In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode, Geoff and Shai open up about creativity, connection and community. Shai shares vivid stories from his childhood in Mozambique — growing up during conflict and building a life around art and expression. With more than forty exhibitions to his name, his reflections on painting, purpose and resilience are moving and inspiring.

The pair also discuss World Mental Health Day, visit the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition and explore how creativity supports wellbeing. As always the episode wraps with Geoff’s hilarious original poem Serial Killers — a witty ode to breakfast cereal advertising.

Plus, don’t miss this week’s What’s On highlight: a local community singing group at Redfern Community.
