Once Infected. Twice Rejected ... and Six Years On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul's back ... Fringe show done, baws deep in awards ... and it's been a hellofa week. Two rejections (Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival, Independent Podcast Awards) landed in the same 72 hours as some genuinely good news elsewhere. It's also six years since Lee was told I had six months to live. Oh, and Lee's ended up back in A&E with a nasty infection from the cannula site, weeks after the hospital stay. We talk about all of it: rejection, invisible illness, pacing yourself when fatigue ha
4 Nights in the NHS: Pain, Panic & a Bit of Cake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week it's just me. No guest, no Paul ... just an honest one, on my own, about the week I've had. I ended up spending four nights in hospital. This isn't a dig at the NHS. They've saved my life more than once, and I genuinely wouldn't be here without them. But there's stuff I went through that I think is worth talking about honestly: what it's actually like being stuck in the system for a few days, the bits that work and the bits that are visibly creaking, and where your head goes at 3am wit
Prince Stash Pt.2: Syd Barrett, Leary & Why Your Phone Is Lying to You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part two of Lee and Paul's conversation with Prince Stash de Rola. This time it gets deeper: witnessing Syd Barrett's psychedelic breakdown in the Black Mountains, meeting Timothy Leary as a fugitive in Switzerland, decades of psychedelic and spiritual practice — and a sharp take on why social media and phone addiction are quietly wrecking people's mental health and attention spans today. Mind Cake is a comedy wellbeing podcast — not self-help, just slightly more helpful than doing nothing. Hone
Prince Stash Pt.1: Beatles, Bowie & a 1300-Year-Old Castle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week ... Prince Stash de Rola. Friend of the Rolling Stones, housemate of Paul McCartney, model, musician, and current resident of a 1,300-year-old Italian castle, joins Lee on Mind Cake for the first of a two-part conversation. From surviving Vince Taylor's public breakdown to being arrested alongside the Stones and taken in by the Beatles, Stash shares stories from the heart of 60s rock stardom most people have never heard first-hand. Mind Cake is a comedy wellbeing podcast . Not self-hel
What's Your Battery At? Men's Mental Health & Suicide Prevention with Martin Melly (Men Matter Scotland) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Lee heads to Drumchapel to meet Martin Melly from Men Matter Scotland ... and gets asked to rate his mental health battery before he's even sat down. Martin explains how a simple check-in question has become the backbone of a talking group that started as a dads' group in 2019 and has since grown into hubs in Glasgow and Cumbernauld. They get into why social media comparison culture makes everyone feel like they're the only one struggling, why "no advice, just listen" works better than
