Something To Talk About is continuing to publish across the summer break, and will be back with a brand new episode on January 12. 

In the meantime, we are revisiting some of your favourites from the 50 episodes we released over the past year. Today’s conversation is with David Campbell, which originally aired March 23, 2024.

Television presenter and singer David Campbell will soon mark an important milestone: ten years since the day he decided to stop drinking alcohol. In a wide ranging conversation with Something To Talk About, David – who is, of course, the son of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes – opens up about why he wanted to break the intergenerational cycle of addiction in his family, how sobriety has impacted his marriage – and whether he sees a day where he tells his eldest son of the role he played in changing his parents’ relationship with alcohol.

You can read David’s column from 2015, “My family’s alcoholism stops with me” here. 

You can catch David on Today Extra, weekdays at 9am on Channel 9 and 9Now.
