24.01.2022 We’re nearly there! Series two is just about to drop! This season we start with an exploration of the #metoo movement and ask what two blokes are doing talking about it anyway. We then use this as an opportunity to explore a whole range of other topics like free speech, gender, sex, violence, human nature, death and morality.... Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and getting you to be a part of this conversation!

22.01.2022 As the Black Lives Matter movement spreads across the globe in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, Monty shares his perspective on systemic racism and Tim looks at the role that he and others like him can play to confront racism and make real change. This was a powerful and emotional episode for us to record, and we hope that it can help others find clarity and hope around an immensely important topic. Note: some strong language. We're also available on iTunes, via the l...ink below: https://podcasts.apple.com//po/the-meaning-of/id1280323829 #blacklivesmatter #blm

22.01.2022 How much do you think about sex? We think about it a lot. And we talk about it a lot in this episode, including why we have sex (it's not just to make babies), why male gorillas have such small, um, equipment, and how sex made us into such a cooperative species. Download from your favourite podcast app.

20.01.2022 This was a fun episode to record! We both love science fiction, and we both reckon there's a lot more to it than robots and ray guns. In this episode, we talk mythology, utopia and imagination, and share our favourite sci-fi from recent years. Have a listen and tell us what your favourite sci-fi books, films and TV shows are!

20.01.2022 What does COVID-19 mean for us, the way we perceive the world, and how we interact with each other? We don't know for sure, but we're keen to talk about it! We're excited to announce that we're recording a special episode about the Meaning of COVID-19, looking at how it's impacting the way we find meaning in the world. And we'd love to hear from you! How has COVID-19 changed what matters to you? What unanswered questions does it raise? What do you fear or hope for the most?

19.01.2022 It was such a privilege having Dr Monty Badami amongst some really good met as they talk to Kayla for the Movember special of the All Being Well Podcast. We talk about all sorts of things like the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculinity; the need for connection and communication; how to engage with young me and boys; sharing stories; and checking in! Check out a previous episode where Dr Tim Dean talks about having deeper relationships!... https://www.allbeingwell.com.au/episodes/movember

19.01.2022 Does language reflect reality? Or does it create it? After our discussion of metoo, we now take a look at The meaning of...Free Speech! What is it? Does it exist? Should we have it? If you are not on iTunes, you can access us at the website:... http://meaningoflife.libsyn.com/ See more

18.01.2022 How can we make sense of the COVID-19 pandemic? Is there meaning to be found in these strange times? We are thrilled to present this special episode, The Meaning of COVID-19, where we talk about how the pandemic has shaken our presumptions of normality but is also opening up opportunities to find and create meaning in our lives. Listen to is via the link here, or through your favourite podcasting app (we use Pocket Casts!). We hope you enjoy, and would love to hear your thoughts about what COVID-19 means to you!

13.01.2022 The latest episode is out now! Death may be inevitable (although some are trying to fix that), but it's something we probably don't talk about enough in our society. In this episode, Monty talks about the importance of funeral rituals in cultures throughout history, Tim talks about Epicurus' remedy for fearing death, and we both wonder whether there can be a kind of life after death.

13.01.2022 Have your kids been playing too much Fortnite (or have you)? Feel like playing games is a waste of time? Have you ever played Dungeons & Dragons? In this episode we talk about the importance of play and gaming, and what they can teach us about life. You can download here or subscribe via your favourite podcast outlet. Game on!

12.01.2022 Virtually every culture ever encountered has had some kind of belief in god, gods, spirits or a divine supernatural realm. Where do these beliefs come from? How do they create meaning in our lives? Can we find meaning in life without god(s)?

10.01.2022 Looks like we made the cut! Check out some of the other awesome podcasts as well!

09.01.2022 What makes you a man, a woman or some other gender? Is it your biology, your psychology, your culture? In this episode of The Meaning of... we look at the complex relationship between sex and gender, and we see if it can help us understand who we are.

07.01.2022 What do ethics mean in the midst of a pandemic? Have we been staying home to protect ourselves, or for the greater good, and why does it matter? Join Monty this Sunday afternoon with award-winning journalist and writer Brigid Delaney in a broad ranging conversation about our moral principles for the Sydney Opera House Digital Season. What different philosophical traditions can we look to for comfort, guidance and purpose at times like this? How have things shifted for us as ...individuals and as societies? And what can we meaningfully take from this time into the future? https://www.sydneyoperahouse.com//thinking-through-a-crisi #anthropology #culture #beinghuman #culturechange #positiveeducation #healthyrelationships #speaker #facilitation #workshops #schools #ritesofpassage #ethnography #teaching #coaching #humannature #education #lifehacks #emotionalintelligence #educationalpsychology #parents #menaftermetoo #fatherandsons #consulting #empowerment #humanasfuck #masculinity #leadership #diversity #evolution #sydneyoperahouse @sydneyoperahouse @SydOperaHouse

05.01.2022 This one's a doozie. If there's one point of difference in our respective philosophies, it's about whether there's such a thing as "human nature"... and that's precisely what we debate (and disagree about) in this episode. Check it out here or via your favourite podcast app, and let us know in the comments whether you think human nature exists!

05.01.2022 The latest episode is out now! In this one we debate the origins of violence, looking at what evolution and anthropology can tell us about where violence comes from and whether it's hardwired in our nature.
