Meet James O'Loghlin
Silicosis Support Hub Host
James O’Loghlin is a prominent author, speaker, and broadcaster. He is the host of the ADDRI Podcast series: Dust Disease Diaries: Real lives, real stories of asbestos and beyond, a series of conversations that delve into the experiences of those impacted by asbestos and dust-related diseases. James is widely recognised as the beloved host of ABC TV’s “The New Inventors,” and for his entertaining programs on ABC Radio. He has a deeply personal connection to the devastation of dust diseases, having lost his very close friend James Wallner to mesothelioma in 2021, at the young age of 54. Mr Wallner grew up in a house tainted by loose-fill asbestos insulation sold by the “Mr Fluffy” company in Canberra. Before his passing, he and James successfully campaigned for a financial support scheme to be established for victims.
James is proud to support the Silicosis Support Hub and to sit with people impacted and hear their stories.
