True Blue Conversations Podcast

Adam Blum

Booking Overview

This is a long-form interview podcast focused on Australian military veterans, police officers, first responders, service, sacrifice, and the transition to civilian life; recent episodes consistently feature external guests with firsthand service experience. Suitable pitches include decorated or experienced veterans, former police and emergency-service personnel, and credible specialists with lived or professional expertise in veteran mental health, resilience, and reinvention. Booking difficulty is medium because the show favors highly relevant subject-matter credibility over celebrity status, though access and sensitivity around service experiences may matter.
