Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Talbot

This week we welcomed back the legend that is Ryan Bailey, from So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey. And what a treat it was! This is the ultimate Bravo breakdown for anyone interested in reality tv and pop culture.We covered the Summer House reunion, the Paige and Craig breakup, the darkness of The Valley, the joys and horrors of Bravo's Love Hotel, and the palate cleansing sweet relief of Four Seasons on Netflix. We wondered why we are both blocked by Paige, and if Jesse Solomon really is just one giant gland? What is it about Scheana that triggers a complete lack of empathy in so many? Thoughts on Trump's pardon of the Chrisleys and will the Menendez brothers be next?And that's just scratching the surface. Ryan's takes on popculture and Bravo are deeply insightful and might just give you another lens to view your favourite shows through.Subscribe to So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey on Youtube,listen to the podcast (it's my actual fave!) and remember to rate his show five stars.While you're at it, please rate this show five stars and leave a review on iTunes.

What if there really is life, before life?Journalist, editor, podcaster and author Amy Molloy has spent time exploring just that. Do we have past lives? And if we do, can children remember them? Which led to her next enquiry - how we can parent our children in a way that supports their previous life experiences.In this conversation, we dove right into what past life parenting means, how we can connect with our own past lives, a new way to look at neurodivergence and the layers of research that Amy undertook to gain these intriguing insights.In her new book Wise Child (which we chat about here), Amy uncovers the lessons we can learn from our children about life and death, childhood fears and phobias and her own experiences as a mother of three. This is a fascinating look at parenting from a completely different perspective.You can find Amy at @amy_molloy or at www.amymolloy.com.au Follow the show at @jana.firestonePlease leave a rating and review on iTunes and Spotify, to help the show keep ticking along!Thank you to the wonderful Sam Talbot for the production of this show.

Emmy Sharrett is a rising star and bonafide Bravoleb, who you might know from Bravo's "Southern Hospitality".With three seasons now under her belt, Emmy has had to face the reality tv gauntlet, with unique highs and intense lows.She faced more than most, with her relationship with partner Will Kulp under constant scrutiny, and her co-stars accused of fabricating elaborate schemes to bring their relationship down.Emmy had some pretty iconic scenes in Season 3 as far as reality tv goes, which were often a direct result of her raw emotion and overwhelm. But what we didn't know at the time, was that bubbling away underneath all of her reactions, was actually a lifelong diagnosis of ADHD and sensory processing challenges. Both of which can cause an intense experience of overstimulation - and as we saw, some big reactions.In this episode, Emmy goes deep into her life with a neurodivergent brain, the challenges she faced at her various schools across the world and throughout her life, and how she has learned to manage it through the decades. She has great advice for parents of kids with ADHD and shares her thoughts on the medication debate.You'll also hear Emmy's insights into the show, her behaviour, her castmates and her thriving relationship with Will.Whether you're a Bravo fan or are curious to learn more about the experience of ADHD , then this episode is for you!Follow Emmy at @emmysharrett.Follow the show at @jana.firestone.Please leave a rating and review on iTunes!Thank you to Sam Talbot, for audio engineering and production as always!

Georgie Collinson is one of Australia's leading anxietyexperts who has turned her lens to relationships. Anxiety is such a common experience and affliction for so many of us, but did you know that it can turn up and disrupt our romantic relationships too? Don't be afraid though, Georgie has created a beautiful roadmap out of some of the most common ways we might sabotage, repeat patterns or even choose the same (wrong) person over and over again.We shared some laughs over the terrible relationshipchoices we have both made over the years and as you'll hear, Georgie shared some of her childhood and lifechanging moments, that have lead her to her happy place today.This episode is all about taking control of the things thatwe can - and letting go of what we can't.You can read all about it in her new book Master YourRelationship Anxiety, find her on Instagram at @georgiethenaturopath or via herwebsite at www.georgiecollinson.com          Follow the show at @jana.firestone and leave us a rating orreview on iTunes, so that we can beat the algorithm! Thank you to our audio and production engineer, the wonderful Sam Talbot.

Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph is the Head Chef on Bravo's Below Deck Down Under, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. She's a firecracker, a private chef and a go-getter who can't help her impulses sometimes.. So where did all that come from?We went all the way back to get a glimpse into early life for little Tzarina, who was a young girl struggling with dyslexia and ADHD - without knowing it at the time. Now, as a much loved (and sometimes trolled) bonafide Bravolebrity, Chef Tzarina is lifting the lid on the yachting industry, rallying for change on behalf of the many women who have felt unsafe or at risk at sea, and advocating to destigmatise mental health.Chef Tzarina is an open book when it comes to her own struggles and we covered so much ground, from the benefits of hypnotherapy, EMDR and traditional therapy to the ways she has learned to navigate ADHD without medication.She is an absolute delight and I know you will love her as much as I do.You can find her on Instagram at @cheftzarina or catch her on Below Deck Down Under, Season 3 now airing.Follow the show at @jana.firestone and make sure you're subscribed, rating and reviewing on iTunes!Thank you to the wonderful Sam Talbot, for our audio and production magic, and to Bravo NBC Universal for approving this interview!

We've nearly made it to the end friends, our evenings will be reclaimed and our outrage quelled.But before then, we are here to say all the things you've been thinking.In the final twist in the experiment, Paul failed BIG TIME. And then faced the firing squad from Carina and the rest of the cast. They were not holding back and neither did we.We unmasked Jacqui, questioned Ryan, and can hardly believe it.. But even had a moment of affirmation for Adrian. What is happening!?One week to go..Listen now on your fave podcast app and make sure you'refollowing @yvie_jones and @jana.firestone to join in on our REUNION live event!Huge thanks as always to the brilliant Sam Talbot for hisaudio and production prowess – we could not do this show without you. Please leave a rating and review on iTunes so we can smash the algorithm.If you would like to work with Jana (believe it or not, butI really am a measured and experienced therapist, when I'm not raging about MAFS!) please email directly at firestonetherapies@gmail.com to see if we might be a good fit for each other.

It's the MAFS shakedown with Yvie Jones and Jana Firestone. The cast is back from home town visits and all we can think about is Jacqui's lies and trolling, Ryan's neck veins and toxic masculinity and their complete inability to carry an authentic feeling for longer than a few minutes at a time.The masks well and truly came off this week and we finally saw the real Ryan (and what a relief that was). We were confused by Dave's 180 back to lovey dovey land with Jamie and wondered how much production had to do with it, the Beth and Teejay breakdown and the enraging hero edits for Adrian and Paul.Yvie also drops some news about her latest TV projects and we digressed into Survivor, Big Brother and the Jungle territory.Show up for us (IYKYK) on socials and share your thoughts at @yvie_jones and @jana.firestone - we'd love to hear them!Leave a rating and review on iTunes or Spotify and share this episode with your MAFS loving friends. Thank you as always to our production master Sam Talbot, for your audio magic.

MAFS Shakedown: We are back and Yvie Jones and Jana Firestone are just as confused as you are.What happened to Green Flag Dave? Was it a sudden change of heart or a series of unfortunate circumstances? We are feeling the ick ourselves when it comes to Ryan and his bro show, while Jacqui is just letting her freak flag fly! We dissect Veronica's bizarre behaviour, Eliot's redemption arc and dare we say... was Adrian actually right?!Yvie shares her Botox regrets from her time in the jungle and gives us more insight into the behind the scenes of production on some of our favourite shows.We give our predictions for the Final Vows (and they might not be what you think..)

She has worked in crisis PR in the political space, she has interviewed stars, producers, directors and show creators and is known for her intelligent analyses of the shows we all love.Kate has a fascinating backstory that would rival many of the docuseries she now dissects for a living. Her tumultuous childhood included boarding at the Milton Hershey School, a place for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to access education on a level playing field. Her resilience,tenacity and curiosity for the world comes from this intriguing start to life, which led to her love of storytelling, very early on.Kate is also a mother of 5 and lives in glossy Orange County,California but don't let that fool you! Kate tells it like it is and calls out the BS where she sees it.We talked about the impact of her upbringing on her careerchoices, her parenting and interests - and had the questions turned on me, in her trademark curiousity style!

TW: This episode discusses family violence, coercive controland abusive relationships.After a few technical glitches and gremlins (and some imperfect audio) we are back with our second MAFS shakedown! In this ep, we dissect the details of Adrian's newly released police report. Do the producers intentionally hire people with dangerous behaviours and combative fight styles?Where was Paul during the retreat? Do the producers reallythink we're just going to forget about him and his behaviour by diverting our attention (again and again) to the girls?We unpack the cycle of violence that appears to be in full swing with Adrian and Awhina, and what the warning signs might be in other relationships.Yvie drops the brilliant idea of reference checks by exes,for new relationships. Would this solve some of these issues? She also shares her experience of production interference and persistence on The Bachelorette, her experiences on Gogglebox and being sweated into compliance on I'm A Celeb. You cannot outrun the producers!We also wonder, is Veronica there for the group or for Eliot? Was Ryan doxing his ex-partner's abortion?! Was Morena's real life husband emasculated by her or was she unloved?This and so much more.

