Episode 3: Paul Beeson

In this episode, I chat with Paul Beeson, a Scottish stage and screen actor known for his work in "The Crown" and his co-creation of theatre shows "A War of Two Halves" and "Sweet FA." We discuss creativity, mental health, and the unexpected links between football and theatre. Paul shares his personal experiences with depression and the impact of positive encouragement and collaboration. Paul co-hosts the "Mind Cake" podcast with Lee Crompton, which explores mental health in a light-hearted manner (and often involves cake!).   Below are links to some of the things that we discussed: Mind Cake podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/135hjmyv6RxmUAide5MEIX?si=86e608c380ed4576  Two Halves Productions: www.instagram.com/twohalvesprod/  War of Two Halves & Sweet FA Edinburgh Theatre Review: www.alledinburghtheatre.com/a-war-of-two-halves-sweet-fa-at-tynecastle-park-november-2024/ Hearts Midlothian Football Club: www.heartsfc.co.uk/ Edinburgh Science Festival (where our paths first crossed!): www.edinburghscience.co.uk/ Also, for any non-UK folks: What the heck is a Panto? www.youtube.com/shorts/QWHefK65dNs  Rose’s website: www.rosecondo.net  Rose’s website artwork is by Niamh Wood: www.etsy.com/shop/LittleBadgerArts  Have A Kind Word With Yourself podcast music was composed and recorded by Eleonora Rosca: www.instagram.com/eleonorarosca
