About the episode

In this show, the For & Against team get serious - if just for a short time - to discuss head injuries, concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). And given that they can barely pronounce encepha… encephalo… CTE, they bring in Dr Alan Pearce, world-renowned neurophysiologist, to talk about how we might reduce the chances of our sporting heroes spending their later lives suffering from cognitive impairment, depression, suicide and short-term memory loss. To lighten the mood, they also talk LIV Golf (much to Roachy’s chagrin), Bledisloe on a Thursday and why everyone should crush their medication and take it to the casino in a plastic baggie!
