GBA 201 Mel Jones

In GBA 201 we get better acquainted with Mel Jones. She talks about so many things both personal and political; sex, depression, therapy, age, forgiveness, family, performing, community, discrimination, news, songwriting and speaking words are just a few of the topics and tangents we cover.

Content Note: This episode deals with mental health issues and therapy. The conversation also covers issues around child abuse and sexual abuse, although it doesn't contain graphic descriptions of either. It also contains plenty of love, warmth and laughter
