from The Laughter Clinic · host Mark McConville
This week I catch up with B105 breakfast radio host Stav Davidson. We chat about how he has built a 20‑year career on honesty, quick wit, and mindfulness, and why laughter still works as medicine when the world feels heavy. Stav provides a masterclass in being yourself on air and how that has contributed to his longevity. Stories range from an honorary Knighthood, skydiving cash storms to interviews gone sideways and the quiet wins that have meant the most.• positive mindset as a resilience tool• why authenticity matters• spontaneous radio vs rigid scripting• boundaries, innuendo, and self‑editing• stunts, ethics, and the shift from shock to service• celebrity access then vs now and why it has changed• routines, and sustainable creativity• ratings pressure, mindfulness, and staying present• gratitude, and the joy of jokesTo follow Stav head to his Instgram: @stavb105If you enjoyed the episode, please share and subscribeWebsite: www.thelaughterclinic.com.auYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thelaughterclinicAus"If you or someone you know needs support, please contact one of these Australian mental health services.
