WEBVTT - Interview Highlight: Tess and Polly from 'Nothing's Off Limits'

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:05.760
<v S1>Welcome to this podcast made possible by Vision Australia Radio.

0:00:05.910 --> 0:00:09.539
<v S1>Your community radio station visit via Radio dot org for

0:00:09.539 --> 0:00:12.930
<v S1>more information on Vision Australia radio and our podcasts.

0:00:13.410 --> 0:00:15.630
<v S2>Well, hopefully last week you caught up with the first

0:00:15.630 --> 0:00:19.439
<v S2>episode of Nothing's Off Limits. If you didn't, well, shame

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.599
<v S2>on you, but you can't make up for it because

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.210
<v S2>there's lots more episodes to come. To tell us more about,

0:00:24.210 --> 0:00:27.930
<v S2>we've got Polly Goodwin and Tess Herbert. Polly, how are you?

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.030
<v S3>I'm ready. Grandstand's Peter, how are you?

0:00:30.060 --> 0:00:32.519
<v S2>Terrific as well, and it's so great to catch up

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:32.970
<v S2>with you again.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.550
<v S4>It's lovely to chat with you again, Peter. It's a real,

0:00:35.550 --> 0:00:36.270
<v S4>real pleasure.

0:00:36.340 --> 0:00:38.580
<v S2>Well, Polly, we spoke to you when this was getting

0:00:38.580 --> 0:00:41.430
<v S2>off the ground a few months ago. Now, for those

0:00:41.430 --> 0:00:43.730
<v S2>that might have missed that or might be aware of that,

0:00:43.740 --> 0:00:46.110
<v S2>the background of nothing's off limits. Just a bit about that.

0:00:46.140 --> 0:00:48.870
<v S3>That's right. Gosh, yes, it was a while back now,

0:00:48.870 --> 0:00:52.260
<v S3>wasn't it? So Nothing's Off Limits is a 10 part

0:00:52.260 --> 0:00:56.310
<v S3>series being broadcast on Virgin Australia Radio, but also available

0:00:56.310 --> 0:00:59.040
<v S3>as a podcast. And the idea is we wanted to

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.850
<v S3>get expert people with lived experience together to talk about

0:01:02.850 --> 0:01:06.870
<v S3>some of the really challenging topics that we avoid or

0:01:06.870 --> 0:01:09.839
<v S3>don't know how to start the conversation around and talk

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.380
<v S3>specifically through the lens of blindness and innovation. So we've

0:01:13.380 --> 0:01:17.340
<v S3>pulled together 10 episodes each on a different topic, and

0:01:17.340 --> 0:01:20.130
<v S3>we've had some amazing guests, haven't we test that have

0:01:20.130 --> 0:01:22.980
<v S3>come in and just been so generous with their experience

0:01:22.980 --> 0:01:25.589
<v S3>and their their wisdom that they've learned. So that's been

0:01:25.590 --> 0:01:26.370
<v S3>such a joy.

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.590
<v S2>Tess, tell us a bit about your involvement then.

0:01:28.860 --> 0:01:33.800
<v S4>Well, Peter, I actually interviewed Polly for Nothing's Off Limits

0:01:33.819 --> 0:01:38.340
<v S4>on Talking Vision, which was quite wonderful late last year,

0:01:38.340 --> 0:01:40.560
<v S4>and that was the first I'd heard of it. But

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.250
<v S4>then after that interview, we had such great chemistry as

0:01:44.250 --> 0:01:46.410
<v S4>one of the most fun interviews I ever did. Early

0:01:46.410 --> 0:01:51.120
<v S4>this year, Polly contacted me and asked me to be co-host,

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.600
<v S4>and I said yes because I had heard a lot

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.510
<v S4>about nothing's off limits by then, and I knew that

0:01:57.510 --> 0:02:00.090
<v S4>it really delved into some of those tricky topics that

0:02:00.090 --> 0:02:03.780
<v S4>maybe didn't get talked about for blindness and low vision perspective.

0:02:03.780 --> 0:02:06.540
<v S4>And as someone who's blind myself and I know who

0:02:06.540 --> 0:02:08.910
<v S4>would have loved those kind of resources when I was younger,

0:02:09.180 --> 0:02:11.280
<v S4>I just thought it was such a wonderful project. And

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.190
<v S4>so I, yeah, that's how I became to get involved.

