Episode 18:

We're straight talking music & mental health. We talk to singer/ songwriter and all round nice guy Col Patterson. Col tells us about his struggles with social anxiety when he was younger and the traumatic event of a "coward's punch" to the back of the head whilst on a night out. The impact the assault had on his mental health years after and the depression that is triggered on the anniversary of a suicide, where Col found the body of someone who completed suicide. We discuss our Smiles & Riles, Allan tries to convince Peter that buying a pair of Air Jordans is good for his kids and Allan is majorly riled by people hitting kids.
