On episode 4, Sam is again joined by Richie Whelan, as Chris has stepped away from the podcast.

In the first section, Sam shares what he's been doing with his week off work, including training he's done, Toy story 5 excitement, and his wife finally losing the plot completely!

The lads also dive deeper into what their respective rolls at the Mersey Mind Project are.

In the second section, Sam and Richie are joined by two lads from Mersey Mind Project.

Eddie Morgan, a trustee at the charity, and Sean Stewart, a service user, tell us all about their respective careers in the British armed forces. We discuss why they wanted to join, what they got up to whilst they served, and about when they left, and how they feel they were supported.

Welcome to episode 2 of Minds on the Mersey.

In part one, Sam and Chris chat about mental wellbeing coping methods and strategies, as well as how they spot signs of poor mental health.

In part two we had the pleasure of having the incredible Carly Openshaw as our first ever guest. We spoke all things ADHD/Autism, how Carlys CIC tiny tools for big feelings are helping families in our region, what families can do to get the help they might need, and what her ambitions are for the future of tiny tools for big feelings.

There was even some chat about corrie, and the worst joke you'll ever hear on a podcast. And that was just from Chris!
