Callum MacPherson is the host of the Young Blood - Men's Mental Health podcast and isn't used to being in the interviewee chair! Raised in Adelaide by two teachers, he is a well-read, philosophical man who knew from a young age that he had the presence and ability to write and deliver stories.
Callum's work in the media started at his local radio station Fresh 92.7 and then he moved to Port Lincoln to deliver local news before moving on to Townsville. It was in both Adelaide and Townsville that Callum worked for7NEWS and interviewed political characters like Pauline Hanson and Bob Katter. In this episode, he and Nigel Parsons describe the reality of trying to get stories from people in the middle of a tragic situation.
They also discuss the impact that the media is having on mental health and the future of news as we know it. This episode includes a very frank discussion about the American news media and its attempt to silence Joe Rogan and other platforms that allow people and professionals of all opinions have their say.
Callum then explains how the sudden death of his close friend to suicide impacted him and influenced his professional direction towards starting the award winning Young Blood - Men's Mental Health Podcast. His podcast is one of Lisa's favourite's and is informative and education for both men and women. It includes discussions around steroids, trans, drugs, grief, suicide and so much more. Callum also continues to work in mental health in Adelaide and is a voice for his generation. This is a must-listen episode.
