    The Netflix show 'Heartstopper' written by Alice Oseman has taken the world by storm for obvious reasons. It is a ground breaking and heartwarming series that speaks to all people of all generations - not just the young LGBTQ+ kids that feature in the show. Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring may be fictional character but they really have touched the lives of so many and I was desperate to record an episode where we get to reflect on it as slightly older members of the LGBTQ+ community. Is it actually better to be gay today? Are things getting better? How similar were the experiences at Truham and Higgs to what we experienced at school? Do the likes of Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson even exist?! In this episode I enlist the help of 5 friends (Marc Jacobson, Charlie Wood, Charlie Davies, Talia Lewis and Tal Booker) to help me dissect the series and reflect on its impact. I ask 5 key questions What was your experience of watching Heartstopper? To what extent was the series a reflection of your school experience? Please explain how/why/why not? Which characters, if any, did you see yourself in? Please explain who/why/how etc. If you didn't, please explain why not. How would you describe what the series meant to you in ONE word?

    TW: This episode podcast discussing distressing themes around suicide. If you feel you may be triggered by such content please kindly do not listen. In this episode, I sit down with the insanely talented award winning mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin. Jonny who is a film producer, public speaker, vlogger and published author received an MBE in 2017 for services to mental health suicide prvention. Jonny speaks publicly about living with mental illness and has written articles and given various interviews on TV, Radio and in print around the world to help educate and break stigma. Jonny Benjamin began having mental health problems at a young age and his parents first took him to see a psychologist at the age of 5. He later developed depression at 16 and was eventually diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, in his early 20s. He had also been experiencing the delusion that he was on his own version of the film, The Truman Show, and was hospitalised as a result of his condition in January 2008. He ran away from the hospital intending to take his life by jumping off a bridge. A passerby found him on Waterloo Bridge and talked him out of committing suicide, which lasted long enough for the emergency services to arrive and return him to hospital. This incident became the focus of his 2014 campaign, Find Mike. Jonny published his first book in May 2018. His second book, The Book Of Hope, will be a collection of quotes, poems and stories by himself and others to inspire recovery and hope which will be published in April 2022. In 2018 Jonny launched his new youth mental health charity, Beyond. The charity is a grant-giving organisation that aims to provide mental health support to young people, their families and teachers. It is being led by a Youth Board, who together with Jonny, created the UK's first mental health festival for schools and colleges in early 2021.
