About this listen

Storyteller explores how and why we tell stories. From writers to musicians, therapists to architects, we are all engaged in building the world we live in through the stories we tell about ourselves, others and the world.


A podcast for the curious, host Lisa Golden interviews this wide range of storytellers to explore the nuance, beauty and quirky edges of how and why a story has been told, exploring how the way power, art, otherness and belonging continues to change across time.

  • Millennials Seeking Spirituality | Former Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids Philip Carr-Gomm
    Jul 1 2021

    Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?


    This week on Storyteller, host Lisa Golden speaks to author, psychologist and former Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, Philip Carr-Gomm, about what modern spirituality looks like for those who've moved away from the formal religions of their childhoods.


    In this wide-ranging topic they cover the background and foundation of the modern Druid order, if more millennials are seeking religion after the isolation and reconnection with nature brought on by the pandemic, and why Carr-Gomm describes himself as an "incurable optimist."

  • The Love Interest | Storyteller Basics
    Jun 17 2021

    Are you ready for some storytelling school? Today's class - the love interest


    Queer Creative's founder Cathie Swan takes us on a deep-dive into how the deepest human desire to find love has been used to write some truly terrible love interests over the years. Using 2007's blockbuster hit Next starring Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel, Cathie guides us through this peak of speechless, directionless female love interests in big Hollywood movies.


    Lisa and Cathie discuss how love interests can be sufficiently developed alongside a protagonist when time and attention is limited, the cheesy awfulness of 2000s movie trailers and if in general love interests are getting more interesting in the 2020s.

    Jun 10 2021

    Are we all burnt out?


    The term became so ubiquitous during the pandemic it came close to losing its meaning. However for many people struggling to managing the stresses of lockdown, childcare, demanding jobs and economic uncertainty, it became a way to communicate something quickly and with limited vulnerability. "I'm burned out" became a way to say many other things.


    Burnout does have a clear definition though. This week on the podcast, occupational health psychologist and researcher Professor Gail Kinman guides us through what we mean we we say burnout. Host Does using it as a catch-all phrase make is meaningless? What is emotional labour? And very importantly - what's going on when we cry at work?
