From The Podcast
Out of My Mind
WINNER BEST EPISODIC PODCAST: VOYAGER MEDIA AWARDS 2020. From Stuff’s podcast team, a series of true stories about mental health. In each episode one person talks to journalist Adam Dudding about their life, and the view from inside their head. You’ll learn what it’s like to hear voices or see things that no one else can; about the reality of living with anxiety or postnatal depression; about the lows and highs of bipolar disorder. These first-person dispatches from the front lines of mental health are powerfully moving, yet also full of moments of surprise, tenderness and humour.Join Podchaser to...
