Show Notes

I wanted to record this emergency podcast before R U OK Day, which is today, with my thoughts around it and a perspective from someone who has lived with someone who has had a serious mental illness for many years. I also talk about a very gutsy marketing ploy by a company called Pilot in response to R U OK Day, which is controversial and true!