EMERGENCY EPISODE! TW: this episode includes an open discussion about family and domestic violence, abusive patterns in relationships and coercive control.You know and love Yvie Jones from TV, radio and podcasts but it was her recent story about the violent behaviour shown on MAFS that really got my attention. And I just knew we had to drill down into Yvie's thoughts in more detail.We jumped straight in to unpack our thoughts on Paul and Carina, Adrian and Awhina, how the MAFS experts handled the content (and what we think they missed), and why this was a wasted opportunity to turn something all tooreal into a crucial lesson for all Australians.We had many, many thoughts. And because of that, we'll bedoing this weekly!

When this week's guest couldn't make it to the recording, I rolled up my sleeves and took to the mic alone, in my first ever solo episode.Given how much brain space the current season of MAFS is taking up in my head, it felt like the perfect time to unpack some of my many thoughts on this years' participants. In this episode, I went a bit deeper into the idea of MAFS as a therapeutic tool and what we can learn from the relationship dynamics and communication styles (or lack thereof) that we are seeing from some of our favourite (and most jarring) couples.Are sex and hormones to blame for Awhina's attraction to Adrian? What role does childhood trauma play in the failure or success of these couplings? What happens when two people with narcissistic traits are paired together? And without pathologising, what is actually wrong with some of these people!?As a therapist, I can't help but view the series through a therapeutic lens, but I am also a genuine fan of the genre. What you'll hear in this episode, is the fine line I often dance across between excitement and professionalism when talking about these shows. Ultimately, it's all about entertainment, but why not make some meaning out of the hours of tv we're consuming!Hit me up with your thoughts on socials at @jana.firestone and share the episode with a friend!If you enjoyed this or any other episode, please leave a rating and review on iTunes!Thank you to the legendary Sam Talbot for your unwavering support and supreme levels of talent in the production of this podcast.

Nadia Mahjouri is a counsellor and group facilitator specialising in maternal mental health, with a professional background in research, focussed on ethics and feminist philosophy. She also has a fascinating backstory, that lit up the pages of her first novel, Half Truth.Her debut novel tells a somewhat fictionalised version of her own journey to find her family. Nadia grew up as a dark skinned child in 80's Tasmania,with a white mother who never talked about her Moroccan father. She had no contact and very little information about him or his family. When she was 21, she had a baby and just four months later packed him up, hopped on a plane and landed in Morocco. She felt pulled to connect with the side of her heritage and her identity that she had known nothing about. There, she started to unravel the many mysteries of her life and the discover all of the untold stories that lived within her DNA, in ways she could never have imagined.And of course, I wanted to hear all about it. Nadia's story is inspiring, moving and exciting. We covered so much ground, from the importance of identity and belonging, to the complexities of families and straddling cultures. This is a story about self-discovery, connection to roots and that age old question around nature vs nurture. You can connect with Nadia on socials at@nadiamahjouri. Listen to her podcastThe Whole Truth: Motherhood and the Writing Life with Nadia Mahjouri Or find her atwww.nadiamahjouri.com or at ww.theholdingspacecounselling.com Please leave a rating and review on iTunes sothis and other stories can find their way into new listener's ears! You'll find me at@jana.firestone or atwww.thecuriouslife.net Thank you as always to The Curious Life team –legendary sound engineer Sam Talbot and the wonderful Julie Reynolds of@audiolemonade .ww.audiolemonade.com

Welcome to the first official POP THERAPY episode of The Curious Life! As you may already know, I am a therapist with 18 years' experience in the field of human behaviour. But my therapy is reality tv and pop culture. On these Pop Therapy episodes, I will be inviting a guest from the pop culture world to join me in dissecting the shows we are hooked on, and unpacking the human behaviour behind the storylines and the headlines that have us all talking. This week I'm chatting with The Bravo Investigator, Dana Regan and we did a huge Bravo deep dive. We recorded this before the final episode of RHONY, so we don't get into that darkness, but we do share our thoughts on that franchise in general, as well as our current fave Southern Hospitality, the new season of Southern Charm, RHOC, RHOSLC, VPR and The Valley. Dana reminded me just why as Bravo fans, we might need to put down pitchforks and embrace some of the more unlikable characters on some of our favourite shows. A novel concept! We went all over the Bravo-verse in this one, so if you're a Bravo fan, strap in and enjoy the ride!

