Description
My Stammer wont stop me talking about the real issues in life, the price of freddos. Topic Tennis is a laid-back, relaxed panel show based around discussion. Join me, your host Jack Dempsey and, my Resident Panelist Callum Schofield as we explore and discuss the most fascinating aspects of the world around us ranging from Area 51 and aliens to whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. As we bounce back and fourth with ideas we want to also normalise our stammering and hopefully encourage others to speak out too!

Dr Skip Mondragon is an Army Veteran, physician and author who became a casualty of depression back in 2014. He later wrote the book "wrestling depression is not for wimps" in which he shared his story to show, particularly to men, that expressing your emotions and accepting that we need help does not make you weak or any less of a man but that being able to accept your emotions and appear vulnerable is perhaps one of bravest things a person can do. 👌 Join us as Skip tells his inspiring tale of how he battled depression and as we discuss how, as a society, we can make ourselves more better equipped to deal with depression .
Topic Tennis’ first ever Valentines Day Special. Join us as myself, Callum and Harry discuss everyones favourite annual embarrassment and some failed dates. Enjoy!
Whats done is done. Or is it? Join myself, Callum, and Harry for quite possibly the most unintelligent discussion about Time Travel you will ever listen to, as we attempt to explain the theories behind time travel and where we would go if it were possible. Enjoy! -This episode was “inspired” by a video called ‘Unlimited Rice Pudding’ by a youtube channel called Exurb1a, it’s definitely worth a watch as is the channel. https://youtu.be/wPODghAr3Vc
More waffle, more pointless discussions and more horrendous jokes by Callum 😂In this episode myself, Callum and Harry discussed the idea that Monkeys are entering their very own Stone Age🐒 and whether or not they may eventually catch us up! Enjoy!
Callum, Myself and, a new comer to the show, Harry, joined to discuss everything related to AI. A pretty terrifying topic to say the least, we discussed the ridiculous possibilities and some of the more serious, destructive, apocalyptic ones too. Enjoy!
Myself and Callum joined to discuss an after thought from the last episode, meaning and purpose. Tune in to hear our thoughts on what meaning really means and how one can create their own sense of meaning about themselves and the world around them. Enjoy!
Myself, Callum, and Keith Gore all definitely learnt something from this Episode and hopefully you will too. This Episode was about Anxiety and CBT and our own experiences with self-doubt, Anxiety, and Therapy. It was a brilliant and informative discussion which i hope will shed light on such a huge mental health issue and, in my opinion, one of the best ways to treat it. Enjoy!
Barry Rix joined myself and Callum to discuss how public speaking can help your confidence grow and flurish. We talked about Barry’s experience as a member of toastmasters and our own experiences challenging ourselves by speaking publicly. Enjoy!
In this Episode I was joined by Callum Schofield and Faizan Sheikh as we discussed how to have a productive and positive mindset and also discussed Callum’s torturous morning routine. Sit back and enjoy!
For this episode myself and Callum were joined by Dan Gibson to discuss the existence of aliens. It was a great discussion filled with interesting ideas and some awful jokes thrown in by Callum. Enjoy!
Episode 1 of Topic Tennis is focused on the normalisation of stammering. Myself and Callum Schofield were joined by Ayo D Adesanya, one of the co-founders of the charity Stop Holding Back. Their work is focused on helping those who stammer gain the confidence they need to live the life they deserve. We had a brilliant discussion about how stammering can be more normalised. Enjoy!
