His appeal against extradition is on-going. Other notable podcast appearances by Campbell include James O’Brien's Full Disclosure. The two broadcasters discussed their experiences of adoption and the effect on their lives and mental health. He appeared in Michael Fenton Stevens podcast My Time Capsule in June 2021, on which talked about Charlie Brooker attacking on him in the press and television over a number of years including an expletive laden monologue in 2009 which put him in bed for two days. Campbell said, "I’ve suffered from terrible depression since I can remember — probably since I was a teenager, and I have bipolar disorder type 2. It sent me into a really, really low ebb and I was suffering badly at the time, anyway. Of course I can take people having a go and having a bit of craic and insulting you — it goes with the game. But this was visceral. Really, really visceral and really vicious and really horrible." Music Campbell is a self-taught musician and plays piano, guitar and ukulele. After composing songs for Aberdeen University Theatre on Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Campbell started writing music for radio jingles and commercials at Northsound Radio in 1981, while still at college.

In 2014 Campbell co-wrote the album Just Passing Through with Kate Robbins which was released in July of that year. They both appeared on the record. He composed the original theme music for The Big Questions, the BBC1 Sunday morning debate show which ran from 2007 to 2021.
