Up Ya Class

Our guest this week is renowned psychiatrist, author and media personality Dr Steve Ellen. We ask how he went from the Frankston race-track – literally – to the hallowed halls of modern medicine, psychiatry and academia. He wonders if his son – or any middle class kid – can ever really understand struggle, and gets into the unspoken class biases in both medicine and psychiatry. And, we talk Steve into applying for Australian Survivor. Find him here also - www.steveellen.com   Up Ya Class is hosted by Nelly Thomas, Shane Liang and Dave O'Neil.
