The Your Listener podcast

John hosts the Your Listener podcast. Discussing psychological topics including mental health, critical thinking, and social matters, he presents unique insights. Rather than lecturing coercively on what to believe, filling his discussions with provocative language or quotes from famous people, or political rhetoric, John explains how our minds work and the impact of this on how we operate individually and socially. He often helps his audience to realise that what we assume are truths are often ideas resulting from errors in thinking — to which all of us may fall subject. Through this, John encourages critical thinking, accepting responsibility for our flaws, the separation of criticising ideas from judging people, exercising our minds, and finding ways to live in harmony with and learn from each other rather than avoiding those who think differently. He also believes in helping his audience to develop more detailed, complex knowledge, rather than overly simplifying concepts to the extent that they become empty slogans. He maintains that while the quest for truth may never be completed, we should still strive to learn of it as only by doing this will we be the most independent and astute possible thinkers.
 

John speaks regularly on radio, being a regular guest of Annette Smith on 5GTR (South Australia), Vilma Formosa on North West F.M. (Victoria), and John Weeks on 3MDR (Victoria), and co-hosting the weekly segment Health Matters with Counsellor John with Andrew Roberts of 7XS (Tasmania). He has also been a guest and collaborator of a number of other hosts. He has produced episodes with podcast hosts such as Mitch Lowe, Prue Sulicich, Simon Rinne, Evan Shapiro, Ebony Uamaki, Paris Le Maistre, and Mark Brosnan. Radio hosts such as Dave Hearn, Bill Page, Allan Purcell, Tony Wertz, Leigh Milne, John Weeks, and Stacey Jane have welcomed him on to their programs to educate their audiences.
