Jim Finch's life changed forever when his car flipped over in a devastating accident that left him with multiple neurological issues. He developed PTSD, suffered from seizures - and even became afflicted with Tourettes. But the medication he was prescribed was almost as bad: triggering fits, impotence and bloody discharge. Then he discovered cannabis... CONTENT WARNING: interview includes account of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempt, highly offensive language and on-mic drug use. _____________________ Now a registered, legal user of skunk, Jim campaigns for medical marijuana to be made available on the NHS. As he explains in this intense, compelling conversation with Olly, for disabled people who can't afford a private prescription, the current alternatives are to support the criminal black market, or risk arrest by growing weed themselves. _____________________ In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123.

Hotlines bei denen es nicht um Erotik oder Wetter geht?! Es gibt sie! Auf Call808 gibt es DJ-Sets und ein Projekt, um großen Streaminganbietern den Spiegel vorzuhalten.

You're in my Hotlines today, and Producer Erica and I are taking your calls! Today's theme: conversations you need to have with your sex partners. First, how long should you wait to tell casual sex partners you're sleeping with other people? We're all up-leveling our communication skills, so I make the case for telling them immediately. Next, she's on ADD medication and likes a drink or two – is it negatively affecting her orgasm? Or should her partner have a deeper conversation with her about turn-ons? After that, we've got a young couple who just started having oral sex. She's sore afterwards -- is it a medical condition or underlying shame? Finally, she just discovered her partner watches porn… and the subjects don't look like her. How can she talk to him about it without judgment? Have a question?

"Find your unique superpower. Everybody's different, but find that one thing that you can bring to the table that nobody else has and lean into that." "I don't think those vanity metrics resonate with consumers... just imagine redefining that success and saying, hey, we served 1200 families in 2024..." "[Max Creek's co-founder said] one of the reasons why I started the band was to give people a place to call home." "True communities thrive when the connections are from within." "Grassroots movements organically are not get rich quick movements. It takes time, it takes energy. You need to be in it for the long haul. You need to have the authenticity..." "...real estate agents are the backbone of communities." "I would rather have 1000 true fans who are passionately involved... than I would say 10,000 people who could care less." "...they made decisions that maybe weren't the best business decisions, but certainly favored the community itself." "You can't have it both ways. They can't boast about those things and also want to be treated as an elevated professional."

California wildfires ripped through L.A. this year, killing 29 people, destroying more than 18,000 buildings, and putting wildland fires back into the headlines. But what's it like being one of the poorly-paid workers sent in to risk your life to fight the flames?  Wildland firefighter Nathan Bell has ‘held the line' across the United States: in Elk City, Idaho; on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Utah; and in the desert conditions of Sedona, Arizona. For 16 hour workdays, for weeks away from home, he will hike up a mountainside towards a raging fire with a 40 pound backpack on his shoulders, and a chainsaw over his shoulder. And his starting salary is less than a worker at Burger King... In conversation with Olly, he exposes the back-breaking, exhilarating life of a wildland firefighter - and the unspoken trauma so many of his peers experience ‘between seasons'... _______ Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for A.I. makeovers.  From LolaAI, the ‘stylist and shopping copilot' baked in to Open Wardrobe, to the at-home body scans offered by Bodymapp, can Ollie get himself a fresh Spring look - using only A.I? As ever, frankly, the results are mixed… _______ Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox pops into Kiiroo to see how their teledildonics have adapted to the world of OnlyFans - and answers a listener question from a new Mum struggling with sex after breastfeeding.  Once a source of pleasure, her boobs now feel sore, sensitive, and more like functional tools than instruments of intimacy. Will they ever feel sexy again? With the help of breastfeeding peer support worker Emilie Wardle, Frome Birth Talk's Lucy Plummer and sex and relationship therapist Rhian Kivits, Alix explores considers the under-discussed issues of milk mishaps in the bedroom and babies getting a little too handsy; and proposes new erogenous zones for when ‘boobs are off the table'... _______ Music this month comes from Manchester indie band The Lottery Winners, and their infectious single, ‘Turn Around'. It's our Record of the Month, and it's out now. _______ SUPPORT US - every penny counts: THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generous donations - independent shows like ours only exist with your support:

After four suicide attempts, Andrea Rosenhaft shares her journey of battling anorexia, depression, and borderline personality disorder.  She emphasizes the importance of reaching out for help and highlights the availability of support through hotlines and therapy. Andrea credits dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) for her recovery. She discusses the impact of her parents' relationship and her father's alcoholism on her mental health. Andrea also shares her experiences as a psychotherapist and writer, offering advice to those struggling with mental health issues. Key takeaways from this episode: Reaching out for help is crucial when feeling hopeless and alone. Recovery is possible with the right therapy and support. The relationship between parents can have a significant impact on a child's mental health. Finding the right therapist may require perseverance. Sharing one's story can inspire and provide hope to others.

In this episode of the Write it Scared podcast, we discuss the difficulties writers face when their personal emotional wounds intersect with their storytelling. I offer practical advice, including prioritizing mental well-being, writing lean, summarizing or skipping emotionally charged scenes, channeling emotions, taking breaks with accountability, and shelving projects if necessary. I emphasize the importance of seeking professional help when needed and provide a link to mental health resources across seventeen nations. See the List of Hotlines for mental health support.