0:02:14.190 --> 0:02:17.790
<v S4>And it's just been the most wonderfully rewarding project to

0:02:17.790 --> 0:02:18.550
<v S4>be part of Polly.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.230
<v S2>It's very well known, just that the podcast, the programme.

0:02:21.300 --> 0:02:25.770
<v S3>It absolutely is. And as I say, hats off. Enormous

0:02:25.770 --> 0:02:28.440
<v S3>thanks to our guests because they've been so open and

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.530
<v S3>so frank about some, some really difficult topics, actually. And

0:02:31.530 --> 0:02:34.590
<v S3>whether they're difficult because they're some we're talking about mental

0:02:34.590 --> 0:02:38.250
<v S3>health or whether they're difficult just because everyone's faces, you

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.310
<v S3>go bright red at that point. I think that, yeah,

0:02:41.310 --> 0:02:44.040
<v S3>we've really kind of pushed the the title to the limit.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.570
<v S3>So I think that's particularly interesting discussions now.

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.750
<v S2>Last week's show were the first show Tess has gone

0:02:51.750 --> 0:02:54.120
<v S2>through where and if people have missed it, they can

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.060
<v S2>get it from the podcast page. So wherever they get

0:02:57.060 --> 0:03:00.420
<v S2>at their podcasts and Australia radio, nothing's off limits as

0:03:00.419 --> 0:03:02.820
<v S2>part of that as well. Well, I can get it

0:03:02.820 --> 0:03:05.430
<v S2>to their podcast catch as well. Tell us a bit

0:03:05.430 --> 0:03:07.440
<v S2>about last week's show, then it does get a little

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.410
<v S2>bit more. Well, shall we say, as sensitive as the

0:03:10.410 --> 0:03:11.340
<v S2>series goes on.

0:03:11.940 --> 0:03:15.480
<v S4>It does feature you're quite right. So yes, the first

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.350
<v S4>episode aired on Vision Australia Radio and can be downloaded

0:03:19.350 --> 0:03:23.639
<v S4>now as a podcast, and that was about nutrition and exercise.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.880
<v S4>So physical wellbeing, as we call it, physical health and wellbeing.

0:03:27.180 --> 0:03:30.210
<v S4>And we had a couple of fantastic guests with lived

0:03:30.210 --> 0:03:36.020
<v S4>experience of keeping fit and healthy and overcoming obstacles of

0:03:36.030 --> 0:03:38.400
<v S4>blindness and low vision to do that. And we had

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.050
<v S4>a really interesting chat with Tyler in the US, who

0:03:43.230 --> 0:03:47.070
<v S4>has actually created his own series of audio fitness apps

0:03:47.070 --> 0:03:50.370
<v S4>where there's some great descriptions of workouts that people can

0:03:50.370 --> 0:03:53.070
<v S4>do to keep fit. So we really got a lot

0:03:53.070 --> 0:03:56.970
<v S4>of insights, and Jason, who is a bodybuilder, he talked

0:03:56.970 --> 0:03:59.460
<v S4>to us as well about how he keeps fit and healthy,

0:03:59.460 --> 0:04:02.310
<v S4>and they both had some great insights as to nutrition.

0:04:02.310 --> 0:04:05.790
<v S4>So it was a fantastic first episode, and we're really

0:04:05.790 --> 0:04:08.700
<v S4>hoping that people get a lot out of that because,

0:04:08.910 --> 0:04:11.130
<v S4>you know, I know as someone who's blind myself, it

0:04:11.130 --> 0:04:13.920
<v S4>can be very tricky figuring out how to, you know,

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.960
<v S4>how to do a workout, how to stay fit and healthy.

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.390
<v S4>So I'm hoping that will be really useful to our listeners.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.970
<v S2>Jason, what is a great young man? He is a

0:04:20.970 --> 0:04:23.789
<v S2>real estate agent by day, if you like, but he

0:04:23.790 --> 0:04:25.560
<v S2>does a lot of things by night, if we might

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.719
<v S2>put it that way. And he's also very, very keen

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.719
<v S2>to get other people involved with things like the bodybuilding.

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.719
<v S2>I know that's one of his passions and not just

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.969
<v S2>because he likes to do it or he thinks it's

0:04:35.970 --> 0:04:38.180
<v S2>a good thing, but he likes others to get involved.

