Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and mental health issues.
Barry Du Bois had been a successful builder who had retired young and was sailing around the world, when he was tapped to join the TV world, becoming a beloved face on our TV screens thanks to the hugely popular TV series The Living Room. But behind the beaming smile that greeted audiences was a lifetime of trauma and pain, including his public cancer battle.
In this candid conversation, Barry recounts how he almost let his deteriorating mental health get the better of him, until a well-timed phone call from a mate saved his life. He also details his struggle to start a family with wife Leonie, and why he fired one of the doctors treating his cancer.
