Podcasting About Mental Health

A Guide to Podcasting About Mental Health

Podcasting can be a powerful tool for talking about mental health. Hearing someone’s voice as they tell their story can help bring the words to life, and can show listeners that they are not alone.

We worked with our male student volunteers to create Changing Mentality, a student-led mental health podcast hosted by men across the country on men’s mental health.

We have learnt a lot from this process and want to help you to run your own podcast on mental health. Explore our tips on:

Practically getting set up
Planning and managing production
Running a podcast
Facilitation skills
How to look after yourself at the same time
