    TSHP511: Gossip, rumours and conspiracy theories 

    TSHP511: Gossip, rumours and conspiracy theories 

    Social media is full of conspiracy theories. Currently those about Katherine Princess of Wales are rife. There is great interest, in certain groups, as to whether the stories about her abdominal surgery and public appearance and photograph are real or fake. The thing that interests Ed and I is why is it so important? What is it about gossip and rumour that we all get so hooked up in?

    TSHP510: Good things about where you live

    TSHP510: Good things about where you live

    The idea of needing to get away would suggest that where we are is never really good enough. I get it that the act of taking a break, of doing something different, is stimulating and often relaxing but the question got me thinking about do we appreciate where we are and what we have? Are we able to enjoy the space that we live in.

    TSHP507: War – Is it ever right?

    Ed and I did a similar episode in 2019. The issues of war and potentially a world war were on us then and, sadly, very little seems to have changed. Over the last few months the people visiting my consulting room have been more and more concerned about the potential for another world war. We need to talk about potential conflict...

Great podcast

Great for nodding off at night and helping calm down. Sound like great blokes as well. Really interesting to see the world (specifically mental health world) from someone else’s point of view.

Listening in....always a positive experience.

These podcasts are an easy listen and in my week, provide a place to stop, focus a little and stop the chattering of the mind.
Always helpful and I’d happily recommend.
