In this episode, I’m in Berkshire taking a walk with Tom Cox and discussing his experiences with anxiety. Tom is married to his long-term partner Danny and they have an adopted son. Tom works in digital marketing for a major toy brand but is also a prolific parenting blogger and you can find him on Instagram at @unlikelydad. I’ve known Tom for a little while now but had no idea about his mental health issues. I suppose it just goes to show, you never know what’s going on inside someone else’s head. I was so pleased Tom wanted to open up for Man Talk, I hope you enjoy it…

In this episode, I travel to Bristol to visit popular children’s author, Mark Lemon (@the_dad_author). I first came across Mark last year when he wrote a moving piece for The Guardian newspaper detailing the murder of his father when he was just 12 years-old. Mark talks about the grief he’s suffered all his life and how he’s now using his experiences to help others through his charity links…

In this episode, I visit Connor Magee (@dads_and_donts), and over coffee in his leafy Surrey garden, we chat about his PND (Postnatal Depression). Connor is a father to two and works in finance.

In this episode, I talk with Matt Read (@foxsaidwhat) in a sunny park in Bristol and discuss his depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Matt is a step-dad and dad, and has his own digital marketing agency. Matt has recently started speaking up on Instagram about his mental health, and I was keen to explore why this might be. We also hear about how his relationship with his father has shaped the way he is now.

In this episode, I provide an introduction to Man Talk, discussing why I've launched the show and how I hope to help tackle men's mental health. I also talk openly about my own experiences with mental health, which have had a huge impact on me all through my adult life.

In this episode, I travel to Kent to speak to firefighter and father of two, Mat Riley, and discuss his experiences with anxiety. Many of you will know Mat from The Great British Bake Off and from his popular Instagram and YouTube channels @thelifeofrileyfamily. Mat has suffered with anxiety for most of his adult life, and in this incredibly honest chat, we talk about his low points, his coping strategies and his hopes for the future.
