Flatpacks, Feelings, and First Days in the New Studio

from Back & Forth: A Men's Mental Health Podcast

This week on Back & Forth, Dan and Vish kick things off with their first recording in the new studio before settling into a reflective, wide-ranging conversation. They chat about keeping busy with DIY projects and flat packs as a way of distracting from things outside your control, including illness — with Vish sharing his now very familiar routine of multiple trips to Wickes in search of various items that he kept forgetting.The pair reflect on last week’s episode and how people process and talk about their issues differently. Dan shares why he prefers to rip the plaster off and have honest, deep conversations rather than skirting around difficult topics, while Vish offers his own perspective on working through things.Towards the end, Dan also talks briefly about the Coventry Half Marathon — no longer able to run it himself, he celebrates the amazing group of people taking part in April on behalf of the Back & Forth Charity. The episode wraps up with the return of their classic Love Plums and Love Spuds segment, rounding off an honest, thoughtful, and lightly chaotic catch-up.—If you'd like to get involved with the podcast or want to share what's annoyed you this week, you can email [email protected] to get involved.
