Magda Szubanski’s mission for a healthier Australia
Listen now
Description
Magda Szubanski did not know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to host a national TV event on health in Australia. And she definitely didn’t know she’d walk away with a new health-obsessed bestie, in Dr Sandro Demaio.  Together Magda and Sandro learned more and more about the barriers to health facing everyone in this country, and the project grew bigger and bigger.   Before she knew it, Magda herself was at the centre of the story, undergoing tests and receiving results on a national broadcast! So when we say Magda has lived experience of the topics covered in this season of In Good Health, we really mean it.   Now, Magda sits down with said bestie, Dr. Sandro Demaio, to reflect on what she’s learned about health this year, her vulnerability while making the show, and what she hopes to see for the future of health in Australia.    +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.
