We Are Lonely podcast

Our 2024 Loneliness Index revealed that many Australians still struggle to recognise or talk about loneliness, with young people aged 16–25 among the most affected. That’s why we’re continuing to raise awareness and reduce stigma through initiatives like our We Are Lonely podcast. 

Season 3 of the We Are Lonely podcast, hosted by Dr Ali Walker, explored the real stories of young Australians navigating loneliness, reaching over 2.5 million unique users through engagement on social media. As at March 2025, the We Are Lonely podcast episodes have been downloaded more than 118,000 times across the 3 seasons, demonstrating the value of authentic storytelling as a way of connecting to young people about loneliness.
