Unofficial Art Therapy with Dr Liz and Coombesy
Coombesy is the medical professional, Dr Liz writes descriptions not prescriptions. We talk about different types of art from across eras and genres, and how these have helped us in good times and bad. Don’t mistake this for actual medical advice, but do come along for the jokes, the name drops and the delightfully daggy love of music videos. Based in Australia, we are lovers of pop, sport, theatre, comedy, magic, cabaret and more. Art IS therapy and a vital part of being alive.

In this episode Coombesy and Dr Liz talk about Television - watching it, being on it, watching it being made, and the general joy it is to have a moving art gallery in your lounge room. Come for the stories of Coombesy's near mega quiz win, stay for Liz's swooning of baby Wil Anderson and vomit advice from Adam Hills. Or was it the other way around? Either way, remember this is just a serving suggestion - if you need help, please ask. We appreciate you x

Dr Liz chimes in too - a Doctor of Media, Music and Cultural Studies for her art is a way of keeping sane, staying grounded and connecting.
