Liam Stapleton on facing backlash

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today, we speak with Liam Stapleton, co-host of the Ben, Liam and Belle National drive show on Nova FM. He’s also known as “that guy who does voices at his wife” on social media, where he’s built a following of hundreds of thousands of people. But despite all his success at just 28 years old, Liam’s seen some pretty tough days. In this conversation, Liam opens up about the horrific hate and backlash he experienced after landing his dream gig at Triple J at just 20 years old. Liam’s hilarious, ambitious and kind-hearted nature shines through in this chat, and his strength is a testament to the person he is today.