0:04:38.190 --> 0:04:41.219
<v S2>It's a really tremendous attitude for for a person to

0:04:41.220 --> 0:04:43.260
<v S2>have probably been. As I said, it does get a

0:04:43.260 --> 0:04:46.169
<v S2>little bit more, well, a bit more sensitive. And I

0:04:46.170 --> 0:04:48.720
<v S2>guess that's part of the raison d'etre of the program,

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.050
<v S2>isn't it?

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.539
<v S3>That's right. We thought we'd break people in easily with

0:04:51.550 --> 0:04:54.930
<v S3>the more approachable topic. But yes, we do move on

0:04:54.930 --> 0:04:59.430
<v S3>to some. Some really, yes, some quite challenging topics. So some.

0:04:59.779 --> 0:05:02.480
<v S3>We're doing one on mental health, and obviously we're very

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.850
<v S3>aware that that may bring up some issues for people,

0:05:04.850 --> 0:05:07.340
<v S3>but we hope. I mean, the 30 minutes just isn't

0:05:07.339 --> 0:05:09.469
<v S3>enough to cover any of these, really, but we're really

0:05:09.470 --> 0:05:12.109
<v S3>hoping that these are starts of the conversations. So giving

0:05:12.110 --> 0:05:16.609
<v S3>you some signposting, exploring some of the questions that I

0:05:16.610 --> 0:05:20.630
<v S3>think really need to be talked about. We are also

0:05:20.630 --> 0:05:23.330
<v S3>looking at sort of I'm laughing out of nerves here,

0:05:23.330 --> 0:05:25.230
<v S3>which just goes to show how they are off limits.

0:05:25.450 --> 0:05:27.920
<v S3>Some more fruity programs, shall we say. So we've got

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.650
<v S3>one on dating, which was a lot of fun to do.

0:05:30.650 --> 0:05:33.950
<v S3>Some really great hits coming out of that. Some more

0:05:33.950 --> 0:05:38.060
<v S3>stories as well from our guests. And then we're doing

0:05:38.060 --> 0:05:41.000
<v S3>one as one on adult entertainment services and products, which

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:46.040
<v S3>was so fascinating. And we learned a lot about, I guess,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.560
<v S3>some of the challenges around accessing some of those things.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.859
<v S3>But also, you know, some really helpful strategies about how

0:05:51.860 --> 0:05:53.539
<v S3>to find out what's out there, how to find out

0:05:53.540 --> 0:05:55.940
<v S3>what's right for you. And I think the last two

0:05:55.940 --> 0:05:59.870
<v S3>episodes I'm very excited about because they were both directly

0:05:59.990 --> 0:06:04.640
<v S3>suggested by the community and ones around the specific experiences

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.520
<v S3>of being low vision. And we've broken out into a

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.039
<v S3>panel format for that, which was a lot of fun

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.670
<v S3>but just really insightful. And then the last episode is

0:06:13.670 --> 0:06:16.880
<v S3>around kind of identity and community and that really challenging

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.300
<v S3>subject of disclosure as well. So we do a whistle

0:06:20.300 --> 0:06:22.789
<v S3>stop tour through all of the hard questions. But as

0:06:22.790 --> 0:06:24.349
<v S3>I say, we hope these are just the start of

0:06:24.350 --> 0:06:27.320
<v S3>conversations for you to go on and talk about with

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.200
<v S3>friends and families and your friends.

0:06:29.210 --> 0:06:32.690
<v S2>So that's on Wednesday evenings across the Vision Australia network.

0:06:32.690 --> 0:06:36.169
<v S2>So in Adelaide, it's on tonight after this particular program

0:06:36.170 --> 0:06:39.560
<v S2>or nine o'clock anyway, and then also in Melbourne and

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.440
<v S2>Perth and also being repeated on the weekend tested the

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.230
<v S2>mental health thing. I mean, that's really become much more,

0:06:45.710 --> 0:06:49.070
<v S2>shall we say, mainstream if there's such a title since

0:06:49.070 --> 0:06:51.260
<v S2>COVID has broken out, I mean, people seem much more

0:06:51.260 --> 0:06:53.840
<v S2>comfortable to talk about mental health these days.

