    Sonia Gray: Medical psychedelics could ease mental health crisis

    WARNING: This week's episode mentions mental health and suicide. If you, or anyone you know, needs help, call or text the free 1737 service, 24 hours a day. Hey everyone. Big news! We've tweaked the Paddy podcast formula, to bring you more of his thoughts on the stories he covers. And this week - with the Government announcing a suicide prevention action plan and the use of magic mushrooms as medicine - two of those stories are about positive ways to improve our mental health. First, Paddy talks to Lotto legend and latest Great Kiwi, Sonia Gray. Her latest project is a doco exploring how LSD and ketamine could (under correct clinical supervision) ease conditions like anxiety and depression. Next, Good Kiwi Jared Rogers exclusively reveals his bid to set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest ever HIIT session. (That's High Intensity Interval Training by the way.) He's got his own mental health journey to tell you about and believes exercise is essential to feeling positive. Finally, this week's How Good is a big-up for our farmers, and why townies have got almost 60 billion reasons to thank the rural economy.
