Unofficial Art Therapy with Dr Liz and Coombesy

Coombesy is not only a former medical professional, but also sport professional. And still, Dr Liz makes up with what she lacks in experience with enthusiasm. Here we talk about sport as therapy - not just the physical side of doing it (which of course we know - any movement can help if you can get to it) - but also the mental support that being a supporter of any kind can provide. Get into footy, swimming, chess, gaming - whatever it is - if it helps you, then we're here for it. As always, do reach out for proper advice if you need it, and in the meantime, we appreciate you.

Coombesy and Dr Liz love Reuben Kaye and we don't care who knows it. Actually, we want everyone to know. He counts as (unofficial) art therapy for us because of his talent, his love, his wickedness and his beautiful boldness - a true innovator who Coombesy is lucky enough to know as a friend and who has knocked Dr Liz's socks off. Not like that, dirty listener! But Reuben, if you're ever lonely....

Music videos and cover versions are everywhere, and we love their constant companionship. Bring your own faves to the episode, including our recommendations for the best songs for surgery and how video has only helped the radio star. Harry Styles! Reuben Kaye! All the beautiful people, they're all here. It may not fix you, but it certainly can't hurt. 

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

Welcome! In this episode we do a bit of an intro as well as a deep dive into Coombesy's backstory - a former nurse and paramedic, now lover of arts of all forms. 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. Be it Shakespeare or (Harry) Styles, it's all good if it helps you. There are a few swears here, and also some talk of dark times. If you, or anyone you know, needs help, please reach out x
