Episode Bogan Gate, Anxiety, Kyle & Jackie O… and an Escape Goat? | Mitchell Coombs

0:00 1:01:40

This episode contains lived-experience discussion of anxiety, depression, prescribed medication, alcohol use, bullying, body image and mental health struggles.

Mitchell Coombs joins Kate and Claudia for a very funny, very honest chat about anxiety, burnout, being chronically online and somehow making a career out of being perceived when, as a kid, he wanted the exact opposite.

Mitch takes us from growing up in Bogan Gate to going viral, appearing on Sunrise and eventually working on the Kyle and Jackie O Show. He talks about what Kyle and Jackie are really like off air, the Virgin Mary video controversy, radio burnout and what was happening behind the scenes when things blew up.

The conversation also gets into therapy, antidepressants, drinking, ADHD, relationships, Wednesday Wanders, why “wellness is fucking boring”, and building his podcast Escape Goat after being told nobody wanted to hear his voice on radio.

Huge thanks to Mitchell Coombs for joining us.
