This week, we continue to act as if it were impossible to fail in part four of our exhaustive deep dive into Wake Up and Live. Picking up the story from the end of World War II, we look at the legacy of Dorothea Brande's book and the essentially identical self-help scam that generations of grifters have perpetuated on the world ever since.

SUDDENLY... a radical re-examination of Frank Sinatra's legacy for a new generation; a historical deep dive into his work, beginning with his 60-year film career. We're using Sinatra to talk about the social context of the 20th century from a trans, queer & progressive perspective. We're not here to cancel but to contemplate the uncancellable. hosted by two Australian transgender millennials, Rabia & Felix. insta & twitter: @suddenlypod, email: [email protected]
