LIVE EVENTS

From January to March 2025, I'm running a series of in-person salons on Australian policy problems. Get tickets or learn more here.

Podcast

My podcast is an extension of my curiosity. I choose a guest with important (and, ideally, underrated) ideas. I research as much as possible. And I ask the burning questions that excite me most. The result is less a performance and more a conversation between two friends, a chat which you get to eavesdrop on.
