This podcast is from a talk that I gave at the So Sexy it Hurts Event held at Mayfield Baptist Church in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, but the final couple of minutes are missing. In this talk I discuss the way in which we view ourselves has radicaly changed, the origins of the myspace shot, how everything is now porn, why everyone is a personal PR firm, why ’sexy’ has become the 21st century adjective of choice and why the image of God is so important to life today. (Those with a keen ear for regional Australian accents will note how with my Melbourne accent I mispronounce Newcastle, thus offending the locals throughout my talk.)
