In this episode, Sara Carnegie talks with former Old Bailey Judge, Graham Boal QC, whose recently published book, ‘A Drink at the Bar’ details his struggles with depression and alcoholism. During their conversation, he talks about the ups and downs of a career at the bar, his sense of ‘imposter syndrome’, followed by his experiences as a judge which he loved, finally finding his comfort zone and overcoming his demons. He is now retired, and while he looks back on his career with real fondness, he hopes that in writing about his difficulties, it will help others in seeking support and feeling hope.
