If Triple M shuts up, will you open up?
Listen now
Description
Today, microphones across Triple M’s 49 radio stations will switch off for the network’s annual No Talk Day, with a goal to create space for listeners to check-in with themselves and their mates. That’s because every day, nine Australians take their own life – and according to Lifeline, on average, seven of those are men. Partnering with Lifeline, Triple M’s goal is to build awareness and encourage fundraising for this vital national service. Now in its sixth year, between 6am and 6pm, Triple M will pause all shows, announcers and ads, along with all news and traffic reports, as a reminder to make mental health a priority and encourage listeners to start a conversation for themselves or with someone they care about. Gus Worland is no stranger to conversations about mental health. He joined Sacha Barbour Gatt to explain why Triple M keeps wanting to draw attention to talking about your mental health, and what he’s learned from the listeners when making space for them to speak.
