Funemployed is the name of both a book by Australian author, performer and musician Justin Heazlewood and an album by his alter-ego The Bedroom Philosopher. It was serialised on ABC Radio National, and also made available as a podcast[1]
Described by its author as 'Part confessional and part rogue self-help book' ,[2] Funemployed details financial, psychological and logistical challenges facing creative individuals in Australia. Drawing on Heazlewood's own experiences, the book features interviews with Tony Martin, Gotye, John Safran, Clare Bowditch, Amanda Palmer and many others.
Funemployed was launched with a complete live reading at Melbourne venue The Howler.[3]