0:06:53.870 --> 0:06:56.779
<v S4>Yes, I think I think you're right, Peter. And also

0:06:56.779 --> 0:07:00.260
<v S4>with the introduction of telehealth, perhaps people have felt more

0:07:00.260 --> 0:07:05.300
<v S4>comfortable to access some different mental health services. We spoke

0:07:05.300 --> 0:07:09.169
<v S4>to two different guests, so one guest had lived experience

0:07:09.170 --> 0:07:11.540
<v S4>and was able to, but also had training as a

0:07:11.540 --> 0:07:16.040
<v S4>psychologist and was able to talk about mental health from

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.070
<v S4>a disability from a perspective of somebody with a disability.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.040
<v S4>And then we also talked to a pediatric counsellor who'd

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.530
<v S4>worked for many, many years with young people dealing with

0:07:24.770 --> 0:07:27.620
<v S4>issues of mental health and disability. So we really got

0:07:27.620 --> 0:07:30.260
<v S4>two different spectrums, which I think will really help, because

0:07:30.260 --> 0:07:32.720
<v S4>what a lot of people don't realise is that disability

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.380
<v S4>and mental health can be quite interconnected, and sometimes there

0:07:36.380 --> 0:07:40.250
<v S4>are separate issues that people who have a disability might

0:07:40.250 --> 0:07:44.960
<v S4>face with their mental health in terms of grief, loss, acceptance, commitment,

0:07:45.050 --> 0:07:47.540
<v S4>you know, all those kind of things. So I think

0:07:47.540 --> 0:07:49.400
<v S4>it was really good to talk about all of that

0:07:49.580 --> 0:07:50.240
<v S4>in the third

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.510
<v S2>episode and possibly also tackle society as well.

0:07:53.540 --> 0:07:56.570
<v S3>That's right. Yes, that's episode the next episode coming up

0:07:56.570 --> 0:07:59.480
<v S3>so straight after your program. And we've kind of taken

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.700
<v S3>it from two angles ones about how you can be

0:08:01.700 --> 0:08:04.160
<v S3>safe in your home, and some have some really practical

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.400
<v S3>skills to make sure that you're in control of your environment.

0:08:07.730 --> 0:08:09.860
<v S3>But then we also had a couple of guests come

0:08:09.860 --> 0:08:12.590
<v S3>in to help us explore how you can be confident

0:08:12.590 --> 0:08:15.890
<v S3>moving around in different environments. What are some of the

0:08:15.890 --> 0:08:18.950
<v S3>tips and tricks about making sure that you are in

0:08:18.950 --> 0:08:22.100
<v S3>control of the situation? And I thought that was, I

0:08:22.100 --> 0:08:24.080
<v S3>don't know about you, Tess, but I came away with

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.600
<v S3>so many learnings from that episode. In particular, I think

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.390
<v S3>about just some really good strategies about what you can do.

0:08:29.420 --> 0:08:31.730
<v S4>Absolutely. I would agree with that. I think we had

0:08:31.730 --> 0:08:34.310
<v S4>some really great guests who came at it from different,

0:08:34.309 --> 0:08:37.760
<v S4>different directions, everything from orientation or ability to knowing your

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.820
<v S4>rights and body language. That was a fantastic episode, and

0:08:40.820 --> 0:08:43.790
<v S4>I'm hoping that our listeners will really, really get a

0:08:43.790 --> 0:08:45.170
<v S4>lot out of that next Wednesday.

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.630
<v S2>Just full disclosure on my part. I was actually asked

0:08:47.630 --> 0:08:50.210
<v S2>to answer a few questions as part of this series,

0:08:50.210 --> 0:08:52.790
<v S2>and obviously a lot of people must have dropped out

0:08:52.790 --> 0:08:54.740
<v S2>and they must have run out of paper rings. So

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.220
<v S2>I was code for for a couple of hours. But

0:08:57.410 --> 0:08:59.510
<v S2>you know, the people that were putting it together said, Yeah,

0:08:59.510 --> 0:09:02.090
<v S2>you can be serious or you can be funny or,

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.920
<v S2>you know, if you want to hear your answers back

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.290
<v S2>or it's going to reveal your answers or indeed, if

0:09:06.290 --> 0:09:08.569
<v S2>you don't want your answers to go to where you

0:09:08.570 --> 0:09:10.650
<v S2>can do that, as well as so no one's been pressured,

0:09:10.650 --> 0:09:12.820
<v S2>no has been put in a position where. But yeah,

0:09:12.830 --> 0:09:15.500
<v S2>I wish I hadn't said that or I feel uncomfortable

0:09:15.500 --> 0:09:19.250
<v S2>answering that and did it by, yeah, feeling like they

0:09:19.250 --> 0:09:21.170
<v S2>need to tell you there's nothing like that that's going

0:09:21.170 --> 0:09:22.699
<v S2>on as far as this goes. Is there?

