All In The Mind
We're working on an episode about how Australians have been coping through the pandemic, and we want your stories. We want to know what’s been getting you through the tough times, and what you’re most looking forward to when this is all behind us. How can you tell us? You just need to use your smartphone to record yourself telling a story. It can be sad, happy, funny, weird -- like maybe you got a new hobby, or re-discovered an old one, or made an unexpected friend, and that helped get you through. Maybe you’re looking forward to travelling the world, seeing your children again … or just a cold beer at the pub. Whatever it is, put it into a voice recording, and we’ll share it in a special episode of All in the Mind. To record: Find a quiet room and open up the voice memo app on your smartphone. If you don't have one installed, search for a voice memo app in your app store. Hold the phone's microphone (located at the base of the phone) about 15-20cm from your mouth. Press the red 'record' button and share your thoughts. Once you're finished, hit the record button again to stop, then press done and save the recording with a name. If you're unhappy with what you've recorded, just re-do it. When you've got your recording, you should be able to 'send' or 'share' it via email to mind_rn@abc.net.au. Remember to include your name and the area you live so we can credit you on the podcast.

Australians Share Their Pandemic Survival Stories on All In The Mind
“What's helped me through these months of the pandemic so far is a new hobby...the feeling of improving and progressing at something during a time in our lives where other things have been on hold has been really helpful.”
How have you been coping during the pandemic? 'All In The Mind' wants to hear your story. In this episode, the podcast team invites Australians to share their personal experiences of navigating through these challenging times. Whether it's picking up a quirky new hobby, rekindling old passions, or simply finding solace in unexpected places, every story counts.
Host Lynne Malcolm and producer James Bullen discuss the profound impact of the pandemic on mental health and the vital role of social connections and hobbies in maintaining our sanity. They also explore what people are most looking forward to once life returns to normal—be it traveling, reuniting with loved ones, or even enjoying a cold beer at the pub. This episode promises a heartfelt collection of voices from across the country, offering both comfort and camaraderie.
So, grab your smartphone, find a quiet spot, and record your story. You might just find that sharing your experience is as therapeutic as hearing others' stories. Tune in to be part of this special community-driven episode.
