The Briefing

26-07-2024 • 46 mins

Tim Minchin thinks policing other people's opinions online is a waste of time.

He’s a talented musician and author, who’s smart, has great teeth and was even given three honorary doctorates.

His thought provoking ideas on everything from empathy and identity, to why Australia can’t fall into the trap of far-right America is fascinating.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Tim unpacks the meaning behind his latest anthem and his first nonfiction book, You Don’t Have To Have A Dream (Advice for the Incrementally Ambitious).
