Callum MacPherson

Mental health podcaster

2026 SA Local Hero Nominee

Volunteer creator, Callum MacPherson, is the man behind Young Blood – Men’s Mental Health, a video podcast dedicated to the mental health of young men and their loved ones. 

Winner of Best Wellbeing Podcast at the 2024 Australian Podcast Awards, Young Blood is a unique offering that’s shared more than 250 episodes featuring lived experience stories and expert interviews with guests from across Australia. 

When grieving the loss of his mate to suicide in 2019, Callum couldn’t find any platforms for young men to share their struggles with each other and the world, so he decided to create one. 

What started as a personal mission has evolved through six years of work to become part of a cultural shift in the way we think and talk about men’s mental health, driven by the belief that conversations save lives.
