About this episode
As co-host of The Project, Hamish Macdonald has seen and done more than most journalists could ever dream to achieve in their entire career.
Before The Project and a stint hosting ABC’s Q+A program, Hamish worked and reported around the world from war zones to natural disasters, winning a bunch of prestigious awards including a coveted Walkley Award in the process.
But as he discusses with Hugh, Ryan and Josh, he’s also faced bullying throughout his life, whether that be from students during his high school days, or from online trolls during his Q+A days - a challenging experience that drove him to leave social media forever.
This open and honest chat covers it all, and turns out to be a pretty handy, albeit accidental guide on How To Be You.
