Mental Health and Scale Modeling, plus Jon Bius!
 
Jon Bius joins us for a great conversation about Science Fiction modeling, his journey to becoming a Youtuber, and the culture of scale modeling.

We discuss our regular updates and go over listener feedback, as well as A TON of Hobby Shop Shout outs. MAJOR shout out to the Posse!  We also have Chris Bumgarner from Wrightcon, usually an in-person IPMS model show and contest, but this year it is 100% virtual. Everyone can participate - so check out the details!

The MAIN theme of Episode 5 is Mental Health and the hobby. All of us have had a very tough go in 2020, and we wanted to make sure we addressed it - we all need to know it's OK to be down once in a while, we should talk about our challenges, and also we should check on our friends and family to make sure they are OK.

We hope you will join us in letting everyone in your individual circles know you care about them, and that we are all here for each other. Here are some places you can go if you need to talk to someone or know someone who needs help when they are down:

The Trevor Project for LGBTQ+ Youths Crisis line 1-866-488-7386 or https://www.thetrevorproject.org
National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255
For text help https://www.crisistextline.org/ with service in most areas
NAMI National Awareness of Mental Illness Crisis Line 1-800-273-8255
