Many people around the world love nothing more than fanatically spectating professional sport - on and off the field - where players are idolised and honoured. Ever read a fan page that celebrates umpires? Well, this cohort is ridiculously overlooked, in relation to their occupational stressors and vulnerability like, negative stereotyping, lack of respect, abuse from innumerable participants, criticism from the media - all of which can contribute to poor mental health and a compromise of their decision-making abilities. Entering his 18th season, legend VFL/AFL umpire, Ray “Razor” Chamberlain has a lot to say about his career trajectory and how the game has impacted his wellbeing - positively and otherwise. Razor Ray joined my live to talk about what it feels like, being the “other Ray” on the panel and also share reasons behind his mental health charity, the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION.

Sometime in the 1980’s, Darren Wagner began his love of theatre in San Jose California, which led to a short-lived career treading the boards. As it happened, Darren was not destined to be a Broadway actor and re-imagined his life to become a deputy sheriff at Clark County, Ohio during the 1990’s. The next time Darren stepped onto the world stage was in 2012, when the community of his new home town of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, experienced a school shooting that became one of Americas deadliest massacres. Hear what it felt like being Darren back then and what it feels like today, including his involvement with 26 Pebbles - a verbatim play about the members in the Sandy Hook community and how they experienced the tragedy - building endless strength of community, courage and compassion.
