1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Already, and this is the Daily This is the Daily

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: os oh Now it makes sense.

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: Good morning and welcome to the Daily Ohs. It is

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: the thirty first of August. I'm Zara, I'm Sam, back

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: for another episode of the Good News, and it feels

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: like this week we really need it. There's been a

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: fair bit of bad and sad news, so I'm glad

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: that we're having this opportunity to share a bit more

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: of the brightness.

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Definitely, I want you to think like you've just spent

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: the whole week in the rain and we're about to

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: give you the sunshine. We have Vitamin D. You actually

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: get bonus points if you are listening to this whilst

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: walking innvice. Yes, so let's get into it. Take me

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: to San fran that's our first good news story.

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Can't physically take you there, but I can mentally take

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: you there.

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: And I can't physically give vitamin D through audio, but

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: you know what the magic of audio. Let's pretend we're

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: in San Fran.

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So a school in San Francisco this week has

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: become the home of a new totally free grocery store.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: Now this week, Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior Academic middle School,

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: as you said, is a school in San Francisco. It

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: unveiled the free grocery store that's now going to be

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: open to not just students, but also to parents.

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Wow, that's going to make a huge difference, a huge difference.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: I mean the store is going to stock fresh fruit, vegetables, meat,

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: dairy products, and other things all for free. And that

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: has a huge impact on not just the students themselves,

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: but as I said, the families and everyone connected to

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: those students.

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I remember there was a period, probably about ten years

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: ago that a lot of research was being done in

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: the US about the power of providing breakfast to school

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: children and the impact on concentration nutrition, the knock on

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: impact on the cost of the health system.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because it's actually been in the headlines

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: a bit recently because Kamala Harris's running mate, Tim Wowles

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: was responsible for introducing free lunches in his state in Minnesota. Yeah,

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: that certainly has been back in the new cycle recently.

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: This is a whole another step up.

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is actually kind of the private sector

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: and the not for profit sector coming together. So it's

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: backed by Amazon and by a nonprofit organization called the

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Good If Foundation. The CEO of that foundation said the

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: students can now focus on learning and not on when

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: their next meal is coming from. They can also focus

49
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: on helping their families. The CEO made the point that

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: even the best teachers in the world can't help when

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: a child is hungry, and that educators want to be

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: able to focus not only on the academics, but the

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: child as a whole, and that this is a really

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: unique vehicle for doing that.

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: And it'd be amazing to track this school and to

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: see ten years down the line what the impact of

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: free fruit and veg and free groceries would be in

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the longer term.

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: I do think it's important to note that this is

60
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: being run at a school that is predominantly made up

61
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: of people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. You know, certainly no

62
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: proposition that this is kind of everywhere, but I think

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: is a really interesting and a bit feel good news story.

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to the UK now we're going on a

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: world tour. It's kind of nice Saturday morning. I get

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: a bit frustrated, Zara when I send you a texta

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: what's happened? It's a couple of seconds delayed, and you know, this,

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm in a bad signal area. Yeah, this particular story

69
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: takes that to the extreme.

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: This is a crazy story. So last week the BBC

71
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: published a story about a missing postcard that had finally

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: been delivered not mere seconds later, but one hundred and

73
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: twenty years after it had first been sent.

74
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Better late than never, I say so.

75
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: The postcard was a Christmas message from a man named

76
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Ewet to his sister Lydia in Swansea, Wales. Now it

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: could have arrived before the nineteen oh three winter holiday,

78
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: but somehow it ended up at it's intended address in

79
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.

80
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean it's incredible the address is still there.

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: I know. So even the Royal Mail, which is the

82
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: UK's postal system, was confused about how it turned back up, Like,

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: how does that possibly happen? A spokesperson told the BBC

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: it must have been put back into our system. And

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: that's not even the good news part of this story.

86
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: The good news is that three families in Wales saw

87
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: the BBC article and have now discovered they're related.

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Wow, so it was worth it. One hundred and twenty

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: year was worth.

90
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: It, exactly so. Lydia's great nieces recognized her name on

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: the postcard in the story, while Ewitt's grandson Nick recognized

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: his grandfather's name. Meanwhile, a friend contacted Lydia's great granddaughter

93
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: Faith about the postcard, wondering if she was related. Faith

94
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: told the BBC she didn't even know her great grandmother

95
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: had siblings.

