In this episode, Cameron Edwards has a yarn with Aaron Percival who reveals truth-telling is about myth-busting, letting people know what really happened and shedding a light on health inequities.

A bit about Aaron

My name is Aaron Percival and I am a Gamilaraay man from Coonabarabran in north-west New South Wales. I am a proud father and uncle with a passion for Indigenous health advocacy, education and most sports. My hope for this podcast is to help as many people as possible to begin their journey in understanding we're all the same—same but different. And that is perfectly fine.