Caz Jaine faced danger, isolation and even assault when she took a foreign office role in Basra during the ‘reconstruction' phase of the Iraq war.  But she thrived on the adrenalin of conflict zones - and was even diagnosed with ‘post-traumatic development'... As she explains to Olly in this wide-ranging conversation, her subsequent experiences as a Police emergency call handler led her to broaden her self-care and resilience. Now a meditation teacher, Caz takes police officers on forest retreats, and advocates passionately for culture change and emotional support within blue light professions. CONTENT WARNING: suicide, self harm, animal harm. — Meanwhile, in The Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart checks out the trend for ‘philanthrotainment' - influencers leveraging their platforms to raise money for charity.  Is the technique - evidenced by the likes of Youtuber Mr Beast and Instagram's King of Chemo - a more direct, straightforward way of supporting charitable causes than the corruption-prone supply chains of larger organisations? Or do household name organisations remain the best places to donate, given the administrative struggles of smaller charities?  With the help of Lucinda Rouse from Third Sector, Ollie navigates the best way to help out this Winter - and establishes his own side-hustle to support Mann-fans in need: * REGISTER NOW FOR OLLIE'S MODERN MANN SKILL-A-THON *: https://www.modernmann.co.uk/skills — Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox, fresh from discovering the etymological roots of orchids and testicles, advises a widowed Mann-fan about post-bereavement dating. When is the best time to disclose that your wife has died? Is it best to blurt the information out early, and risk ruining the conversation, or better to wait until you've established a deeper connection? And what are the stigmas around desire when you're recently bereaved?  With the help of WAY (Widowed And Young) and Lets Talk About Loss, Alix reveals all. The Foxhole is sponsored by The Handy, a high-end toy for men that bridges the gap between fantasy and reality.

Casey Armstrong defied the odds of many young care leavers but her experience with foster care came at a huge personal cost. Entering foster care at fourteen after a turbulent upbringing, Casey didn't realise the clock was ticking before she would be forced to leave her stable foster home. Due to something called the Care Cliff, Casey was expected to be independent at eighteen. The relationships and support she knew suddenly ended and her life fell apart. Now, 5 years later Casey is at University studying Astrophysics, a subject that inspired her to change her life. However, her journey could have been different and she desperately wants to see change in the care system. Here, she talks to Annie about her experience before and after going into care, what she endured due to the Care Cliff and how, despite this, she managed to change her life for the better. Content warning: multiple references to attempted suicide. Thank you to Become Charity for partnering us with Casey (The charity for children in care and young care leavers). The charity is campaigning to end the Care Cliff.

You're in my Hotlines today, and Producer Erica and I are taking your calls! Today's theme: conversations you need to have with your sex partners. First, how long should you wait to tell casual sex partners you're sleeping with other people? We're all up-leveling our communication skills, so I make the case for telling them immediately. Next, she's on ADD medication and likes a drink or two – is it negatively affecting her orgasm? Or should her partner have a deeper conversation with her about turn-ons? After that, we've got a young couple who just started having oral sex. She's sore afterwards -- is it a medical condition or underlying shame? Finally, she just discovered her partner watches porn… and the subjects don't look like her. How can she talk to him about it without judgment?See the full show notes at sexwithemily.com.Show Notes:How to Master Lotus PositionHow To Meditate, Masturbate, Manifest Like a ProMorgasm CBD Arousal LubricantPlayground LubeFeeld Dating AppSHOP WITH EMILY!

“If I'd done this three years ago, I'd have been getting through it without revealing anything”. Josh Widdicombe is a changed man. The hilarious podcast Parenting Hell, which Josh co-hosts with fellow comedian Rob Beckett, has become a sensation. It's changed him as well as the conversation around men being parents. Described as an “ace observationist” by the Guardian, Josh is also known for being a star of Channel 4's The Last Leg and this year has released a brand-new Sky Max series Hold the Front Page with co-star Nish Kumar. In this episode, he talks openly to Annie about being an obsessive child and his journey to comedy, how he dealt with his wife's labour, becoming a parent (of course), how he has changed since starting Parenting Hell and his very recent decision to go sober.

Dustin joins Amanda to discuss something near and dear (or at least super nostalgic): infomercials.  How did they become a billion dollar business in the late 80s? And when/where did they begin?  We discuss all of that (and more) in this episode.Watch:The First Informercial (Vitamix)Ronco Electric Food DehydratorThe Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown SeriesPure MoodsRead:"The Stepford Channel," Rick Marin, The New York Times.The first audio essay series of 2023!!We're going to be talking about our relationship with shopping!As we began to talk about at the end of last year, we are practically trained to be consumers from birth.  From sticker collections to toys to the commercials on the Saturday morning cartoons, we have been told that new stuff = a better life. More happiness. Popularity…and even in the case of the “romance industrial complex,” it means love and appreciation.  Shopping is a social activity, the subject of copious amounts of magazine articles, blogs posts, and social media content.  For some families shopping is the only way they can spend time together and get along!Here are some ideas of things you can cover in your audio essay: How did shopping fit into your childhood? Was it a part of your relationship with a family member? Did it change over time? Do you find yourself engaging in so-called “ retail therapy?”  Does it help? Have you found something that helps more? Are you addicted to bargains and deals? Have you found a non-shopping way to scratch that itch? Does shopping make you happy? Sad? Angry? Why? Are there any specific shopping memories that have shaped how you approach clothing as an adult? Or maybe you have your own theme you would like to cover! That's fine, too! Write out what you want to say before you record it. Try to fit it into 5 minutes or less.If you want your contact info (name, instagram handle, business) to be included in the episode, please tell us in the recording. If you want to be anonymous, that's fine, too!It's okay if you make a mistake while recording, just say that part again and keep going.
