Ned Balme is a newsreporter and journalist based in Queensland working for Channel Nine and a few years back was a punter for the University of Central Oklahoma. His story is winding and engrossing and his own struggle with his mental health has left a mark for the father he is his two children and how he reports the news. Welcome to Episode 42 of The Ebbs and The Flows.
Ned Balme is a newsreporter and journalist based in Queensland working for Channel Nine and a few years back was a punter for the University of Central Oklahoma. His story is winding and engrossing and his own struggle with his mental health has left a mark for the father he is his two children and how he reports the news.
Sadly, technical issues mean 'Weird Fishes' was wiped and unsalvagable, however the rest of this episode is a ripper. Covering The Art of the List around Ned's experience playing College Football in the United States of America, to the day his dad pulled a sickie to take a struggling young lad to the movies and a wholesome Father-Son chat, onward to Ned's experience on the ground during Queensland floods and cyclones, as well as for Brisbane's spate of success in the AFL, this was a brilliant chat to have with my cousin. His moving 'Note To Self' is an ode to a young man in a deep struggle with his mental health and direction, and he has so much value and wisdom to impart on young boys and men who may be feeling the same way.
Welcome to the final stanza of Ebbs' episodes (for the time being).
Ned Balme.
