Spellboundish
Spellboundish is a quirky, gentle podcast about mental health. exploring stigma, the so-called taboo subjects, and the stuff we don’t always find easy to talk about.
Part mental-health podcast, part audio magazine, each episode brings a mix of thoughtful musings, poetry, stories, relaxing music, cookery, and the occasional trip Back to Beyond.
You’ll find regular features including Mog’s Musings, Poetic Licence, The Chill Out Zone, and the ever-reliable So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. Plus occasional surprises inspired by listener and podcast host ideas.
Most importantly, Spellboundish aims to be a calm, welcoming and safe little corner of the world. Somewhere to tune in, switch off, have a think, and hopefully feel a little less alone.
Come for the curiosity. Stay for the quirkiness.

Evolving podcast concerning mental health.
(Sorry about the audio, but it's a benchmark for improvement)
And, as I've upgraded these early episodes to mp3 format, the download counter has reset, I do have listeners 😉
Also, stick with the episodes, it gets better I promise 😂
