Uncommon Courage
Welcome to Uncommon Courage, the podcast, where we’ll be having the conversations we need to be having as members of the human collective. We are all being called upon to step up and lead – with kindness, big hearts and unshakable courage – because right now, we have an opportunity to redress what we got wrong in the past, as well as deal with the disruptions we face today, to create a better world for all.
However, if we are completely truthful, the biggest challenge we face is believing we can do it – believing in our ability to create massive change. But everyone knows you can’t achieve anything significant without guts, determination, and of course, the courage to keep driving towards the goal, regardless of how hard the journey is!
Uncommon Courage will feature global conversations determined to contribute to creating a better future for all life on earth. Ideas, solutions, arguments and laughs - it’ll all be part of the journey. It is time for that which is uncommon to become common.

Uncommon Courage
The Know Show – from ‘enshittification’ to denial, somethings gotta give
What’s true? What’s not? How do we move forward when ‘truthiness’ is acceptable? How do we navigate complex times when basic facts are denied rigorously, something that is definitely not serving the common good? We have entered the era of denial and “enshittification,” a term invented by the sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow, to describe online platforms and the process of their decay.
According to Rose Payne, she says you’ll recognize it immediately from pretty much any online service you’ve signed up to: “You enter into it, and at the beginning, it’s good, but once they have network effects, they degrade the quality of their offering. So, you’re trapped in a space that’s no longer useful to you.”
Based on the rapid departure or lack of participation from so many centrists in the social media discourse, and the dominance of extreme far right and extreme far left voices on all social media platforms, we are in a bit of a spot, don’t you think? We have critical issues on the horizon, which threaten to impact all of humanity, but when we have no consensus on what is the truth, along with the denial of expert opinion running rampart, where do we go from here?
It's just the three of us this week, as our guest was unable to make it, but it will be as fiery as ever, as we dig into a very complicated topic, as well as sharing the news happening around the world.
The Livestream kicks off at 3pm Singapore time, Friday 29th November. Come and join us.
The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today.
The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history. Join us.
