Dimed Out

In this episode of your thirteenth favourite, above average, but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT…we wrap things up on Season 5. Diving into an amateur attempt at Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold dusted lacquer, I break a cheap bowl and put it back together with superglue and gold paint. A fun little project and a metaphor of sorts for embracing flaws and imperfections. Something I've been working in in this season. I also discuss perspective shifts and the human element of my time in Puebla.

In this episode of your third favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT…we're looking at Performance. Acting the part you think other people want to see. Embodying the character we believe we need to be. The various masks we wear for those around us. We're also looking at the productive and destructive qualities of Perfectionism. What it is, how it manifests, when it starts and when it should stop. Outside of detailing my own experiences with perfectionism, in this episode I dive into two seperate, but equally fantastic conversations. The first is with Jess Parente, trauma informed coach and founder of 'It Ends With You' - a mental health service specialising in codependency. IT ENDS WITH YOU https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553460761081 The second conversation is with Rhi Anderson, life coach and founder of 'Living Abled' - an an organisation that is helping young adults find their purpose and self worth while breaking the stigma of disability.

It's about chuffing time! The 5th Season of your 3rd favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast, DIMED OUT, is finally here. With all good intentions I tried to piece together an interesting, different, iteration of the show. One that was partly intended to help me let go of perfectionistic traits and cause less work...yet this one has probably been the most laborious. Having said that, at the end of the day, it is a labour of love. In this first episode I dig into my original plans, their implosion, my failed (mostly) fitness journey, and the uncertain nature of what is to come. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dimedout/message

In this episode of your third favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT… I'm digging into isolation and detachment, earnest intentions, and significant changes. Changes that I need to make for my own sake. Changes that can help break me out of an insular way of life. And changes that I find myself navigating, like a new job...in public radio.

For spooky season I've put together a mixed bag of macabre, off kilter, unsettling and downright odd treats.

Alright gang, in our season finale we’re asking “can a man live on completion prizes alone?” The year is 1998. The place is Japan. An aspiring comedian by the name of Nasubi auditions to be on Denpa Shonen’s new TV show with the hopes of breaking into showbiz. Selected as the sole contestant, Nasubi is then taken to a small apartment, stripped naked and told that everything he needs to survive from this point on, must be won via magazine and radio contests. Oh, and if that wasn’t traumatic enough, millions of people at home will be watching on a weekly basis. Nasubi’s Prize Life is a story that is so ridiculous it shouldn’t be true. But it is. It’s a story that is cruel, compelling, grotesque, puzzling, and psychologically fascinating. A pretty fitting way to finish our fourth season then. If you're interested you can find Prize Life episodes below Nasubi Prize Life Compilation - Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4lYc34HNSg Nasubi Prize Life Compilation - Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsjX4Xoz6o0 If you've enjoyed this episode and you want to help support the show, the best way to do so is to simply subscribe via whatever podcast platform you prefer.

Alright gang, this week we’re concluding our two part conversation with Tim Doyle. Not only are we getting a resolution to Tim’s encounter with the Angel of Death but Tim also digs into a variety of topics including the God frequency. Shifting from a 3rd dimensional consciousness to a 5th level consciousness. Egyptian gods, arcturians and a prayer which allegedly removes fears and other emotional parasites from your being.

Alright gang, this week in the first of a two part conversation, we’re talking to ordained metaphysical minister, reiki master, and conduit for the Golden Ones, Tim Doyle. In a very unique conversation that took place at my mums dining room table, I spoke to Tim about a number of things. His mission to spread the teachings of his celestial guides ‘The Golden Ones’. His ayahuasca experiences in Peru. His encounter with the angel of death. How, why, and when, we allegedly choose to come to earth. Karma. Reincarnation. Free will vs Determinism and so much more. It really is quite the conversation, and this is only the first part. Be sure to check out the concluding part next week.

Alright gang, this week we’re talking Social Anxiety. In a fun and insightful chat with Introvert Strategist, Roxana, mastermind behind Honest Rox, we’re looking at introverted behaviour.

Alright gang, this week we’re taking a look at Neurodiversity. From common elements and executive decisions to spikey profiles and beyond, we’re digging into Neurodiversity in my chat with Neurodiverse Work Coach, Jessica Michaels. We also get into life before and after her own Autism diagnosis, how she helps to create a better work environment as well as addressing some commonplace stereotypes and assumptions.

Alright gang, this week we’re finally getting round to tackling Timothy Leary. A Psychologist. An advocate for Psychedelics and free thinking. A provocateur and a counterculture icon. Cited as both “the most dangerous man in America” and a “hero of American consciousness” Leary has been, for decades, an interesting figure to say the least. But rather than dive into a biographical exploration of Leary, in this episode we’re going to be looking at two of the most infamous experiments attached to his name. The Concord Prison Experiment and The Good Friday Experiment. Two pivotal moments in psychedelic research that ask two distinct questions. Can drugs actually help with criminal rehabilitation and can they bring you closer to god?

Alright gang, this week I’m joined by the truly inspirational Dr Kevin Payne. From being terrified of his own body to revelling in the perspective found in the church of altitude, Kevin’s story is really quite remarkable. After years of suffering from multiple sclerosis. Enduring personal loss. Trauma and emotional depletion, he gave himself one last chance. Using his academic background to rebuild himself and taken to the skies in order to live his life well, he’s now encouraging and inspiring others to do the same.
