We're pleased to announce our next special guest in our Real Talk series. All Black Legend & Mental Health advocate Sir John Kirwan.

During JK's playing career he was one of the games biggest stars, but during that time he was hiding a severe mental health crisis - battling depression.

Come and listen to his story, the highlights and lowlights. Hear about his mental health journey and how he lives with depression, and what he has been doing to help Aussies and Kiwis during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whether you are a rugby fanatic or not, there will be something in this interview for everyone.

Hosted by Jose Thomas, listen to JKs irreverent humour and on-the-money advice which is sure to delight and inspire during these difficult and challenging times.
