ISSUE 170 – Mental Con ‘23

Jake McManus and Nathan Brabon (yes, again!) join Ian this week to continue the conversation started on the ‘Marvel Jerks’ podcast about mental health in the hobby. We talk about the pressures of groups like MCCW, how people react and interact on social media, and what they do to escape from it all. Some deep waters lie within before they announce Mental Con ’23, coming 23/24 June 2023 – a 24 hour live YouTube stream in aid of charities that support wellbeing and mental health. Plus, Ian opens a huge mail call, which is rather… exquisite.