96
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: What an amazing thing to put in the frame, put

97
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: on the wall and realize that it literally grew your

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: family tree to discover it. Also, where was it? They

99
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: literally have no idea. If it was at the bottom

100
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: of a bad egg.

101
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, But I mean the fact that all

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: four have since got in contact with each other and

103
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: have created the sort of family reunion. Like what a

104
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: good news story.

105
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: That's really an amazing story. And I love when an

106
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: old school postcard makes its way back into the news. Now, obviously,

107
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: one of the big world events happening at the moment

108
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: is the Paralympics. There is no shortage of good news

109
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: stories inspiring stories from the Paralympics.

110
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: No, there isn't. But I wanted to just focus on

111
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: one and we did speak about this in another context

112
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, we spoke about the refugee

113
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: Olympic Committee winning its first ever medal. And now the

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: Refugee Paralympic Committee has won its first ever medal. That

115
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: belongs to Zakiya Kuda Daddi, who has become the Refugee

116
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: Paralympic Committee's first ever medal winner.

117
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: So this is a team made up of athletes who

118
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: don't have a country of origin that they can represent

119
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: right now, correct.

120
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: So Kuda Daddi was born in Afghanistan and she won

121
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: bronze in the women's K forty four forty seven kilogram division,

122
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: and that's in taekwondo. She made her Paralympic debut in Tokyo,

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: and I mean, I would really encourage people to read

124
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: a bit about her because she just has an incredible story.

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: But she competed in Tokyo just days after escaping Afghanistan

126
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: and sleeing friends.

127
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I remember her from the Tokyo Yeah, Paralympics. Yeah.

128
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean she has spoken about that that was an

129
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: incredibly distressing time in her life and that you know,

130
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: the Paralympic Games then were really tied to her experiences

131
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: of that time, and that she wanted this to be

132
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity to rewrite that story and that she came

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: into these Paralympic Games saying I will win a medal,

134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: and win a medal. She did as I said, She

135
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: won bronze, and when she was reflecting on the importance

136
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: of sport, she said, sport has been like a light

137
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: and a miracle in my life. From the girl who

138
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: hid her hand behind her scarf, I've become a globally

139
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: recognized athlete. Sport became the miracle that made those around

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: me and my fellow countrymen proud of me. Well. She

141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: also made a comment that I thought we should bring

142
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: in just based on, you know, the news that we

143
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: have been speaking about this week. Obviously on the podcast

144
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: earlier in the week, we spoke about the new restrictions

145
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: that have been imposed on women and girls in Afghanistan,

146
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: her home country, and so this week she added, I

147
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: want to give this medal to the whole world. I

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: hope that one day there will be freedom in my

149
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: country for all the world, for all the girl, for

150
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: all the women, for all the refugees, and that all

151
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: of us work towards that, for liberty and equality.

152
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you say to me, like why do you

153
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: like sports so much? That's why I like sports? So much.

154
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: It is so special the way that sport is used

155
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: as a vehicle to demonstrate and symbolize human progress, resilience,

156
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: all of those stories. There's no better time than the

157
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Paralympics to profile those kind of things. And so this

158
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: is the point where we profile a community good news story.

159
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: This is now going to be the one that you

160
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: went into the community to discover your self.

161
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Source community story. So I was asked to be on

162
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: the judging panel of a competition that I actually had

163
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: never heard of before in my life. It's called the

164
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: three Minute Thesis and the name is very literal. It

165
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: is essentially university PhD students getting up to pitch what

166
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: their PhD is about and what their research is aiming

167
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: to do in three minutes. So this competition originated in

168
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: the eighties from the University of Queensland. I was told

169
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: that it actually comes from a professor standing in the

170
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: shower and trying to think about how he would describe

171
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: his work in the time that it took to take

172
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: a shower. I like that, again, very literal. And now

173
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: it's this huge competition and it's just it's a really

174
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: interesting room to be in. And so I was on

175
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: the panel that was judging unsw in Sydney's latest entrance,

176
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: and so there were finalists. There were eighteen of them,

177
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: and I got to sit there and listen to eighteen

178
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: remarkable individuals pitched their solutions to kind of the problems

179
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: plaguing the world. And as we've said many times on

180
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: this podcast before, so often we spend time talking about,

181
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, climate change and health impacts and all of

182
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: these things that are really heavy and really negative. And

183
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: here I was sitting in a room with eighteen young

184
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: people having their solutions put forward for everyone else to

185
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: see and to understand and to access, and I just

186
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: found it the most uplifting moment to be a part of.

