In this episode of the podcast I talk to Anthony Snedden, Rail enthusiast, Speedway Photographer, Self Confessed Bogan and one of the people who inspired the beginning of How You Going Mate?. We chat about a pretty wide variety of topics from living with Aspergers Syndrome, How to take a great Speedway photograph, his love of the great Kevin Bloody Wilson and how important comedy is in dealing with serious topics and how learning to laugh at himself and the things around him help Anthony manage his mental health.

In this episode I talk to one of my favourite guests, Me. 2021 was a year unlike any other and for me and my family and presented a whole raft of new challenges. In 2007 I was diagnosed with depression. I often say that I have recovered from this diagnosis but this year was as close as I have ever felt to feeling like I was becoming depressed again. In this podcast I talk about the tools and strategies I used to manage my mental health this year including changing my mindset, keeping a routine and buying a puppy!

In this episode I talk to my longtime friend and colleague, Jackie about living with Bi Polar. In this honest and eye opening discussion we talk about when Jackie first started to realise she had a mental health condition, how she came to understand it, being hospitalised (sometimes involuntarily), the incredible support she received from her husband and the role that ECT played in her recovery. Jackie continues to live and thrive with a mental health condition and I can most definately say that we have never told a story quite like Jackie's before.
