tom, years later, to try his hand at writing. Tom was always a happy child, able to keep up a positive disposition, despite the many home pressures and stresses of day to day life. His father was a successful Sydney artist and Tom played a major role in the management and promotion of the cottage industry which contributed to helping pay the prohibitive school fees. The early exposure to the arts and artistic endeavour provided a strong and enduring legacy. Finally, in 1976 whilst at sea in the Pacific Ocean with the Navy he wrote his first poem and found a way to express his own artistic creativity. Tom is optimistic about his next book of poems and has commenced writing a series of short stories. Life, love and work intertwine with nature in a unique series of poems. No matter what the day to day challenges are, as life unfolds from youth to almost three score & 10, Tom Stodulka tries to face each day with positivity. Journey with Tom through tales of Australian life, discover local flora and fauna and learn from his experiences in his work as a mediator. Tom shares his deep appreciation of nature, his passion for his work and takes the reader on a journey through life.

Access to quality education is a huge issue globally, and parents everywhere want the best for their children. In Australia, where large areas of the country have been in a hard lockdown due to COVID-19, schools have been closed to students for a lengthy period of time, and parents have been forced to home school their children. Some children have thrived, and some have suffered – unable to effectively engage in home schooling and falling behind. This, against the backdrop of scandal after scandal involving elite private schools and racist, sexist and homophobic behaviour from students has reignited the ongoing debate about the merit of federal government funding for private schools. Season 4 kicks off with John Marsden, storyteller, renowned author and Principal of Candlebark, a P-7 school nestled in the foothills of the Macedon Ranges on 1100 acres of bushland. John and I chat through the merits of alternative education, access and equity and the public vs private debate.    

Amanda and Jenn discuss memoirs by trans men, audiobooks for kids, some fantasy and dystopia, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

I’m at the point in my Gender Journey(™) where I think I need to read some books by trans men that talk about the experience of being a trans man! Either memoirs or OwnVoices fiction would be cool. Especially interested in hearing from men who only figured out they were trans as adults and maybe identified as lesbian before that? Thanks! -Someone 2. Hello! I am looking for a fantasy novel where the protagonist is not a young adult. As I creep into my 40’s, I’m finding it harder and harder to relate to the tortured 20-something who has to overcome their Extra Traumatic Past to fully harness their power (here’s looking at you, Trail of Lightning, City of Brass, The Space Between Worlds…) I’d really love a book where the main character is confident in his or her abilities and already has a strong sense of self and good connection to others. Captain Vimes from the Discworld Series and many of Alice Hoffman’s characters fit the bill, but I haven’t found anything recently that has rung my bell. I love Naomi Novik, Jeff Vandermeer,  and NK Jemisin and am a fan of classic fantasy, urban fantasy, and weird fiction. -Brenna 3. Looking for newer fantasy or dystopian titles with male protagonist.  As a librarian, I’ve been finding it difficult to find newer titles for young readers, specifically male readers, transitioning out of Juvie reads into YA reads.  I’m often asked for read-a-likes for fantasy and/or dystopian titles with male protagonist, and I’m finding my “go to” titles are aging off of the shelves.  Specifically being asked about read-a-likes for Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Maze Runner, and The Brotherband Chronicles.  My “go to” titles were The Chronicles of Nick, Bartimaeus trilogy, and the Alex Rider series. I can find titles with female leads with no problem, but this doesn’t always appeal to younger male readers (they still want to ‘see themselves’ when they read.)  Is there anything you can recommend published within the past 2 years or so that can fill this void?  -James 4. I needed something to look forward to and am planning the trip to NYC I’ve always wanted to take. (Not sure when I’ll actually get to take it but imma be ready.) I’ve read so much historical fiction that takes place there, but not so much in modern day. Can you recommend anything that might give me some inspiration of things to see or do there that is closer to the New York I’ll see in the next year or so? -Brooke 5. I have had a little success in getting through working from home while “homeschooling” my 4.5 year old this week with audiobooks.  We have listened to the first two Ramona books by Beverly Cleary two times each!  What are some other chapter books where the characters are four or five years old that we can try?  I want to keep this crafting while audiobooking up and ditch the YouTube marathons we were resorting to.  Thanks so much! -Brooke 6. Hello! I have an oddly specific request. Lately I’ve really been into the Tomorrow When the War Began series by John Marsden and How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. I’m looking for similar books: voice-y YA books in diary form where there is a disaster/war/other Big Problem and a group of teens are walking through the wilderness while trying to survive. I realize that’s incredibly specific but I’ll take as many of those elements as you can find in one book! I care a lot about the characters and relationships, and I’m looking for settings that feel pretty realistic – so, not a dystopia with lots of sci-fi or magical elements. I am open to historical fiction. (I have already read and loved Code Name Verity.) I’d like to avoid books with domestic abuse or sexual assault as a major plotline. Thank you!!! -Emily 7. This is specific but I’m looking for pregnancy books that are informative but also not just heterosexualy focused? Or out of date with ideals of women’s bodies and rights. Does that make sense? My partner and I are going to start trying for children soon via ICI and I have no idea where to start with pregnancy information. -Debra Books Discussed Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel Mallory Ortbery / Daniel M.

