"You can’t see it on an X-ray, and you can’t test for it while you’re alive—but for thousands of Australians, the ghost of past head knocks is becoming a daily reality."

We tackle one of the most confronting frontiers in Australian health: CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). While we often associate this degenerative brain disease with the gladiators of the NRL and AFL, Kimberly Roberts from Dementia Australia joins the show to reveal a much broader crisis. From military veterans to survivors of domestic violence and weekend warriors playing community rugby into their 30s, the risk of repeated sub-concussive hits is a ticking time bomb for many.

Listen to John Stanley live on air from 8pm Monday to Thursday on 2GB Sydney and 4BC Brisbane