Leonie Akhidenor is property developer, a relationship coach and the host of the Parenthood Podcast, which was a finalist in the 2024 Australian Podcast Awards. Leonie is also a mother to two young boys and although she spends her time interviewing couples about their parenting experiences, she's not one to shy away from sharing her own, either. In this episode, Leonie delved into her own experiences with mental health, from anxiety to pre-natal depression and how she managed to move herself through some of those difficult days. We talked about the impact that family dynamics and background can have on our own parenting, and Leonie shared how the vast contrast between her father's upbringing in a village in Africa to her children's experience of relative privilege, growing up in Australia, informs her own choices in parenthood. There is so much in this episode, from taming that achiever mindset, the many shifts in identity as a parent and ways to balance our own needs and mental health with the demands of parenting. You can find Leonie on socials at @parenthoodpod and you can listen to the podcast wherever you get your pods. You'll notice that we've had a little identity change over here at The Curious Life, and you can find me on socials now at @jana.firestone. Same page, new handle!

Chopped 420 with comedian Ron Funches today on Dazed and Infused with Latham Woodward only on cannabis radio. According to the press info, in each hour-long episode of Chopped 420, the chefs must try to please the palates of a panel of recurring judges, including chef Esther Choi, drag performer and cannabis activist Laganja Estranja, chef Luke Reyes, chef Sam Talbot, and comedian Tacarra Williams, if they want to avoid being chopped. Episodes will include chefs trying to make dishes that use spot prawns and borscht, something called “chocolate dentures,” and the not-very-appetizing-sounding combo of armadillo eggs and eel. Chopped 420 isn’t the first culinary competition to emphasize weed cuisine. Portland-based chef Leather Storrs was featured on a Netflix show called “Cooked With Cannabis,” which premiered last year on Netflix. Like the popular “Chopped” show on Food Network, “Chopped 420″ will challenge chefs to prepare delicious meals with unpredictable ingredients. But “Chopped 420″ adds a twist. As the press information promises, the show will break new ground, “with each episode featuring four budding cannabis chefs who are challenged to create tasty and mind-warping dishes through three rounds – appetizer, entrée, and dessert - from a mystery basket of ingredients for a chance at winning the $10,000 grand prize. Besides scouring the Chopped pantry for ingredients, each competitor must also navigate the Chopped greenhouse for cannabis or CBD-infused products to incorporate into their dishes.”

Today I sit down with Chopped 420 judge Chef Sam Talbot. We talk about our experience on Chopped 420, cooking with cannabis, mental health and diabetes, moving to NYC to cook, and how Chef Sam is Gettin’ Better!    Follow @Chefsamtalbot on all socials!    Watch “Chopped 420” on Discovery+ today!   Follow me on my new Twitch channel for comedy nights, video games with friends, and more! https://www.twitch.tv/ron_funches    Become a Patron at http://www.patreon.com/gettinbetterwi... and get perks like personal affirmations, shoutouts, hand written letters, tickets to my shows, and much more!    We have an Instagram!

LGBTIQ+ Conversion Therapy has had a long and controversial history, and incredibly, is still legal in South Australia. It seeks to change or suppress a person's sexual orientation or even their gender identity, which is said to have major impacts on LGBTIQ+ people. All this leads to the question, should this practice be banned? We spoke with Equality Australia CEO Anna Brownabout the practice and why it's so detrimental to the LGBTIQ+ community. Nat Cook from SA Labor also had a chat with us about her push to outlaw the practice. Meanwhile, it's an issue that you may not have heard about, but it's having an impact on a number of people around Australia. PFAS chemicals have reportedly been used by the Defence Department in its firefighting foam on bases for training, which is reportedly leading to major drops in nearby property prices as well as health concerns.

Also on the show, the Coronavirus situation continues to worsen in Victoria, with a few scares for us here in SA too.

This pandemic has cause a lot of hardship, pain, fear and boredom. As we were in lockdown many of us started picking up new hobbies and skills. It was not only to pass the time, but a great way to keep up our mental health wellbeing.  Gaining popularity in the 80's, Dungeon and Dragons became a staple icon of the nerd.
