  • #37 Suicide Bereavement Support Service - C=2πr - Storm Names are not that intimidating!

    **This episode begins with a discussion about suicide. You can skip to 16:50 to avoid this**

    We have Annalie and Tom from Change Mental Health's Suicide Bereavement Support Team to talk about this vital service across the Highland and Argyll & Bute area. You can find out more at their website https://changemh.org/sbs/

    Shannon is taking a week off so Tom is joined by a showcase of talented co-hosts with Jess, Danny & Phil here to keep Tom company.

    We try and figure out how many times we've ever needed to work out the area of circle, or the length of the hypotenuse. We also look into the storm names for this winter after Storm Amy took her toll on Scotland. This or That is a World Animal Day special, Guess the Year might have one of those sporting events and Beat Detective gets an 'easy' rating, so no pressure!