0:09:22.730 --> 0:09:28.400
<v S4>No, no. We're very aware that we are covering topics

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.030
<v S4>that can be very personal for people, sometimes very triggering

0:09:32.030 --> 0:09:34.460
<v S4>when we start to talk about mental health and body image.

0:09:34.700 --> 0:09:38.329
<v S4>So whether we're doing the Vox Pops or the guests,

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.420
<v S4>it's very important to us that people are aware that

0:09:41.420 --> 0:09:44.300
<v S4>we only talk about what they're comfortable to talk about.

0:09:44.570 --> 0:09:47.330
<v S4>And if they are not comfortable with what they have

0:09:47.330 --> 0:09:50.569
<v S4>said with what has been recorded, we can change it.

0:09:50.809 --> 0:09:54.110
<v S4>So it's very much about making sure that our guests

0:09:54.110 --> 0:09:57.800
<v S4>or the people participating in the box pops are comfortable

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.480
<v S4>and well and truly in control of. Process and don't

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.970
<v S4>have to worry about going back and saying things again

0:10:02.970 --> 0:10:05.730
<v S4>or taking bits out because, you know, I mean, especially

0:10:05.730 --> 0:10:08.520
<v S4>those workshops, it is. So I mean, I guess and

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.690
<v S4>ever so important, hearing those stories from people with lived

0:10:12.690 --> 0:10:15.900
<v S4>experience of blindness and low vision as well as experts.

0:10:16.140 --> 0:10:20.010
<v S4>It's just wonderful and actually hearing the voices not just

0:10:20.010 --> 0:10:22.350
<v S4>not just reports, but actually hearing the voices in the

0:10:22.350 --> 0:10:24.510
<v S4>Vox Pops, I think is going to be at a

0:10:24.510 --> 0:10:27.510
<v S4>real richness to it. So it's very important that everyone

0:10:27.510 --> 0:10:31.050
<v S4>feels comfortable and that they are. The boundaries are very

0:10:31.050 --> 0:10:32.040
<v S4>much respected,

0:10:32.070 --> 0:10:35.170
<v S3>yet test is absolutely right. And that's a great great question, Peter.

0:10:35.190 --> 0:10:37.890
<v S3>I think, you know, whilst it's called, nothing's off limits,

0:10:37.890 --> 0:10:39.719
<v S3>the only thing that were off limits were things which

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.630
<v S3>people weren't comfortable talking about, and we were lucky to

0:10:42.630 --> 0:10:45.060
<v S3>be able to pre record everything so that all of

0:10:45.059 --> 0:10:46.500
<v S3>our guests can kind of go away and have a

0:10:46.500 --> 0:10:49.350
<v S3>think and we can re-edit around what they're comfortable with.

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.780
<v S2>This is a focal point here on Vision Australia writing

0:10:51.780 --> 0:10:54.690
<v S2>Westpac to public good, but in Test Urban about nothing's

0:10:54.690 --> 0:10:57.750
<v S2>off limits. The brand new program that's just started on

0:10:57.750 --> 0:11:00.449
<v S2>Vision Australia radio at nine o'clock Wednesday evenings on the

0:11:00.450 --> 0:11:04.859
<v S2>visually writing network, also repeated on weekends. Polly was there

0:11:04.860 --> 0:11:07.020
<v S2>one thing that stood out for you as far as

0:11:07.020 --> 0:11:09.530
<v S2>this goes? And then I'll ask the same question

0:11:09.540 --> 0:11:12.720
<v S3>Oh, do I only get one? Oh, Peter, oh yes.

0:11:12.730 --> 0:11:15.250
<v S2>Nothing is off limits. Only one thing's off. Why do

0:11:15.270 --> 0:11:15.840
<v S2>you choose?

