Brunch with ABC’s Simon Marnie
Media
Last Sunday morning ABC’s Simon Marnie came over to my house as part of his Sunday Brunch series on ABC 702. Here’s the link to the podcast, it’s 30 minutes long so please find something to entertain yourself with if you chose to listen?
The actual concept of the show is brilliant (as opposed to this particular episode)- Simon goes into peoples houses and asks them to talk about their three favourite books, movies and TV shows. It gives a nice insight into people. Simon has been doing this as a radio host for 10 years. It also parallels what Sam Gosling has been doing at The University of Texas. They look at applied social psychology. Part of their work is captured in Sam’s book Snoop, that tells you what your various possessions say about your personality (i.e. if you listen to Celine Dion you’re likely to be depressed, and if you have sporting paraphernalia around your house you’re likely to vote right wing!
