Just Glen

Welcome back to Just Glen! Pop your earpods in and let's go for a walk. This week, we're talking about the absolute indignity of getting injured while you're fast asleep, and trying to decipher the modern "food brackets" (what even is gluten?). We take a trip back to the 80s to remember how breakups used to happen — specifically, the time I got dumped while holding a packet of Burger Rings. I also...

Thinking Out Loud About Nipple Rings, Cold Sores and Becoming My Dad This week I found myself thinking about all the strange things we've done trying to impress people. From Fabergé jeans and RM Williams boots to the unforgettable decision to get a nipple ring, it got me wondering how many versions of ourselves we create before we finally become comfortable being who we are. Along the way I talk a...

Welcome back to Just Glen. Pop your earpods in, let’s go for a walk. This week we start with a serious question: When did Formula 1 cars get so soft? They’ve got little tyre blankets to keep them warm, and a guy checking the asphalt temperature so it’s not too hot or too cold. It’s the Goldilocks of motorsport. Compare that to the 80s when we played cricket on concrete with no helmets and called i...

We start this week with a bit of a laugh about the state of our bodies. I recently went to a funeral, and instead of talking about the footy, every single bloke my age was comparing their upcoming operations. Hips, knees, shoulders — it turns out the body was keeping score the whole time we were playing 80s sport on concrete courts with zero recovery. We were athletes, and now we’re just spare par...

This week’s episode turned into a more reflective one than I expected. It started with watching another frustrating Essendon performance… but somehow ended up becoming an episode about memory, ageing, appreciation and the people we miss. With Mother’s Day just passing, I found myself thinking a lot about my mum — the little details I still remember, the things I wish I could ask her now as an adul...

Welcome back to Just Glen. Pop your earpods in and let's go for a walk. This week, we are diving into the petty domestic battles we all fight but never discuss. Why do women get 80% of the bathroom real estate? Why is my razor treated with respect while Beth's is left in a puddle of water? We're calling it the Razor Blade Wars, and we need to talk about it. We also take a trip back to the 80s to d...

Why is it called MENopause? And at what age do you get to start walking with your arms clasped behind your back? In this episode of Just Glen, we’re covering the big questions. We’re also taking a trip back to the 80s to remember the terrifying reality of having to call a girl’s landline and get past her dad, plus the time we had to manually squeegee a Toyota Corolla while driving down the Nepean...

Happy birthday to Just Glen! This week we're celebrating Glen's 56th birthday with one of the most wide-ranging episodes yet. It starts with a phone call from a law firm asking if Glen wants to be the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Google — and the very tempting, very brief fantasy of seeing his name in the headlines. Then we cover the ongoing chaos of Trump and Iran, celebrate the miracle of...

I’m back! After a couple of weeks away jet-setting with Beth, I am back in the seat and I have a lot to catch up on. We start this week with a serious question: Why, in 2026, are Australian men still subjected to the primitive, godforsaken trough urinal? After experiencing the luxury of Singapore airport toilets, I am officially starting a petition. From there, we dive into the baffling reality of...

Episode 8: Thinking out loud about Trump, Petrol and my sobriety journey Episode Description: Welcome back to Just Glen. This week starts off light but goes somewhere deeply personal. I'm thinking out loud about the crazy state of the world—from the fact that it just cost me $250 to fill up my car, to the absolute reality-TV chaos of Donald Trump's situation in Iran. We also take a quick detour in...

This week started with me watching cricket grand finals… and realising something I didn’t expect. Part of me was loving it. Part of me was thinking… I used to be out there. That strange feeling of getting older — still feeling the same on the inside, but living a very different life on the outside — kind of set the tone for this one. In this episode I cover: ⭐ Start of the Week: Wade King (McKinn...

This week on Just Glen , I’m thinking out loud about bucket lists, sporting heroes and whether golf technology can actually fix a slice. I finally tested the famous Fly Straight Golf Balls that claim to remove side spin and stop your slice. The surprising result? They might actually work. I also ticked something off my bucket list after more than 20 years — attending the Australian Grand Prix . Fr...

In this episode of Just Glen , I ask a simple question: How did I get here? From starting a Commerce degree at Melbourne Uni (inspired, if I’m honest, by Alex P. Keaton), to hitchhiking through the Belanglo State Forest in the 80s, to working retail, replacing cigarette ads with Coke branding, teaching overseas, starting software companies and eventually founding The Life Coaching College — the pa...

In this episode of Just Glen , I think out loud about bravery, responsibility, and the uneven ways they show up in everyday life. From Winter Olympians launching themselves down frozen mountains, to wandering aimlessly around Chadstone Shopping Centre, to the curious art of dodgy apologies on reality TV — I’ve been noticing the difference between physical courage and emotional ownership. There’s a...

In this episode of Just Glen , I think out loud about how different life feels now compared to when we were kids. I reflect on recording songs off the radio in the 80s — waiting patiently with a finger hovering over the record button — and how that patience contrasts with the instant access we expect today. I also revisit the early years of marriage and what it meant to carry long-standing commitm...

In this episode of Just Glen , I think out loud about a few things that sat with me this week. I share a frustration around trying to buy Bitcoin and being slowed down by systems designed to “protect” you, reflect on what marathon training looks like when your body hasn’t quite signed off on the plan, and laugh at the reality of becoming an unpaid Uber driver for your kids. I also dip back into re...

In this first episode of Just Glen , I talk through why I wanted a space with no agenda — just somewhere to think out loud. I reflect on a few moments from the week, including family, sport, TV, and questions that don’t need neat answers. This isn’t coaching or advice. Just honest thoughts, shared as they come.
