The Toolbox

Rumours have been flying and word on Main Street is that this is the last The Toolbox for a while.

Rollie saddles up the horses and lights the beacons to signal for help because between cancelled trains, lost phone chargers and malfunctioning tech Hamish isn't able to feature. Fortunately great friends of the show, Andy's Man Club Lead Co-ordinator George Donnelly, and the Dewsbury Duke Jake Chappell are on hand to help Rollie round off an impactful last The Toolbox at Spark.

There will be more from The Toolbox in the near future but for now Rollie and Hamish will be taking a break. Thank you to all the listener support we have received in a hectic year and a half of doing the show, and we'll see you all down the road.

If you urgently need to speak to someone the number for Samaritans (UK) is 116 123.

If peer to peer support is more your speed then go online to andysmanclub.co.uk and find your nearest support group.

And if you're a bit lonely, a bit bored and don't want to talk about anything in particular then keep an eye out for the return of Spark's phone in show The Bedtime Babble On with Kai and Hayden.

Rollie saddles up his horse and rides out to unload the invisible backpack, tired of being a lone ranger he has sent a telegram to Chinni to come and save his bacon in the radio desert.

Rollie misses Hamish and ponders on grief and transitions in the wake of losing a friend.

For anyone affected by issues talked about in this show the number for Samaritans UK is 116 123.

Rollie presents a bumper episode all about testosterone, speaking to Professor Scott Wilkes, GP & Head of the University of Sunderland Medical School, and Dr Beccie Owens, evolutionary psychologist and Head of the University of Sunderland Psychology Department

Troubled skies are forming over Toolbox Towers, Hamish has been struck down with a pox and is confined to his quarters with a box of tissues and a bottle of Calpol. What is Rollie to do? Fortunately Jake Chappell and Oliver Ross step in to save Rollie's ass. They unpack the invisible backpack and welcome Dale Briscoe onto the show.

Dale has a long, and very personal, history with negative male mental health. After an incident which left him with 21 broken bones he has a new food and coffee van and likes engaging people in conversation making their day better one cup of coffee at a time.

The lads load up the invisible backpacks once again with friend of the show Dominic "Chinni" Copeland drummer of alternative-punk band Dead Wet Things.

Chinni opens up to Rollie & Hamish about his struggles with his health anxiety over the past several months, and educates the lads on the helpfulness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
