BEST OF: David Gillespie Knows How To Spot A Psychopath Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

Subscribe to Mamamia

When you think of a psychopath, you probably imagine someone like serial killer Ivan Milat. But according to David Gillespie, it's more likely to be your boss or your grandma. Five to 10 per cent of the population qualify as psychopathic, and the rate can be as high as 20 percent among corporate leaders and politicians.
So how do you spot them? What do you do if you have to work for or with them, or better yet, date them? Grab a cup of tea and get ready to go ‘OH MY GOD’...

THE END BITS:

With thanks to special guest David Gillespi and his book Taming Toxic People: The Science of Identifying and Dealing with Psychopaths here.

Subscribe to Mamamia
On the 12th of September, 2018, Australian Academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran’s International Airport in Iran. She spent 804 days incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prison for espionage, a crime she never committed.

She was an innocent Australian stuck in a foreign prison...with no way of getting home. Kylie’s story about her imprisonment, and what happened after she was finally released is unbelievable. Except it really happened.

Asher Keddie On Strife And Her Life Dec 10, 2023

Show notes

Subscribe to Mamamia

Asher Keddie has been one of Australia’s most acclaimed and beloved actors for decades. From Love My Way to Offspring, Paper Giants, Nine Perfect Strangers, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, she has won awards and hearts in equal measure.

She is now starring in the dramedy Strife, about an imperfect woman who leaves a high profile job as a glossy magazine editor to start a women’s website and try to grow a media company.

Sound familiar? The show was loosely inspired by Mia Freedman’s memoir, Work, Strife, Balance but it’s not about Mia. It’s about every woman who has felt like her life is…..a lot.

So what happened when Mia finally lured Asher into the No Filter studio after seven years of asking?

A very, very candid conversation about friendship, fame and how Asher Keddie feels so different in her 40s than she has at any other time in her life.
