Technical Healing

Professor Hugh Brady is the Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Bristol. Will & Charlotte felt honoured to chat to Hugh and were fascinated by the story of his incredible career, having triplet boys, his scope and focus on driving the University forward, the relationship between the university and the city of Bristol, and the importance of mental health and well-being.
Professor Hugh Brady is an inspirational personality and the focus towards mental health that he outlines is very refreshing, honest and reassuring. 

Allison McRitchie is a member of the staff development team at the University of Bristol. A wonderfully positive personality. Allison's approach to mental health and well-being is fascinating and listeners will definitely take some positive techniques from the episode. 

Leanne Matthews delivers an important message about the need to be positive about sex, the lack of quality in sex education in schools, and much much more. It was an eye opening talk from a confident and intellectual guest.

Here's how Leanne describes who she is and what she does...
"I am passionate about inclusive and honest Sex Education that doesn't just focus on the biology of how babies are made and preventing unwanted pregnancy or STIs. I believe that Sex Ed should represent people of all body types, sexualities and genders as well as being mindful of culturally and religious differences and attitudes.

The Sex Ed (or lack of) that we receive as young people can shape the way we feel about ourselves and influence all future relationships, not just in a romantic sense.

Sex Ed should be honest about why many people have sex (it's not just to keep the species alive!) and give young people the tools to make informed choices that are right for them so they can go on to have fulfilling sex lives in the future. This includes having a clear understanding on what consent means, how to communicate their wants and needs to a partner and how to love themselves first and foremost.

Most of all, Sex Ed should be shame free as shame (whether that is sexual shame, body shame or emotional shame) is something that we can carry with us forever."

Sam Kammerling is a bundle of positive energy. Sam chats to Charlie and Will about his fantastic career working for, the mental health charity, LikeWise. 
Sam also speaks openly and honestly about his own experiences with mental health. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and offer great information and advice that will benefit many listeners. 
Sam’s upbeat personality, and great sense of humour, makes this episode both informative and entertaining. Just what we like. 

Charlie Revelle-Smith is a marvellous character and the man behind the incredibly popular Weird Bristol. Charlie speaks about his life before Weird Bristol, what Weird Bristol is and how it started, his own personal experiences with depression, anxiety and panic attacks, advice and tips to listeners that are struggling with their mental health, his favourite places in Bristol, and throughout the episode Charlie reveals his top 4 favourite weird historical facts about Bristol.
Charlie is open, honest and an absolutely lovely person. Having followed Weird Bristol on social media for years, Will and Charlie were captivated by Charlie's stories and are honoured to feature a Weird Bristol episode of Technical Healing.
