Edinburgh Award nominee Jordan Brookes sits down with Susan to discuss depression, pure OCD and teen angst in the first episode of Susan Calman's brand new podcast. Over the series Susan will chat with comedians about what's going on in their own heads. They'll discuss how they navigate the world of tricksy mental health but manage to keep a smile on their face. Pushing back against the cliche of the Sad Clown, Susan Calman's Mrs. Brightside is an uplifting and positive view of living with depression and mental health problems from the point of view of funny people.

Brilliant and so supportive. More please! It must be hard putting yourself out there, because people can see you as their new best friend and mental health mentor! I know Susan can't be that, but her podcasts make me feel less isolated and every one has helped and encouraged me.
