This week's episode features our first musician. Mick Conlon aka Violin Mick, from the String Ninjas, an instrumental duo from Belfast, joins us for a very fun episode. Along with being a fantastic musician, Mick is also a huge comedy fan and we discuss his journey from working in hospitality to becoming a full-time musician. The last year has been very difficult for musicians and we chat about how the pandemic has affected them and as well as how Mick managed to keep himself sane. We then touch on more lighter topics and find out what drives Violin Mick insane. (Note to self, never buy Mick a Rockshore)

This week features one of the top comedians in the country and the one who inspired me to give it another go. We discuss a wide range of topics from the usual mental health chat, to why Sean might start putting a disclaimer on his Instagram videos, and why you should never wish yourself a happy birthday on Twitter. 

This episode features Luke McGibbon, who pretty much covers all bases on the podcast, and left me wondering why I didn't ask him sooner! Luke is a fantastic local comedian who also works full-time as a mental health counsellor. We chat about his experience working with those who are struggling with their mental health and how he manages his own. This episode is exactly what I wanted the podcast to be, some serious discussion about mental health, with a comedy element attached. 

Luke has a podcast with his co-host Louise Taylor called Therapy Geeks, where they aim to discuss mental health in a lighthearted and conversational way. You can check it out on YouTube and everywhere you get your podcasts.
