Holden Sheppard: becoming your own type of man

  • Duration: 53 minutes

  • Released: 22 October, 2019

What if you don’t fit the blokey stereotype. How do you become the man you want to be? 

Holden Sheppard grew up in Geraldton, a coastal city north of Perth, where footy reigns supreme. 

He was a self-confessed nerd, more comfortable holding a novel than a Sherrin.

As Holden grew up, he discovered he was gay.

He struggled to come to terms with his sexuality so much he wanted to end his life. 

But just at that moment, he met somebody who would change his life forever. 

After getting married this year, Holden is enjoying success with his debut novel, Invisible Boys. 

The book follows three teenage boys struggling to come to terms with their sexuality in a town where it’s invisible.

I sat down with Holden before his novel was published.

The manuscript had won the T.A.G Hungerford Award, but he had no idea what was to come. 

After only one week on the shelves, Invisible Boys went into reprint. 

Let’s have a good chat with author Holden Sheppard, a man to inspire my son.

She's Australia's first female foreign minister, but how well do you know Julie Bishop?

She became a lawyer and was elected to the Parliament of Australia in 1998. Julie became a minister and then Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, the first woman to hold the position.

Fiercely loyal, Julie watched as one man after another took the top job. She had a tilt at the leadership. But the Liberal Party’s glass ceiling remains intact. After the spill, Julie resigned from Cabinet, wearing red heels to mark the occasion.

She had us asking, 'What’s next?' Would she eventually get her cake with a cherry on top and become Prime Minister? Or did she have other ambitions? This episode was released only a week before Julie Bishop resigned from Parliament. As Julie says, she still has dreams.

If you have a pair of Converse sneakers, it's time to put them on. Why? I’ll tell you in a moment. But first, have you heard of the bloke Vasily Petrenko?

He’s a Russian conductor who sparked controversy when he said orchestras respond better to male conductors because men can focus on the music, instead of other things... if you know what I mean.

jessica-gethin-conducting.jpg

He didn’t stop there. He also claimed when female conductors have families it’s difficult for them to be as dedicated as they need to be. Wow! Before you ask, he does have a daughter.

With attitudes like these, it’d take a strong woman to make it as a conductor. We’re about to meet one. Jessica Gethin is the chief conductor at Perth Symphony Orchestra. The mother-of-two is daring to be different, even wearing Converse sneakers on the podium.

Let’s have a good chat with Jessica Gethin, a woman to inspire my daughter.

For two weeks straight, listeners phoned the radio station to share similar stories of self loathing. Heidi helped organise a swim for people to let go of their body image issues and start fresh.
