On Wednesday December 19th at 10:40pm, Matt Pritchard's new documentary film Wild Man to Ironman aired on BBC Wales. Seeing as how Pritch is an old friend of Life In The Stocks, and his original episode is still the highest ranking episode in the podcast's history, it seemed only right that we got him back on the show to talk about his documentary and his brand new vegan cookbook & cooking show.

Today is World Mental Health Day, which seems like the perfect time to share the Live Q&A that I did with Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach in Birmingham back in August. Jesse is a true spokesman for mental health issues and I relished the opportunity to expand on the podcast we did together (Jesse was a guest back on Episode 005 of Life In The Stocks) in front of a live audience and do our bit to help spread the dialogue around mental health. He's someone I deeply admire and respect, and I hope anyone who suffers from mental health issues will get something positive and helpful from our conversation together. Stay strong and spread the love. You are not alone. Matt x Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lifeinthestocks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
