The Happenence Podcast: Recent Episodes

Daniel Casadio

A podcast which began because I was stuck in self isolation. In the Happenence podcast host Daniel Casadio discusses a wide range of topics. From travel and hitch hiking to interviewing an ex Heroin addict to talking openly with different people about sex, relationships, pornography addiction and Jesus. A lot going on, it's messy and uncomfortable, but I think that's what makes any story worth listening to. A new conversation on 'most' Mondays.

In the last episode for 2020, I have a very close friend of mine Cyrus on as a guest. We discuss our year and how much it didn't go to plan, we had a massive trip planned together, but like for everyone else to; it got cancelled and we both had to go back to the drawing board.

We talk about our resolutions in the past and our resolutions for 2021. And we finish off with how we are wanting to finish the year. 

If you would like to speak and chat to Cyrus, you can find him on Instagram: @notcyrustodd

Be safe everyone and looking forward to many more conversations in 2021!

In this Monday's podcast, we get very honest and at some moments, very vulnerable.

Today I have a conversation with another Daniel and we talk about his past with some quite heavy experiences.

On this Monday's episode, I interview with a new friend, where our first encounter was actually talking all about porn... in a bubble tea store!  This is a lengthy episode but we go right into Iz's life about porn, hook up culture, drugs and we also call some things out. Especially the church. A lot is said on this podcast, and it's anything but sugar coated. Enjoy Iz's honesty and vulnerability!

If you would like to get in contact with Iz, let me know and I can pass her your info.

Today I speak with my roommate and we reflect on our past week of moving to a new house, and the stress and chaos that came alongside with it. We talk about the dangers of not keeping the accountability board updated and how we have both relapsed. But what's our action plan? What are we going to do after we relapse?

Today I had a brilliant conversation with Hayden who is the Western Australian State Director of the Non For Profit Organisation; Red Frogs.

Red Frogs are all about coming along side teenagers and young adults and being there for them when they are experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Whether that be throughout university parties, festivals and Leavers. 

What I personally love the most about Red Frogs is that they help, for the sake of helping. There is no personal benefit for these volunteers except that they just have a heart of wanting to support people. 

Hayden and I discuss the topic of mental health and how to as a friend, come along side someone who is struggling. 

If you are interested in volunteering for Leavers, you can check out more information here: https://redfrogs.com.au/programs/schoolies/volunteering-at-schoolies

I felt compelled that before I invite more people on this podcast and have them share vulnerable secrets. I should follow suit and take a page out of their book.

For the last four years I have volunteered across the world using Workaway.info

I am a big advocate for volunteer travel as I think it is a much more in depth way of travelling and immersing yourself with adventure & culture. 

There's a lot to it and I can imagine you may have many other questions, you can catch me on Instagram at: @dancasadio

For someone who is constantly on the move, the idea of getting into a serious relationship; terrifies me. 

But I am wanting to change, so I found a couple who so happened to be in self isolation with me and have been married for over 33 years. 

In this segment we talk about hookup culture, importance of commitment and is it worthwhile getting in a serious relationship young?

I'm in the home stretch and I only have a couple days left of self isolation until I can finally leave the house! That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time being inside, which I didn't think I would find. 

What does the true meaning of boredom look like? And how do I control it, to then stop it? 

And we've all got different obstacles, different challenges, especially at a time like now. But how do we go about it? 

Thank you to the young man I met a couple years ago who completely went out of his comfort zone and inspired everyone around him. 

What's your diving board? 

Let me know what you think of this podcast, I'm always wanting to receive feedback so I can keep improving it.

I interview my second guest, who also just so happens to be in self isolation with me as well; my mum!

Who has had quite a rough and dark upbringing, but she tells me how she got out of it and who helped her along the way. 

This is a warning that in this podcast we talk a lot about sexual abuse and my own mums history of it; this may be triggering for some who have experienced similar circumstances. If it is quite a sensitive topic for you, please take care as you listen, my mumma bear would love to chat to you. You can reach her on Facebook at; Debra Lee Casadio. 

Thank you for listening and let me know what you think!

I have been trying to post this for the past couple of days, but the internet has been a bit slow. 

But in this episode I talk about clicks and how often they are spontaneous and how they require an impulsive and life changing detour. 

Following my own click impulsively led me back to Europe and in all different and unique areas of the world!  

It's crazy how it all works, but sometimes we need to step out first, see the need and then afterwards we click that we are doing exactly what we should be doing. 

Pay attention to your own clicks, because they can definitely take you on some wild adventures!

Today I talk about my experiences through hitchhiking and why I do it not to save money but for the experience. 

I recall a couple of fun anecdotes that celebrate humanity all across the world.

As well as a few other like minded people from all over the globe send me their adventures of getting out of the comfort zone. 

Thank you for listening and let me know what you think!

Today I have my first guest! 

An ex heroin addict who left his old life behind and embarked on an adventure in order to find something more meaningful. 

He has created several drug rehabs in his hometown, lived a life filled with serving disadvantaged people and has taken his social work skills internationally. 

We laugh as we challenge each others beliefs on addiction and drug use. 

My first guest on the Happenence podcast, Stef Casadio. My dad.

It is now day 03 of self isolation and I talk about one of my most beloved yet secretive stories. 

A 4 month journey of chasing a mysterious Tinder girl over the Atlantic Ocean!

I make a big fool of myself. I'm enjoying the process of learning which direction this podcast will go.

Hello world! This is my first podcast, hence why my speech is very inconsistent and all over the place! 

In this episode I talk about travelling through a chaotic protest then coming home to the global crisis.

As I am in day 02/14 of self isolation, I thought starting a podcast would be a great idea in keeping me sane.