187
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: The winner was Lily Hatwell, and she used her three

188
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: minutes to talk about her feet, which is about breast

189
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 2: cancer treatments. And this was a really dense topic and

190
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: yet she was able to, in kind of a TDA way,

191
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: describe it really accessibly, really digestibly, and made people like

192
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 2: me who have absolutely no idea how science works, really

193
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: understand it. So she won that prize, and I was

194
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: just so inspired by hearing people from all different backgrounds,

195
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: from all over the world, from every kind of lived

196
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: experience under the sun, coming into one room to talk

197
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: about their solutions to society's biggest problems.

198
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. I mean it is great. It is very

199
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: tda to try and summarize a thesis that you've worked

200
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: for years on.

201
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's why, you know, I had a

202
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: bit of imposter syndrome when I was walking into the room,

203
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: being like, I am not the right person to judge

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: these very smart people and their very smart work. But ultimately,

205
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: what it came down to is how they can communicate

206
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: that work and whether they can communicate it to someone

207
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: like me who doesn't have a background in that. So,

208
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 2: you know, really interesting experience and I was really glad

209
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: to source my community story from an in real life event.

210
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Incredible. Now let's go with our personal recommendations. Let's start

211
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: with you. You're on the role.

212
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Oh god, I've been speaking a lot. Okay, So my

213
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: recommendation doesn't feel original this week because I think everyone

214
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: has recommended it to everyone in their life. But it

215
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: is the Assembly on ABC if you haven't heard about it.

216
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Lee s Ales takes a group of autistic students through

217
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: the journalism process and she brings in a whole host

218
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: of high profile interviewees to a room with these incredible

219
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: journalists and they are basically free to ask whatever they

220
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: like of these high profile guests, some of whom include

221
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: Haymish Blake, our Prime Minister, Sam Neil. You know, people

222
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: from kind of all walks of life. I think even

223
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: if you don't work in media or journalism, this is

224
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: something that you should watch. It goes to the heart

225
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: of kind of human curiosity. These students are asking such

226
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: deep and nuanced questions and I think that it was

227
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: just a brilliant TV show that everyone should watch this

228
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: weekend if they get a chance. What about you, Sam So?

229
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: I did a panel this week for the Festival of

230
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Dangerous Ideas, which is a series of talks put on

231
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: in Sydney every year, and the panel was about the

232
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: generational golf and the differences between Gen Z or Millennials,

233
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: gen Y baby boomers, and then all the way through

234
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: to there was a geriatric expert on the panel who

235
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: talks about old people and I feel like there's such

236
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: a narrative at the moment around what separates these generations

237
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: and that the golf was getting wider and wider. And

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: we had one of the world experts in generational research.

239
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Her name is Gene Tweny. She is from a university

240
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: in the US. She basically, you know, leads the way

241
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: on this kind of thinking. And what she said was

242
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: that gen z are getting a bad rap, but in

243
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: fact they're actually more open to intergenerational connection than other generations,

244
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: and that we should be looking to the younger cohort

245
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: of young adults in leading the way between how do

246
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: we get younger people to live in old age homes

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: to solve a housing crisis? Or how do we like this?

248
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: So many interesting ways to bridge those golfs. I just

249
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: found it a really uplifting discussion on the news topic

250
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: that is often about what separates us.

251
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: Is there any reading that you'd recommend for anyone who

252
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: wants to learn more?

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a video of Gene talking a couple of

254
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: years ago. I'll throw it in today's show notes worth

255
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: a watch. Such an interesting area of research. She's written

256
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: a couple of books as well, and seems to be

257
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: the generation guru.

258
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: That's it for another rap of the good news this week.

259
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920
