Podcasts about purple day

Ten years ago, Sydney-based artist HOSSEI took a step back from the art world to care for his sick mother. The more time they spent together, the more inspired HOSSEI became to create something especially for, about, and starring his mum.HOSSEI is an artist with a flair for colour, quirk and unbridled joy.But growing up the only son of a Persian-Australian family, it took years of hard work to convince his parents that being an artist was his destiny.HOSSEI's mother, Nahid, came around first, getting her sewing machine out to help her son make his incredible costumes.Then, it was HOSSEI's turn to support his mum, who needed a carer as her health deteriorated.As they spent more and more time together, HOSSEI was inspired to write a musical for, about and starring his cheeky, charismatic mother.The project is personal, but also has a political edge -- women in Iran aren't allowed to freely sing, dance or play music -- and so HOSSEI put his mother centre stage.Further informationRecently, HOSSEI was commissioned by Parramatta Artist Studios to update their uniform in connection with Wear it Purple Day.He has also been commissioned by the Sydney Opera House to develop a play space for the Centre for Creativity, which will be presented in January 2026.HOSSEI is currently touring his show ESSSENSSSE through regional NSW, at Bathurst Regional Gallery, Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour and later to Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.You can keep up to date with HOSSEI's exhibitions and news at his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores visual arts, performing arts, becoming an artist, how to be an artist, carers, caring for parents, the sandwich generation, Persia, Iran, womens rights, feminism, musical theatre, experimental art, Western Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts, university, TAFE, tertiary education, what to do after high school, graduation, Istanbul, migration, war, escape, family dynamics, sisters, kidnapping.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today is Purple Day, which raises awareness for epilepsy. King Wally Lewis has had his own experience with epilepsy. Mr Lewis, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "It wasn't something that I felt proud of, but it was something that I was pretty scared that I was unable to keep control in the way that that it had been going." "I'd had it for quite some time, but there was the denial there rather than just owning up," Mr Lewis continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This month, a very special guest with a very special mission joins Greg on the podcast from New York City, and we are going to get REAL. Anjalee Seneviratne began having seizures when she was growing up in Sri Lanka, and they discuss how a lack of awareness or education about epilepsy leads to people not doing the first thing to bring this condition into the light… talk about it. She is now living in New York City, and attempting to get a bunch of landmark buildings including the Empire State Building to light up for Purple Day on March 26. She has had some luck with World Trade Center and Bryant Park, but with more awareness there is certainly a way! Finally, they talk about a very serious subject that is often times not talked about openly due to its severity, and that is suicide. Anjalee had an episode this past year, but thankfully survived. She talks about how epilepsy and her medication side effects had an impact, and how people treated her after that event. If you or someone you know is suffering from suicidal thoughts, talk to somebody. Dial 988, or visit 988lifeline.org. The world is so much better with you here.   The Talk About It podcast is sponsored by Seizures Are Signs — dedicated to educating families on the importance of early and specific diagnosis by providing an assessment to help get the conversation started, educational information, stories from families who have found a diagnosis, links to advocacy groups, and more.

Dear friends,Time to take a break from Romans for a few weeks, and deal with some other issues that have been on our minds.This week we turn our attention to a moral question: How should we respond when our workplace or school wants us to take a stand about some social issue that we think differently about? What should we do, for example, when ‘Wear it Purple Day' comes around in support of LGBTQ+ rights? Quietly wear a purple tie and keep our head down? Or just as quietly ‘forget' to? Or make a more visible protest? And what biblical principles should inform our decision?We hope you find our exploration of the ins-and-outs of this question illuminating not just for situations like this one, but as a model for thinking about moral questions generally.Your brotherTony This is a public episode.

It's the one day a year dedicated to raising money and awareness to support everyone who is living with the effects of epilepsy. Right now, people around the globe are cycling, walking, swimming, running and more to raise money to support people living with epilepsy. And if you are one of them, thank you so much.But one of my biggest passions is advocating for the fact that - people with epilepsy can do these things too.

As unfair and painful as things can get this family has somehow gotten even stronger from those situations. Joined by my friend and cousin Allana Mueller we talk about how Epilepsy has touched this family. Losing someone is never easy and when you loss your twin life is sure going to change. I want to thank Allana so much for being vulnerable with coming forward to talk about this topic with us.
