Tony Bates is one of Ireland's leading psychologists. He has worked with thousands of patients throughout his many decades in practise, most notably as head of the Department of Psychology at St James's Hospital, a position he held for over 30 years. He also created Jigsaw, The National Centre for Youth Mental Health. And if you're a fan of Bressie's podcast, Where is my Mind?, you're probably very familiar with Tony from his regular appearances on that great show.But having spent his career seeking to understand the lives of others, Tony has now turned his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.His new book is called Breaking the Heart Open: The Shaping of a Psychologist. And In it, he recalls the traumatic events in his own childhood that brought him to a very low point in his 30s ,the years he spent building himself back up, from which he spent years, and what he has learned from the many people in his care over the years. Tony shares that story with me, but this whole area of trauma, recovery, family relationships, therapy, and learning about ourselves and who we are is one that fascinates me, so we talked a lot about all these things too.

Bressie dropped in to see Dave and the lads to first tell him to shut up about Man United! But then, for a general catchup and to chat about his new podcast show "Niall ‘Bressie' Breslin - Where is My Mind?" live in the 3Olympia in April.

Niall Breslin is a lot of things. A former professional rugby player, a professional songwriter and musician and television host, but over the last ten or so years he's turned his focus toward talking and teaching about mindfulness. 

In part 1 we hear from Faye O'Rourke, Bressie and Niamh Regan on the albums that inspired them.

In his 2023 podcast series Niall Breslin talks about energy and communication.

I just love getting a great recommendation for a podcast guest that really, really works out. When The Two Norries joined me for a chat a few months ago, they told me that I should really interview this guy called Willa White , an actor and a comedian. I had heard of Willa before but didn't know too much about him - so we checked him out , and my goodness does this man have an incredible story to tell - from an abusive childhood to drug abuse and how his road to recovery led him to find comedy and acting (in roles including Love/Hate and The Savage Eye). In a humbling and honest conversation, Willa opens up about his upbringing, escapism, jail time, performance and forgiveness.Between laughs and tears, this is one story that you won't want to miss. COMEDY: It's an exciting week for us here at the Mario Rosenstock Podcast as we're up for ‘Best Comedy' at the Irish Podcast Awards! Of course, loads of my podcasting colleagues have been shortlisted too in their own categories – lets tune into Blindboy, who has his eye on Bressie, and David McWilliams, who's planning a mad night out.

In part two of Mind Suite we hear the accounts of Musical Svengali, Synth Gospel enthusiast Oisin O'Shaugnessy. He talks about run ins with rival musicians, his venture into Taiwanese street food, mental health and crashing through a fisher price Wendy house. Ultimately wrapping his Audi around an oak tree. Listen closely, Oisin's Facebook page is make or break for aspiring musicians.

Music education must be available to every child regardless of geography and class,that is the view of Grace Tallon, Executive Director of Newpark Academy of Music in Dublin. She joined Kieran and Niall Breslin or ‘Bressie', The Blizzards frontman and host of the Where Is My Mind Podcast, to discuss why musical education is so important for children.

I've been presenting this podcast for over a year now, and a recurring theme has been the immense difficulty that many of us face when trying to buy a home or find a place with affordable rent. Guests like Bressie, TD Richard Boyd Barrett, and writer Mark O' Halloran have opened up about their struggles trying to find a place to live, and it is really is a sign of the times when successful people like they have such difficulty in this regard. This is also a topic that I'm deeply interested in and so I wanted to dedicate a whole episode of the podcast to it. One of my favourite people to chat to about societal issues like these is journalist Larissa Nolan, not only is she very passionate and informed about the housing crisis, she has also personal experience, having faced homelessness just a few years ago. So in this episode we talk about her personal experience, what has led to this country facing in to such a housing crisis, who is to blame and who might be able to get us out of it. It's a bit of a different one, but I think you're going to really enjoy itCOMEDYWe take a little trip down memory lane and to one of our favourite comedy sketches from the last few months.

Bressie hates mortgage adverts on TV. Having been approved for, and then denied, a mortgage, he knows how unrealistic they are. That a man so industrious and successful would find it really hard to secure a loan from the bank to buy a home says a lot about the state of things right now. So, Bressie shared his story about the mortgage, and we got in to areas that you might expect, like mindfulness and podcasting, but also some areas that you might not expect, like the psychology of colonialism, our shared love of dolly parton, and why I should get some therapy!!Comedy: The Olympics Is kicking off this week, everyone's talking about it, including some of my friends and colleagues here in the podcast world. Eamon Dunphy's The Stand and Vogue and Joanne's My Therapist Ghosted Me give their take.Enjoy!
