About Me

My name is Samuel Genduso and I’m a multimedia journalism student at Bournemouth University and the producer behind the radio documentary “Esports and Mental Health: The untold story”.

My main inspiration for producing the radio documentary originated from my own curiosity surrounding the insides of Esports and how the community deal with the issue of mental health. From a young age I was fascinated by the glamours lifestyle that the biggest Esports stars live while competing in this simple life. as I grew older, I began to see cracks in the armour of Esports, as some of my biggest Esports celebrates took long breaks from gaming to focus on living a healthier lifestyle.

This is why I hope my documentary can shed some light on the darker sides of competitive gaming and help younger adults understand whether this is the right career path for them.
