The One with Campbell Johnstone

Listen on

Episode notes

It’s been nearly two years since Campbell Johnstone shared the story of his sexuality with the world and – in the process – made a little bit of history.

As a New Zealand rugby star who’d been capped by the national team, Campbell’s decision to speak publicly about the fact he’s gay made him the first out All Black – and when we spoke with him at the time of his decision, life was a bit of a whirlwind for him.

So it’s great to get Campbell back on for a catch-up – and a look at how life has been since then.

We talk about Campbell’s own journey with his sexual orientation; his relationship with the idea of ‘masculinity’; opening up publicly about his sexuality and that decision; the impact his story had; the state of the current All Blacks squad; and yes, planning a wedding!

It’s always cracking to have a chat with Campbell, and it was brilliant to catch up with one of the nicest men in sport – so we hope you love this episode!