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.800
<v S3>Oh my word. Okay? Erm, I think the thing that

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.550
<v S3>struck me most was, I think in a mental health episode,

0:11:23.550 --> 0:11:27.240
<v S3>which was so many interesting stories and so much good

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.430
<v S3>advice came out. But the thing that really struck me

0:11:29.429 --> 0:11:31.890
<v S3>was the advice that I had had to be proactive

0:11:31.890 --> 0:11:34.170
<v S3>about your mental health. So in the same way as

0:11:34.170 --> 0:11:36.599
<v S3>you know, you might go for a brisk walk or,

0:11:36.630 --> 0:11:39.000
<v S3>you know, mind eating healthily or whatever it be to

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.640
<v S3>kind of take that proactive approach to your physical health.

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.860
<v S3>The idea that there are steps you can take to

0:11:43.860 --> 0:11:46.230
<v S3>kind of bolster your mental health as well, not just

0:11:46.230 --> 0:11:48.390
<v S3>when you're in a period of crisis. And that was

0:11:48.390 --> 0:11:51.329
<v S3>a very powerful thing for me to test me.

0:11:51.330 --> 0:11:55.709
<v S4>I would say that happened with the episode on dating.

0:11:56.670 --> 0:11:59.730
<v S4>So we spoke to three different guests who just had

0:11:59.730 --> 0:12:03.900
<v S4>so many wonderful, wonderful things to say about that. And

0:12:03.900 --> 0:12:06.839
<v S4>I felt like I really learned a lot about how

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.170
<v S4>we can pick up on a lot of non-visual clues

0:12:10.410 --> 0:12:12.839
<v S4>to make sure that, you know, the person we're going

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.059
<v S4>out on a date with is comfortable and how we

0:12:15.059 --> 0:12:16.710
<v S4>can give a lot of clues, you know, are just

0:12:16.710 --> 0:12:20.040
<v S4>so many great tips and strategies that they gave and

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.890
<v S4>taking dating from all sorts of different directions. So not

0:12:22.890 --> 0:12:25.170
<v S4>everyone use the online apps, but a lot of the

0:12:25.170 --> 0:12:28.770
<v S4>advice was quite similar in terms of how important body

0:12:28.770 --> 0:12:32.100
<v S4>language is, how important it is to engage with confidence

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.940
<v S4>and how you really can. You know, visual yes, visual

0:12:35.940 --> 0:12:39.030
<v S4>body language is can be important, but it's not the

0:12:39.030 --> 0:12:40.560
<v S4>be all and end all. And I think that was

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.960
<v S4>a really, really powerful thing that I took from that,

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.360
<v S4>that we really can use so many different things to

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.859
<v S4>communicate when we're on a date.

0:12:46.950 --> 0:12:49.980
<v S2>OK, so this 10 episodes, the first one's gone to air,

0:12:49.980 --> 0:12:53.980
<v S2>but it is available through the podcast app or through

0:12:54.250 --> 0:12:57.179
<v S2>Australia's website, and you can podcast that nothing is off

0:12:57.179 --> 0:12:59.430
<v S2>limits to what to look for. Holly, thank you so

0:12:59.429 --> 0:13:01.530
<v S2>much for speaking to us. Anything you'd like to sign

0:13:01.530 --> 0:13:04.590
<v S2>in closing, obviously, we are encouraging people to listen in,

0:13:04.590 --> 0:13:06.780
<v S2>and if they can't hear it live to air, then

0:13:07.020 --> 0:13:08.760
<v S2>they can certainly podcast. I think one of the great

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.170
<v S2>things about this particular venture, if you like, is often

0:13:13.170 --> 0:13:14.790
<v S2>we hear all you know you can podcast this or

0:13:14.809 --> 0:13:17.939
<v S2>podcast that was, oh, I don't know, the podcast. I

0:13:17.940 --> 0:13:21.180
<v S2>don't like podcasts. The great thing about this particular show

0:13:21.179 --> 0:13:23.670
<v S2>is you can hear it the old fashioned way, like

0:13:23.670 --> 0:13:25.559
<v S2>on the radio. And even if you miss it, if

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.270
<v S2>you'd like to hear it again and go to the website.

0:13:27.270 --> 0:13:29.670
<v S2>So I think that's a fantastic initiative.

