It’s Been Said

It’s Been Said is Bermuda’s first-of-its-kind radio show dedicated to bringing in-depth local stories surrounding mental health to the forefront. Spearheaded by Kat Wade, whose career in social work spanned roles from Substance Abuse Counsellor at Bermuda Youth Counselling Services, Child Protection Officer, to Coordinator for Seniors at the Bermuda Department of Health, the show reflects her deep desire to make positive change on a cultural level. Having brought her expertise to six countries across the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa, Kat returned to Bermuda with a clear mission: to use her global perspective to serve her home island by creating a platform where Bermudians can listen in and take the first step to healing through the power of storytelling.

Airing Monday nights from 7:30-8:30pm on MAGIC 102.7 FM, the show features thought-provoking one-on-one interviews that highlight both the complexity and courage of Bermudian life. In addition, co-hosted segments include Perspective & Perception with son Gianluca Gibbons (focused on providing personal growth tips in business & relationships), Sister Talk with sister Shawnarika Wade-Samms (a fun-filled hour infused with music and sisterhood), and Taariq’s Variety Show with colleague Taariq Tucker (an lively space for chats on current culture and live listener calls).

In a time when the news reflect rising crime and disconnection, It’s Been Said offers a counterbalance – a safe space for Bermudians to reconnect and restore resilience in the community. These dynamic conversations about overcoming life’s challenges invite the audience to reimagine and rewrite their own life stories with renewed perspective and positive mindset tools to pursue their happily ever after.
