Ollie is on the mend following a very hot week. With tales of the heatwave and waiting room observations, and the very sad news of the death of Dame Penelope Keith. 

We'll talk about a week that didn't quite go to plan! Despite the soaring temperatures, join Ollie for some first-class thoughts, a catch-up on last week's highlights, and a rather different end to the week than anticipated!

What an incredible week it has been. So many wonderful things to catch-up on, as well as a take from Ollie on current affairs. It's also worth noting for the avoidance of doubt that this episode is not sponsored by Fortnum & Mason - but arrangements can always be explored (please!). 

Ollie brings a special Wednesday announcement as the Catching Up with Ollie Cognitive Companion - Volume 1 is now published and available to order from Amazon! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H4QK4BSN

There's so much to catch up on this week! From fish and chips to falling over, Ollie has been there and done it this week. A truly action-packed weekend with such nourishment for the soul. A bumper episode with yet more exciting news...

Ollie's had a very busy week, but without masses of activity, so this week sees a brief catch-up, albeit with some very exciting news!

This is one hot episode! Which seems only right as we reach 100 days of Catching Up with Ollie. Ollie's been out and about exploring, and spending time in the garden.

There's not so much to catch up on this week, which is fortunate as Ollie's got a cold. Nonetheless, Ollie looks back fondly on The Devil Wears Prada 2, and last weekend's Eurovision Song Contest.

After a slight hiatus (and unexpected delay owing to a last-minute cinema trip) Ollie is back and catching up on the rest of the cruise, the bank holiday weekend and all the goings on since. 

This special edition has been released to mark the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week 2026. Ollie discusses the theme of MHAW 2026, and also discusses his own experience of mental health challenges, as well as his mental health 'journey' to date.
