We got Axed off the radio for being too risky

One year of hard work, conversations, community voices, and fighting to make mental health matter in the Highlands & Islands… gone overnight.The Fly Fifer Show on Radio Skye was axed by the board without warning, without discussion, and without the respect of a conversation. A platform built around real people, real struggles, and real community support was deemed “too risky” for the station. "The board of directors have asked for your show to be removed for now as they have concerns over the content of Tuesday’s show and believe a live talk show of this nature is too risky for the station". At a time when people are crying out for open conversations around mental health, especially men’s mental health, silence should never be the answer. But here’s the thing… you can remove a radio show, but you cannot silence a voice driven by lived experience, passion, and community. The Fly Fifer is not finished. This is only the beginning. We move forward bigger, louder, and stronger right here on YouTube continuing the conversations that matter, supporting those struggling in silence, and proving that mental health matters whether you are male or female. Especially during Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we refuse to be silenced. Thank you to every single person who supported the show, shared their stories, tuned in, messaged, and stood beside this movement. Your support means everything. Subscribe, share, and stand with us.