in this episode we dive deep into the shows stunning cinematography and architecture. Beautiful shots in Spain and Singapore inspires an idea to do an Around the Westworld Tour to visit all the set locations like The City of Arts & Sciences in Spain. Favorite scenes: The wide shot of The Riot Control Mech aka the Transformer bot and landscape in the background. Detailed and purposeful architecture - from the look of the hospital building to the Delos cold look The headquarters building looks like a big pearl set in the ground. Shows like WW inspires young filmmakers to create series more than film. Easter Egg - Arrows from the Rehoboam ball printed on Charlotte's son's bedding. Maybe a  reminder that big brother is watching, like in the movie Eagle Eye.  Or just promoting WW merch! Favorite Tech: The Drip - tech in the roof of Caleb's mouth Who the Hale is in Hale? Who's betting on Teddy being the pearl inside Charlotte Hale's body. Fan theory on why Teddy's pearl can not be inside Charlotte! (correction - James Marsden (not John Marsden :p)

I've traveled with Santiago for three austral summers and his humour and humanity have buoyed my moods while his perspectives on the birds we encountered opened my eyes to biological vistas I'd previously not spotted due to my focus on the mud.  I only just met John Marsden ten minutes before pressing record but his tales of high latitudes aviation warrant further attention than the ten minutes afforded at Seaworks.  I hope to spend a lot more time in company with these people in the future but until then here's a sonic record of our encounters.  And some faux advertising to let you know what I've saved you from/what you're missing out on. Next month, the BGLE get moving. 

As a kid, John Marsden would retreat into books as a way to escape a tough childhood.  As a school teacher John was frustrated by the lack of reading and good stories available to his students so took matters into his own hands. And has now written over 40 books. The majority of his books are written for teenagers, including the popular Tomorrow series. The difference he has made to young Australians stretches beyond his writing though, having moved on from just being a teacher to founding two schools in Victoria. It was great to sit down and have a yarn with a fellow Australian with a passion for education. 

Inspired teaching can change lives. What are the ingredients of great teaching, and great schools?

John Marsden is a children's book author, educator and founder of two alternative schools in Victoria. His latest book, The Art of Growing Up, is a for-adults manifesto of how today's authority figures are stifling the development of kids. Inside, he puts forward ideas on bullying and other matters that have attracted controversy and criticism, including from the academia. Here, Marsden shares his views.

James and his family established the Cygnet Bay Pearl farm on the Dampier Peninsula and through this multigenerational endeavour they have developed strong personal and working relationships with the indigenous Bardi people. It is a unique place to bring up kids where the country itself does much of the teaching. Topics discussed. Straight to the discipline debate We are both children of the 70's Parenting has changed- expectations have changed. Even in the most remote town on earth, phones and social media are a concern. John Marsden and the realities of childhood development. Parenting mentors. The struggle to look after your relationship and mental health. Biology wants us to breed- that's all. Oxytocin addicts. When having kids is hard to do. The bush raises the kids. Growing up with Aboriginal people. Holding back the smart phone Tsunami. Teach resilience Boys will find someone to follow. Find some bush to release your kids into. All non-indigenous people should spend time with Aboriginal people and take the time to listen and learn. White Australia has no idea about what Aboriginal Australia needs. Long term relationships for reconciliation. Bardi kids going through lore- Non-indigenous kids being invited to go through the process too. A brief history of the Brown Family Pearling business on the Dampier Peninsula. Managing the fear for your kid's future- what if they do the things we did? And more!! Trying to appreciate the good things about being a parent. Can we be fearless parents?

