On this weeks episode we have part one of a two part Mens Mental Health Special. We talk to John Lightfoot, an advocate and champion of Mens Mental Health as well as an old friend.

As part of the conversation we talk about suicide so it might be suitable for some listeners. However if you are affected by any of the topics we discuss we will be putting numbers and websites onto our social media and our Whatsapp channel which you can find my searching for IDKMB in Whatsapp.
