LISTEN: Known for light entertainment, OSHER GÜNSBERG is very serious when it comes to the environment and mental health. He talks to JOEL LAZAR for a new podcast series.

Best known as host of The Bachelor, Osher Günsberg reveals his more serious and personal side as a dad, a step-dad, and prolific podcast producer. He is a straight-talker when it comes to all things climate, mental health, and a future of abundance for Australia and the world. And a pretty good melodica player to boot.

This podcast is the first in After the Shofar, a series produced by the Jewish Climate Network (JCN) for the lead-up to the new year. Lazar said the Erdi Foundation was crucial in supporting these important conversations and in so doing, is increasingly demonstrating its commitment to Jewish leadership on climate issues.
