Tom Savage is the founder of Three Red Kings, a website dedicated to Munster and Irish rugby. He's also a distinguished writer and commentator on the game. In fact, if you look at Tom's life, you'd never know that he'd recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He joins Rachel on the podcast to chat about the 14 years of "carnage" of delusions and paranoia that led to him going to a Garda station last year to report that people were following him and ending up in a psychiatric ward. He speaks candidly about his battle with his multiple realities, where he is now and what it's like to not be able to rely on what your mind is telling you.