Former political journo and mum-of-two (soon to be three), Lauren Dubois sits down with Holly to chat about her all too-real parenting survival guide, You Will (Probably) Survive, A real and hilarious take on the changes that come with becoming a parent. Plus Holly and Andrew chat about Australian author John Marsden's new book 'The Art Of Growing Up' and whether it's time to take a step back and let our kids do more things for themselves. And the world is obsessed with all of the 'firsts' we have with our kids, but what about the lasts? One of the last acts of hands-on parenthood is teaching our kids to drive, and let's be honest, it's also one of the hardest.

Catherine Middleton has made headlines recently after Kensington Palace issued a statement categorically denying that the Duchess of Cambridge had cosmetic work done; specifically ‘baby botox’. So, what is ‘baby botox’? And does everyone secretly have it? And author John Marsden has caused a bit of a stir after remarking that bullying is really just a form of feedback. The author and educator is promoting his new book The Art Of Growing Up and reckons that if kids just became a little more ‘likeable’ maybe bullying wouldn’t be such a problem. Does he have a point? Plus, Holly was stopped in her tracks this week by Brigid Schulte’s piece in The Guardian, which was all about why women need more free time. Jessie isn’t convinced.  RECCOS Mia: TV show - Working Moms on Netflix Jessie: TV show - The Hunting on SBS Holly: Book - Back On Track, by Bernie Shakeshaft and James Knight You can buy tickets to see us live at mamamia.com.au/events and it's all thanks to our partners, Toyota Kluger….

This week on the show, one of the country's most acclaimed and prolific authors dropped by the Baxter Booth on his way through town promoting his controversial new manifesto "The Art of Growing Up". John spoke to the boys about how he writes, where he finds inspiration and why he hates Yuppie parents.

John Marsden has spent most of his adult life engaged with young minds. He is best known for his popular youth fiction series Tomorrow, he's the principal of two schools and the step-father to six boys. Now he's turned his hand to a problem he sees around him: the impact of toxic parenting. In his book, The Art of Growing up John says our children are being brought up without freedom and fear, and that this is having a lasting, negative impact on kids. 

John Marsden has influenced generations of children and teenagers. He has published more than 40 books, including the beloved Tomorrow When the War Began series. In 2019 he released his manifesto on teaching and parenting, The Art of Growing Up. He has sold over five million books and has won every major award in Australia for young people's fiction. John founded two schools in Victoria, Candlebark and Alice Miller. The two schools enrolled 380 students in 2019. About The Garret You can read the transcript of this interview at thegarretpodcast.com.

Gott folk! Hjärtligt välkomna till det första avsnittet för 2019. I detta avsnitt tittar Meriam, Amina och Martin bakåt i historien till 1900-talet, ett minst sagt turbulent århundrade som också såg födseln av ett antal verkligt omskakande böcker. God lyssning! Böcker vi pratar om i detta avsnitt är: "Tordyveln flyger i skymningen" av Maria Gripe "Eleanor & Park " av Rainbow Rowell "Doften av ett hem" av Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock "Strimmor av hopp" av Ruta Sepetys "Låt vargarna komma" av Carol Rifka Brunt "Färgen på drömmar" av Ruta Sepetys "Imorgon, när kriget kom" av John Marsden "Kort kjol" av Christina Wahldén "Som om ingenting" av Katarina von Bredow

In this week's podcast, we mourn the passing of the purple one - music icon Prince. Then we watch the ABC's new adaptation of John Marsden's classic Young Adult series 'Tomorrow When the War Began'. Finally, we listen to The Mystery Show and Reply All, coming soon to Australia thanks to the Wheeler Centre's new program.

Fear not listeners, for Tomorrow is no longer a day away. John Marsden's Australian classic, Tomorrow When the War Began is fodder for the hungry Tumnus herd. We devour every word of this first book in a series of seven, then turn our attention to the 2010 film adaptation. There's some enjoyable dalliances with the Aussie vernacular, a heart is crushed with Oz of another kind, and half the team confront some post traumatic stress induced by the gripping writing.

Pack a picnic, round up the kids and join us for a lunchtime reading of John Marsden and Shaun Tan’s popular picture book The Rabbits—a partly allegorical fable about colonisation told through the eyes of the colonised, but with an unseen narrator. The fable describes the coming of ‘rabbits’—an encounter that is at first friendly and curious, but later darkens as it becomes apparent that the visitors are not who they once appeared to be.
