Perpectives in Parryville
Unexpected and profound insights from smart people you’d like to meet. Mark Parry has a perspective, but as a conduit he wants you to hear the perspectives of others. Mark’s longstanding commitment to learning, teaching and communication gets more engaging than ever as he chats with a broad and diverse range of intelligent, friendly and interesting people—artists, researchers, scientists, psychologists, film makers—who are thinking about new ideas and then getting on with making a big or small impact on the world. Mark takes time to listen to their perspectives, and so can you. If you ever wanted to know what the shattered ideology of the American dream looks like as a self-aware oil painting on instagram or how reflection and creative thought helps a scientific researcher in pursuit of a cancer cure or what melodramatic sex on 70s Australian television tells us about our society, then look no further. The goal: to get big, complex, challenging, important and contemporary ideas out to listeners that never knew they were interested. This is Perspectives in Parryville.

The podcast is about amplifying interesting and useful ideas through conversation about a person’s life, career and activities they’ve experienced. Most of the podcast guests are teachers, researchers or educators that I’ve either worked with or met at a conference or event. Others are peers I’ve connected with online, their ideas and posts resonating with me. (On reflection, I suppose the underlying narrative thread across all the episodes is a sense of an individual on their pathway, linked to learning and life, an expression of who they are and how they’ve contributed to the world.)
So, if you think you’d make an interesting guest, contact me. (Please, no hustlers or unsolicited sales calls!)
