Today, on the A Side, we’re joined by a Helen Kapalos, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist whose work was instrumental in advancing the legalisation of medicinal cannabis in Australia. With more than 20 years’ experience as a broadcaster across Australia’s commercial and public networks, she directed, produced and appeared in a groundbreaking documentary on medical cannabis that was later acquired by Netflix and SBS and screened nationally, helping bring the issue into the public spotlight.

Helen is also a published author, commentator and speaker on multiculturalism, public policy and social change, known for her work advocating for equity, inclusion and evidence-based reform.

On the B Side, we were joined by award-winning powerhouse comedian, writer, director and producer Justin Hamilton.

A fixture of the Australian comedy scene for decades, Justin has conquered live stand-up, television and radio, earning his reputation as a genuine “comedian’s comedian.” With more awards than we could possibly list, he remains one of the most respected and influential voices in the industry.

He’s also a proud cannabis consumer; and in this conversation, nothing is off limits.
