Podcasts

I have really embraced Pod Casts over the last few years, they accompany me on my runs, sleepless nights, on long car rides, when I am in the kitchen pretending to know how to cook quinoa and perhaps mostly when I am just sitting on the couch not folding the washing. I have made a list of some of my favourites below, and if you have any to add then please leave a comment or contact me and I will add them on. Oh and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to link to iTunes, but for now just pop the title in your App Store search bar and it should come up somewhere along the way!

Mental Health Themed

Depressed Not Dead:

In almost a ‘blog on tape’ the wonderful JP aka ‘Jamoalki’ shares his personal journey with chronic major depression and suicidal ideation, he also has episodes featuring guests with lived experience of mental illness such as Jodie from the podcast Mental Health Raw & Open, Claire from Exercising Depression and yours truly. I have always found this podcast highly relatable and easy to listen to plus the sound quality is always great!

No Feeling Is Final:

This documentary-esque podcast by Honor Eastly paints a deep, sometimes dark, often funny and insanely relatable eloquent picture of her journey through mental illness and thoughts relating to suicide. The production quality is something else, thoughtfully and honestly narrated by Honor, she showcases audio snap shots of some of her hardest moments recorded over a 5year period of time and discusses how these have affected her.
