Helen Smith

For people observing from Australia, what lessons can they learn from the Charlottesville incident in 2017?

Deborah, thank you so much for joining us on The Briefing.

Thank you, Helen.

It was great to be here.

That was Pulitzer Prize finalist and independent scholar Deborah Baker speaking with me there and her book, Charlottesville, An American Story, is out now and she'll also be at the Sydney Writers Festival from the 17th to 24th of May and you can catch her there.

Thanks for listening to this episode of The Briefing.

That's it for now.

But before you go, we'd love it if you could share this ep with someone else who you think might enjoy it.

It's a really easy way you can support everything we do here at The Briefing.

And you can check us out on Instagram at The Briefing Podcast.

Send us your thoughts on this chat or any suggestions you might have for another one.

I'm Helen Smith.

Catch you next time.

Hi, Helen Smith here with you.

Welcome to The Briefing.

While burnout and stress might feel inevitable and part of life, neuroscience is telling a different story.

One that reveals the endless pings, virtual meetings and screen time we live with are simply not compatible with a healthy brain.

That's coming up in the second half of this episode.

First, though, let's get into the headlines with Sasha Barber-Gatt.

It's Friday, the 24th of April.
