October 10, 2020 Special Episode - THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
A vodcast we streamed live through Facebook to announce our fantastic news! We have been awarded a successful bid application for funding to allow us to work with Mark Smith / Sixty Six Ninety Nine to produce short films, online media and other fun and exciting forms of media.
We will also be able to finally produce and maintain a website that will act as a direct hub for us to pull all of our information to a central point. It also allows us to purchase new podcast equipment and improve the quality overall.
On top of this we be in a position to cover the costs of Talking Treatment for roughly 8 sessions each. This would allow us to pay for up to 25 men to have counselling with Cwm Taf Morgannwg thanks to Julian John who is the director of Cwm Taf Morgannwg Mind opening a pathway for us to get our clients into Counselling asap.

September 19, 2020 Episode 4 - Be Kind and Mental Health with Paul Carpenter
During this episode we sat down with a true gentleman and one of the nicest, most passionate and caring men you will ever meet, this is the Machine himself, a Breakdancing Champion of 84' - Paul Carpenter.
Paul discussed many subjects with ourselves; self care, suicide, stigma, being a man and dealing with Mental Health. Paul shares a lot of knowledge from personal experience and self reflection. We have been blessed to have Paul join Let's Talk Men's Mental Health as he had inspirations of starting his own group in Tonyrefail, so we were lucky enough Paul reached out to us and wanted to fly the flag for us in Tonyrefail.
Paul shares our morals, views and breaths exactly what it means to be a part of Let's Talk Men's Mental Health - he is an integral part of the group now and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.
You can find Paul on Twitter: @Carpyfella
Follow us below on our social media to keep up to date with the reinstatement of our Tonyrefail group where you can meet Paul for an autograph or just a safe environment to speak/listen and we will also be announcing the dates of our Aberdare group too!
Many Thanks;

September 19, 2020 Episode 2 - New Starter Justice and Mental Health with Gareth Clement
This episode we were joined by a friend who has been negatively impacted by the Furlough Scheme introduced due to Covid-19. Prior to Covid-19 Gareth moved jobs to improve his life, career and work/home life balance. Little did he know that this would cause him to be without income for 12 weeks due to being Furloughed without pay.
Gareth who some may know as The Grumpy Hubby is a social media comedy influencer who has brought us his funny stories around Disneyland and the funny things his wife says... but unfortunately he has also found himself in a difficult situation and this has had an impact on his mental health.
Gareth like many others missed the cut off point for new starters to be eligible for the Furlough Scheme. Gareth discusses how this has impacted him and his family (as well as nearly 10,000 people in a community on Facebook and Twitter). Gareth joined the community called "New Starters For Justice: A Campaign for New Start Furlough" - We discuss all this and more.
