SANE on the airwaves

SANE on the airwaves

Dear all,

Just thought you'd like to know that I've done a number of interviews today with ABC regional radio around the country. These were following on from a SANE press release about the availability of the forums via mobile phone app, and focussed on trying to connect rural and regional Aussies with MI. A couple of them also interviewed Jack Heath, SANE's CEO after me so I didn't get to hear what he said either.

Hopefully they have come over ok, I've found it very hard not knowing in advance what or how many questions they are going to ask me. So if anyone has heard any of them I'd really appreciate some feedback (good, bad or indifferent) from you as to how they come across. I was thinking of you guys @Loopy when I did Tassie, @kenny66 when I did Qld; and @Rick when I did SA just now. I really wanted to be able to say hello, and to affirm @Rick 's sign-off - that even in the darkness -

hope endures...

Kindest regards,

Kristin

PS NSW is tomorrow, and Vic I'll let you know if it happens. I don't know if there have been any enquiries from WA.

Re: SANE on the airwaves

Hey Anne,

They weren't available as sound or transcripts, except for the one I put the link to in my comment. You can go to SANE's facebook page and the interview is there.

In answer to your WA question - no I'm sorry. None for Vic either in the end. Very disappointing. There were supposed to be 2 for Vic but so far as I know they didn't go ahead. I don't think there were even any enquiries from WA. Very sorry.

Kind regards,

Kristin
