The Sh*t Show: let’s get this party started

Send us Fan MailIt’s time to get The Sh*t Show on the road, with a goal to untangle the polycrisis and make sense of the complexity. We’ll look at the polycrisis from all angles, including the vast issues under the umbrella of the planetary crisis, geopolitics and war, technology risks, societal collapse, mis- and disinformation, propaganda, lack of trust in institutions, economic risks, inequality and poverty, equality, all the way through to the global mental health crisis – just as a taster. This show joins forces between The Know Show and Climate Courage, and while we appreciate some think the “swearword” inappropriate, the truth is - we ARE in a sh*t show, and facing up to this time is important. The show will take different elements of both shows, with three core discussion areas, and in our kick off episode, we are going to discuss what’s really keeping the sh*t show on the road. Is it business in all its forms, OR is the “forcing” coming from governments and Boomers in OECD countries? Our second topic is AI. Everyone is either excited by it or terrified by it, but the societal implications are becoming clearer – what does it mean to us and how can we prepare? Equally, can earth deliver this promise?Our final topic is the planetary crisis. We’ll discuss recent news and research, explain why it’s important and what we can do about it. All three areas will have actions we can take, whether as individuals, societies or globally. We’re not just going to focus on problems, because if we’re not offering solutions, we’re not helping. There’ll be a lot more to discuss, but this is the core focus for this week. Why not come and have a listen and get involved in the conversation? We’d love to have you. Join us Friday 6th June 2025, 8am UK, 9am EU, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming in various locations. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourageYou can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
