About this listen

Just Glen is a weekly podcast of reflections, observations, and honest musings from a 55-year-old Australian navigating work, family, sport, culture, and the world as it is — not as it’s packaged. Some weeks it’s what’s been in the news. Some weeks it’s a mindset thought that won’t leave him alone. Other weeks it’s parenting, marriage, sport, something he’s watching, or a moment from the week that quietly mattered. This isn’t coaching. It’s not advice. And it’s definitely not a highlight reel. It’s simply one man thinking out loud — honestly, imperfectly, and without trying to impress. New episodes weekly. Glen also works in education and personal development, but this space is intentionally personal.Copyright 2026 Glen Murdoch Self-Help Social Sciences Success

  • Thinking out loud about bravery, shopping centres and dodgy apologies
    Feb 23 2026

    In this episode of Just Glen, I think out loud about bravery, responsibility, and the uneven ways they show up in everyday life.

    From Winter Olympians launching themselves down frozen mountains, to wandering aimlessly around Chadstone Shopping Centre, to the curious art of dodgy apologies on reality TV — I’ve been noticing the difference between physical courage and emotional ownership.

    There’s also a quick dream-related confession, a nostalgic nod to 80s “bob-a-job” days, and a short review of Bad Sisters.

    No lessons. No agenda.

    Just a few thoughts from the week.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Thinking out loud about cassette tapes, cricket, golf balls and long-term love
    Feb 17 2026

    In this episode of Just Glen, I think out loud about how different life feels now compared to when we were kids.

    I reflect on recording songs off the radio in the 80s — waiting patiently with a finger hovering over the record button — and how that patience contrasts with the instant access we expect today.

    I also revisit the early years of marriage and what it meant to carry long-standing commitments, like cricket training and Saturday games, into a new season of life with young kids. It left me wondering: how long do you get to keep what you started with?

    There’s a quick update on being a tennis dad, a slightly optimistic purchase of “fly straight” golf balls, and a reminder of why I still love Valentine’s Day — even if it looks different now.

    No advice. No agenda.

    Just a few honest thoughts from the week.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Thinking out loud about Bitcoin, marathons, parenting and reality TV
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of Just Glen, I think out loud about a few things that sat with me this week.

    I share a frustration around trying to buy Bitcoin and being slowed down by systems designed to “protect” you, reflect on what marathon training looks like when your body hasn’t quite signed off on the plan, and laugh at the reality of becoming an unpaid Uber driver for your kids.

    I also dip back into reality TV — MAFS, Below Deck and Summer House — and what those shows reveal about human behaviour under pressure.

    No advice. No agenda.

    Just a few honest thoughts, shared as they came.

    Thanks for listening.
