In this launch episode of Call 4 to Connect, host Kim Kleidon explores something beautifully simple but profoundly powerful: picking up the phone and calling four (or more) people each week. The movement created by Charles and Tracy Alder tackles loneliness as the quiet crisis it is, reminding people they’re seen, valued and never alone.

Our guest, veteran broadcaster Chris Smith, opens up about the highs of a public career and the deep lows that followed his highly publicised termination in 2022. Chris shares candidly about depression, rehab, family strain—and the tsunami of support that kept him here. The through-line is clear: it wasn’t pep talks that helped, it was presence. Real phone calls. Real time. More than 60 seconds.
