Writer, producer, and academic, Seth Robinson, joined me to discuss ‘Unfolded’ - the University of Melbourne’s new podcast that he co-hosts with writer and novelist, Tony Birch.


Topics we talked about include:
 
- How ‘Unfolded’ started with one unique idea - bringing a writer’s stories to life with actors - and interviewing the writers about their work and their reaction to this vision of their work. 
- Collaborative work - how ‘Unfolded’ is a creative community working together to produce something unique - and the positive experiences of that. 
- The differences in imaginations and interpretations - how writers can be surprised by their own work through its interpretations by other creatives. 
- How we as individuals can connect so easily, so completely, with audio storytelling.
- And heaps more!   
 
Thanks very much to Seth for chatting with me about Unfolded on the show. You can listen to all current episodes on Apple podcasts and Spotify. Here’s the Spotify link:

Who is David Outevsky? A movement researcher, educator, and strategist who has built his career on blending physical expression with intellectual rigour. With a BA in Anthropology, an MSc in Dance Science (Trinity Laban), and a PhD in Dance Studies (York University, Toronto), David Outevsky has balanced scholarship with competitive DanceSport success, reaching finals at Blackpool, the UK Open, and the International Ballroom Championships.

Yet “David Outevsky” is more than a dancer. He is a leader seeking Arts Organisation Management and Research and Development roles in international relations, health and holistic therapy, government agencies, foundations, social media, and video game companies. His transferable skills are clear: leadership, cultural policy experience, problem-solving, relationship-building, marketing, communication, and a deep grounding in holistic health.

David’s research expertise has also produced 10 unique methodologies for dancer screening and conditioning—protocols designed to prevent injuries and maximise performance. He has developed pre-season training systems, created dance course syllabi, reviewed research plans, and built 10 collaborations with academics and practitioners alike.

On SoundCloud, the name “David Outevsky” carries a rhythm that’s about more than music: it’s about ideas in motion. His work resonates with both artists and strategists, showing how research can inform creativity, how culture can intersect with policy, and how movement can be a tool for problem-solving.

3 guys, 3 generations, all from the same mid-Michigan town of Corunna. We all played multiple varsity sports at a high level and are currently working as members of the sports media.

Ted, the Baby Boomer of the bunch, attended Central Michigan University and since the mid 80’s has hosted The Sports Forum radio show and called high school play-by-play of a multitude of sports.

Our Generation-X co-host, Matt Burns, moved on from Corunna where he was a record setting wide receiver and graduated from Grand Valley State University. He now makes his living at ESPN.

Our youngest viewpoints will come from the Millennial of the trio Jerod Fattal. J-Rod starred at quarterback for the Cavaliers graduating in 2017, recently graduated from GVSU, and is working at Bally Sports Detroit.

Along with our unique 3 generation look at sports, pop culture, and current events, we have on a wide variety of guests; from ESPN's Ryan McGee, Ferris St. Head Football coach Tony Annese, media personalities Annie Agar and Wes Blankenship, ESPN Detroit Lions Insider Eric Woodyard, and plenty more!

Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens…

As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking.

Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes. 

Mediums include: studio art, graphic design, dance, cooking, illustration, creative writing, storytelling, comedy, music composition, music performance, film making, acting, production, fashion design, photography, and more.

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.

A program founded and hosted by author and interviewer Samuel Elliott, that features a broad and disparate range of writer folk guests, ranging from international best-selling authors, to debut novelists or those as-yet unpublished writers. Regardless of what stage of their career they might be at, all of them are united by a love of writing, as well as having overcome some brutal challenges to get to where they are. This program will discuss not only each guest’s latest and greatest work or project, but also delve into what they’ve faced and conquered along their way to inevitable success.