0:13:29.700 --> 0:13:33.450
<v S3>Yeah, that's absolutely right. And someone described podcast brilliantly to

0:13:33.450 --> 0:13:36.130
<v S3>me the other day as showing my age here. A

0:13:36.150 --> 0:13:38.460
<v S3>podcast is really no different from when you recorded something

0:13:38.460 --> 0:13:40.470
<v S3>off the radio and listened to it again later, which

0:13:40.470 --> 0:13:42.360
<v S3>is saving you the bottom of having to record it

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.700
<v S3>in the first place. So yet you can head on

0:13:44.700 --> 0:13:47.370
<v S3>to our website. Also, I should add that with each episode,

0:13:47.370 --> 0:13:50.699
<v S3>we've pulled together a resources sheet that you can download,

0:13:50.700 --> 0:13:53.310
<v S3>so that sort of anything that was mentioned in the podcast,

0:13:53.309 --> 0:13:55.440
<v S3>all of those links and addresses will be in there

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.120
<v S3>and some other things that we didn't have time to

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.179
<v S3>put in as well. So do check it out on there.

0:14:00.179 --> 0:14:01.319
<v S3>Nothing's off limits page.

0:14:01.350 --> 0:14:03.510
<v S2>Terrific. Tess, good to catch up with you again. I'm

0:14:03.510 --> 0:14:06.960
<v S2>sure this might be the last time we hear from you. And, well, congratulations.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.470
<v S2>I've heard the first step aside. I actually I missed

0:14:10.470 --> 0:14:11.820
<v S2>it on the radio. Well, actually, I was on the

0:14:11.820 --> 0:14:14.819
<v S2>way home from the radio station that particular night, so

0:14:14.820 --> 0:14:18.270
<v S2>I missed it. But I did download certainly those people

0:14:18.270 --> 0:14:21.210
<v S2>who download any of our stuff. It's quite straightforward to download,

0:14:21.220 --> 0:14:23.820
<v S2>so they should have any problems too. So thank you.

0:14:23.940 --> 0:14:26.220
<v S4>Thank you, Peter, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it

0:14:26.220 --> 0:14:27.820
<v S4>and I hope everyone else does as well.

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.790
<v S2>I'm looking forward to some of the but they probably

0:14:29.790 --> 0:14:31.710
<v S2>say freaky stuff that's coming up later.

0:14:34.220 --> 0:14:37.560
<v S3>Yes. Yes. We're not under promising there. No.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.450
<v S2>OK, well, yeah. But if I deliver, we'll get you back. Mike,

0:14:42.450 --> 0:14:43.050
<v S2>you explain

0:14:43.890 --> 0:14:45.480
<v S4>any lead feedback?

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.050
<v S2>Well, the thing is to just quickly, if people got

0:14:49.050 --> 0:14:51.750
<v S2>any responses to it, they can get in touch the

0:14:51.750 --> 0:14:55.410
<v S2>usual ways about it because I'm sure with anything when

0:14:55.410 --> 0:14:58.380
<v S2>it comes to broadcasting, you sort of love doing it,

0:14:58.380 --> 0:15:01.860
<v S2>but it's also nice. Get some feedback and constructive criticism

0:15:01.860 --> 0:15:02.790
<v S2>is welcome as well.

0:15:02.820 --> 0:15:06.390
<v S3>Absolutely. We we were so welcome any feedback you have

0:15:06.390 --> 0:15:08.640
<v S3>if we get the opportunity to do a second series,

0:15:08.650 --> 0:15:10.770
<v S3>we want to improve it. We want to make it

0:15:10.770 --> 0:15:13.560
<v S3>reflect what our listeners want so you can drop us

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.550
<v S3>an email that nothing's off limits at Vision Australia dot org.

0:15:17.850 --> 0:15:20.740
<v S3>No apostrophe. So sorry for the grammar nuts, but that's

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.070
<v S3>there aren't apostrophes in email address. It's not something else

0:15:23.070 --> 0:15:24.030
<v S3>I learned in this project.

0:15:24.990 --> 0:15:26.850
<v S2>Someone just sent me a text saying, Can you make

0:15:26.850 --> 0:15:28.350
<v S2>it more free to you next time? So I'm not

0:15:28.350 --> 0:15:31.310
<v S2>quite sure what they're about, but I really want to

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.260
<v S2>leave it there. I like so much. Thanks so much,

0:15:34.260 --> 0:15:35.460
<v S2>Polly and Tess. Appreciate that.
