It’s not just me that finds that the most impactful moments in life tend to be the quietest ones, yeah? Those moments where your perspective is forced to shift in ways you couldn’t have imagined and you can feel yourself changing in real time….yeah, moments like those. Someone who clearly feels similar is my old friend Gordi, a supremely talented singer-songwriter from Australia who’s released one of 2025’s strongest albums. That album is called Like Plasticine (out now), which is a body of work that traverses the beauty of life and death, queer identity, heartbreak, and, ya know, the fun stuff! But in all seriousness, where Gordi shines as a songwriter is in making us feel less alone by sharing her own experiences, along with those she’s observed, and in doing so, the multitudes of the human condition. A word that is the guiding light of this episode is ‘perspective’ and how crucially we need to find, nurture, and adapt to it across other people. We chat about all that and more (along with the occasional laugh, because again, fun stuff).
