Shared Minds Podcast

We're going quiet for a while. Liam's heading to Europe for a month, and Kirby's off to Japan for a few weeks, so there'll be a break between episodes. If you're wondering where we've gone, now you know. Before we disappear, we get into a few things we reckon just aren't fair, starting with celebrities who get egotistical, arrogant, and rude to their fans. Those fans are the people who put them where they are, so honestly? Pull your head in. Plus plenty more yapping along the way. Catch you when we're back!

We’ve all had one, the shit job, the nightmare boss, or the workplace that made you question your entire existence. In this episode, Liam and Kirby talk about their worst jobs, terrible bosses, toxic workplaces and the absolute bullsh*t that can come with having a job. Because sometimes you don’t hate working… you just hate your boss

Liam and Kirby sit down to talk about Liam’s recent experience trying to get back on his medication and the frustrating reality of navigating the mental health system all over again. The conversation takes a turn as they question how the government is spending money, why accessing mental health support can feel so difficult, and whether enough is actually being done for Australians who need help. It’s an honest conversation about mental health, medication, the system, and the frustrations that come with trying to get the support you need. Love Ya

It really is one of our all-time favourites. So in the spirit of the anniversary here it is again. If you listened to this one last year trust us it is absolutely worth another listen.
