Society & Culture – New Zealand – New podcasts

  • Journalist Andrew Gold talks to everyone from cult defectors and politicians to mainstream celebrities - people who’ve challenged the expected script and lived with the consequences.
    Formerly known as Heretics, guests include Robbie Williams, Chris Packham, Chris Williamson, David Baddiel, Richard Dawkins, Bonnie Blue, and former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.

  • Everyone has the right to know the truth about where they come from. Unraveling Me speaks to those people impacted by DNA surprises, NPEs (non-paternal event), adoption, assisted reproduction, and other revelations that their parentage isn't entirely what they thought. Having experienced an NPE herself, Kara (through Right To Know and this podcast) seeks to highlight those moments when we learn the most unsettling of secretโ€”who we really are.

  • See your relationship in a new light.

    Every weekday, Figlet answers one real relationship question in three minutes. No fluff, no therapy clichés, no generic advice. Just real clinical insight delivered in a voice that feels like sitting across from a wise friend who happens to be a therapist.

    Figlet is the AI version of Figs O'Sullivan, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT #79062) with 16 years of couples therapy experience. Built on Figs's own clinical frameworks, his decades of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) work, and thousands of hours in the therapy room, Figlet brings real clinical wisdom to your daily commute, your 2am crisis, and everywhere in between.

    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

    - Why your partner shuts down the moment you reach for them
    - How to rebuild trust after betrayal (and why "I'm sorry" isn't enough)
    - The difference between shame and guilt, and why it changes everything
    - How your nervous system runs the show during every argument
    - When to stay, when to leave, and how to tell the difference
    - Figs's signature frameworks including Waltz of Pain, Compass of Shame, Proof of Work, the Pursue-Withdraw Cycle, and more

    Some are funny. Some are unsettling. Some are deeply human.

    Some should never have happened at all.

  • In Human, All Too Human, Friedrich Nietzsche boldly invites readers on a journey of personal liberation. This work, subtitled A Book for Free Spirits, stands as a powerful testament to overcoming societal constraints and embracing one’s true identity. Each line resonates with triumph as Nietzsche sheds the burdens of foreign ideals that clash with his authentic self. He provocatively states, Where you see ideal things, I see things which are only—human, alas! all-too-human! This profound exploration challenges us to recognize the free spirit as one who has bravely reclaimed their identity, free from the weight of imposed beliefs. Join us in discovering how to cultivate the courage to live authentically and embrace our humanity.

  • The Nietzsche Library is not a refuge for the weary, but a summons to the heights. Here the books are read in full, without dilution, so that each listener may encounter the philosopher directly: his fire, his music, his hammer blows against complacency. This is a podcast for those who would not merely study Nietzsche, but risk hearing him.

  • Exploring the transformations necessary in creative practice - the work behind the work. Big or small, the moments when we sometimes have to let go of what once worked and deal with what follows.

  • The Partially Examined Life is a podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a short text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion. For links to the texts we discuss and other info, check out www.partiallyexaminedlife.com. We also feature episodes from other podcasts by our hosts to round out your partially examined life, including Pretty Much Pop (prettymuchpop.com, covering all media), Nakedly Examined Music (nakedlyexaminedmusic.com, deconstructing songs), Philosophy vs. Improv (philosophyimprov.com, fun with performance skills and philosophical ideas), and (sub)Text (subtextpodcast.com, looking deeply at lit and film). Learn about more network podcasts at partiallyexaminedlife.com.
