    TSHP511: Gossip, rumours and conspiracy theories 

    TSHP511: Gossip, rumours and conspiracy theories 

    Social media is full of conspiracy theories. Currently those about Katherine Princess of Wales are rife. There is great interest, in certain groups, as to whether the stories about her abdominal surgery and public appearance and photograph are real or fake. The thing that interests Ed and I is why is it so important? What is it about gossip and rumour that we all get so hooked up in?

    TSHP510: Good things about where you live

    TSHP510: Good things about where you live

    The idea of needing to get away would suggest that where we are is never really good enough. I get it that the act of taking a break, of doing something different, is stimulating and often relaxing but the question got me thinking about do we appreciate where we are and what we have? Are we able to enjoy the space that we live in.

    TSHP508: The Power of a Smile

    Following on from last weeks look at the potential of global conflict. A listener reminded me of this and asked ‘why don’t we just encourage everybody to smile at each other?’ An excellent question! Let's discuss...

    TSHP507: War – Is it ever right?

    Ed and I did a similar episode in 2019. The issues of war and potentially a world war were on us then and, sadly, very little seems to have changed. Over the last few months the people visiting my consulting room have been more and more concerned about the potential for another world war. We need to talk about potential conflict...

    TSHP506: It’s 2024! A year of choices…

    Ok, so it is New Year!



    Standing at the beginning of 2024 you, and I, will be making choices about how and what this year will be. 2023 will certainly be a year to remember and for many perhaps a year to forget. People tell me that is is as though it never happened or that with the aftermath of covid and the financial crisis one they will never forget.

So hard to listen to..

I’m really bummed out. I was very excited to listen to this podcast and learn some things but it is the most difficult podcast I’ve ever tried to listen to. The dialogue is awful on the sense of saying “yeah” back and forth 500 times to each other and I couldn’t even make it longer than five minutes and that was forcing myself in hopes it would get better. I am super under whelmed and disappointed
