Unexpected and profound insights from smart people you’d like to meet. Mark Parry has a perspective, but as a conduit, he wants you to hear the perspectives of others. Mark’s longstanding commitment to learning, teaching and communication gets more engaging than ever as he chats with a broad and diverse range of intelligent, friendly and interesting people—artists, researchers, scientists, psychologists, film makers—who are thinking up new ideas and then getting on with making a big or small impact on the world. Mark takes time to listen to their perspectives, and so can you. If you ever wanted to know what the shattered ideology of the American dream looks like as a self-aware oil painting on instagram or how reflection and creative thought helps a scientific researcher in pursuit of a cancer cure or what melodramatic sex on 70s Australian television tells us about the politics of our society, then look no further. The goal: to get big, complex, challenging, important and contemporary ideas out to listeners that never knew they were interested. This is Perspectives in Parryville.

    Ep79: Minh Huynh, Learning Experience Designer
    Jan 3 2026
    In this episode we chat about Minh’s early inspiration from a high school chemistry teacher, leading to studies in medical science at Sydney University and further research in biology and cancer. Minh shares some of the challenges of being ‘first-in-family’ as well as the opportunities, complications and struggles in completing honours research and a PhD. We explore the significance of taking a career pause and the benefits of a career change. Minh shares her positive experiences with music, creativity and singing, which offered a break from the intensities of research and academia. We find out more about Minh’s move away from medical research and towards learning and teaching. Minh outlines how she flipped face-to-face teaching approaches to online during the global pandemic with the central question: How do we design learning resources that are going to work for the needs of students? Minh outlines her ‘third space’ academic role and how she co-designs learning resources with academics and students and supports and enhances the student experience, including activities involving generative Artificial Intelligence tools (AI). Minh reflects on the pressures and obligations when student follow a prescribed path, in contrast to modes of learning with broader, more creative boundaries. Minh emphasises the value of connecting with people, building community and encouraging a sense of belonging and the role of curiosity and openness to new ideas and connections. Minh aims to foster student’s unique voice, a ‘why-does-this-matter?’ approach, and a love and enjoyment of learning, particularly in transitional times, in an era of AI and rapid change. Here’s my conversation with Minh Huynh.

    Ep78: Wendy Taleo, Learning Designer, Writer & Musician
    Nov 10 2025
    Today, my guest is Wendy Taleo, a Learning Designer, Writer, and Musician. In this episode, Wendy shares her diverse background and career journey, highlighting her experiences with technology, education, and creative pursuits including craft and music, while emphasising her approach to work and learning through curiosity and openness to new opportunities. We explore the ideas around ‘open education’ and discuss various digital tools and platforms that Wendy uses for creative expression. Wendy discusses her experiences in being awarded Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy and how she aligns her work with the UK Professional Standards Framework with a focus on open education and online course design. We chat about the profound metaphors offered by trees and rhizomes, those mysterious modified subterranean plant stems – like ginger - that help us reconceive our conceptions and approaches to learning and teaching. Wendy shared insights about poetry, ‘freedom of expression’ and ‘rewilding’, with an emphasis on life-long learning, curiosity, collaboration, mentorship and connecting with others both locally and globally.

    Ep77: Darryn Gray, Learning Designer, Educator and Community Builder
    Jul 27 2025
    Today my guest is Darryn Gray, a learning designer, educator, and community builder based in New Zealand. Darryn brings a wealth of experience from his time as a classroom teacher and school leader, through to his current work in adult learning and professional development. In this episode, we explore Darryn’s reflections on moving between education systems — from traditional Eurocentric approaches to learning, to those grounded in Māori worldviews offering rich possibilities for more relational, reciprocal and inclusive learning design. Darryn shares his belief that learning is not something done to people, but something created with them. We hear about his early experiences in a brand-new school, surrounded by technology, and how this sparked his lifelong interest in innovation, collaboration, and community. We also talk about his creation of Crackin’ L&D Down Under, a grassroots community for learning professionals navigating change, technology, and the future of work. In our brief chat, we explore the role of AI, the power of facilitation over instruction, and why trust, humility, and conversation might be our most important tools in a time of constant change. This is a wide-ranging, reflective, and energising conversation. Darryn invites us to rethink what learning could be when we value the contributions that everyone brings.
