The Imperfects podcast is back for another season, with new episodes dropping from today via its new home at LiSTNR.

Season 7 kicks off with legendary Australian surfer Mick Fanning sitting down with hosts Hugh van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton and Josh van Cylenburg for a wide-ranging chat about mental health, vulnerability, loss, grief, connection and resilience.

Fanning has experienced soaring highs and crushing lows, both during his time as a professional surfer and in his life away from the public eye.

He has lost all three of his brothers in separate tragic incidents, and in 2015 was catapulted to global attention when he had an encounter with a great white shark while competing in a surfing competition in South Africa.

While the incident cemented Fanning as ‘legendary’ in many people’s minds, he admits on the podcast the heaviness he felt in its aftermath and the ongoing struggles he had to confront as a result.

The Imperfects has tackled everything from living with ADHD to post-natal depression, menopause and dementia. Each episode sees guests open up about their vulnerabilities, imperfections and struggles, as well as sharing any wisdom they have learned along the way.

Executive Producer and Creative Partner Bridget Northeast says “As the fourth ‘imperfect’ wheel of this podcast, and the person who drives the show behind the scenes, joining LiSTNR feels like rocking up to the Ferrari pit crew in a Holden Barina and the four of us are absolutely stoked to be here.”

All episodes of The Imperfects are now available on LiSTNR with a new episode available every Monday from February 10. Listen to episodes here.
