What podcasts should I listen to? Here’s everything with Graeme Smith from THISISGRAEME
The Good and Evil of Power – With Nathan and friends from Barbarian Rhetoric
I’ve been on Nathan’s podcast several times now as a guest, and this time I was very fortunate to be joined by new friends and old to discuss the nature of power.
Power is intoxicating and in the show, we dig into different kinds of power including financial, political and raw animal power. What is power and how does it affect us? Can we harness power for good or does it always corrupt?
Join Nathan and me together with Joseph Shoemaker, Joseph (Padre) Smith, Heavy Metal CJ and Jimee Gee for this long and fascinating discussion.

Chance and I have been good friends for a couple of years now on Twitter and other platforms. It was great to get together with him the other day and have live conversation about interesting things.
Chance, AKA @TheUncommonist on Twitter recently murdered his old podcast and it was a privilege and a pleasure to be his first guest on the newly resurrected show in this next evolution.
Chance is an engaging podcast host and always asks the best questions. In our wide-ranging conversations we cover aspects of New Zealand including Māori culture, values and worldview, creation and creativity as well as the importance of family.

The Path of Perfection – With Brother Fury from the HOOAFURY Podcast
Fury and I have known each other for a little while now and once upon a time even made a song together, but recently we had our first opportunity to spend some time talking face to face.
We discuss what it means to be well-rounded (and if that’s even possible) and delve into obsessions, frustrations and perfection as well as why it’s good to take a deep dive down the rabbit hole from time to time, how to create a life of deep work, and touch on photography, music, COVID, New Zealand, books, Japan, making your own booze and more.

Mathematics and Muscles – with Nathan from Barbarian Rhetoric and Damon Whitten
Nathan from Barbarian Rhetoric sits down with Damon Whitten and me to discuss how people learn in different ways and at different speeds. We dive down a few different rabbit holes including the idea of “agency” and why you need to develop it before getting on to Damon’s new book about how to get strong, fast.
Damon is a powerlifter with a PhD in maths education… that means he’s one of the few academics you can probably trust.
