In this episode, I speak with my good friend, Christopher, a man I met on Twitter a hundred years ago while we were both making a noise about mental health through the medium of THE LONG WALK. 

We cover A LOT of mental health related topics in this podcast – including what motivated him to undertake his endeavour, the support he had from the people he met, the childhood events that led to him developing a mental illness, what it felt like being admitted to the Royal Edinburgh Hospital – the Royal Ed – Edinburgh’s psychiatric hospital – the language used to describe mental ill health – some of his thoughts on mental health professionals and campaigners – his life just now – including his work, family life, how he expresses himself through his art…and a lot more…

We both use strong and challenging language throughout this episode – I think this adds to the authenticity of what Christopher has to say – but you’ll be the judge of that – so I’ve given it an EXPLICIT rating. 

The sound quality isn’t as good as you spoiled bunch have grown accustomed to – since Christopher and I live about 300 miles apart – I’ve used Skype and its new, handy dandy, recording function to bring this episode to you.
