Episode 2: Josh Everything is Hunky Dory

This podcast was started to get people talking, to show that you are never really alone, and even at you’re worst you are still valued. The news from last week that Caroline Flack had passed felt like a big moment to me. Im sure like many people listening to this podcast, I was someone who watched her on Love Island very regularly, and For someone so beautiful, successful and loved to feel her personal life being subject to conjecture and torment is a all too familiar problem in a society so connected. We can’t know how Caroline felt in the last few weeks, but I’m sure her closest people would have moved earth and moon to be there for her. And this is maybe what we can take from this tragedy. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. If you have been hit hard by the news as many people have, remember there is always someone to reach out to. You can text or call the samaritans on 116 123.
To have the support of a friend or family member is one of the most sustaining things you can have, and the person on todays podcast is one of those supports. Me and Josh have known each other since we were young kids. From tragic events, such as watching Skins and trying to act like the main characters to going through some serious highs and lows together, its safe to say we know eachother fairly well. Its only until recently though that I in particular have been able to value his friendship on a higher level. As you go through stuff in life, it can sometimes be hard for a friendship to mature to the point where you can talk about anything, good and bad. But as our awareness of eachother grows, I noticed how much I could and came to rely on him, and knowing he is just a text away gives me that next level of support, whether it be work, money or relationships. He is the kind of guy who will ask how you are, and actually listen to what you are saying. So in this episode, I wanted to take the chance to see how he was doing, and give that support back to him. So I lumped my mobile podcast studio over to his house, we ordered a dominos and had a good old catch up.
Thank you again to Josh for being a part of the podcast. It takes a lot to be open and honest about ourselves, and even more to put our thoughts out to the general public.
