TORONTO – Canadian broadcaster Michael Landsberg has launched a new daily talk show called Isolation Nation With Michael Landsberg
Besides hosting Off The Record on TSN for 18 seasons and First Up for the past three years, Landsberg has become one of Canada’s leading mental health voices and is directing his talents towards helping people deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Devoted to supporting mental health and personal well-being, Isolation Nation debuted earlier this month attracting thousands of viewers. Going forward, new 30-minute episodes will now air live at 5 p.m. ET weekdays across all of Landsberg’s SickNotWeak social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The show features Landsberg speaking candidly with prominent guests about the unique struggles of dealing with difficult mental health issues in the face of the Covid-19 health, economic and social crisis, says the press release. He is also joined by leading medical experts and thought leaders along with a wide-range of notable guests from the sports and entertainment world.
“For a decade I tried to describe how mental illnesses like depression and anxiety feel. I spent a thousand hours trying to convince so many that depression is a sickness and not a weakness. Well, since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, many of those people who could not understand have begun to get it. That’s because they have become us. There has been a pandemic of mental illness that has followed the virus pandemic,” said Landsberg.
“I am 100% committed to running Isolation Nation every day until we see a light at the end of this COVID-19 tunnel. I’ll be calling on my full network of friends, colleagues and yes, even those who hate me – I’m looking at you, Conor McGregor – to be there for those who need it in these dark days.”
