We've released a special episode tonight, coinciding (conveniently, but not deliberately) with World Mental Health Day, to promote The Changing Room initiative at Hibs.
Brian and I were joined by Neil Renton, who was a brilliant guest.
Less Hibs chat in this episode but we hope you'll tune in to a great discussion on men's mental health.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, it was cathartic for me to again speak about it and I hope we do many more on the subject.

I've only had time to listen to the first half hour but it is powerful stuff. You guys deserve a lot of credit for this.
Well done.

I’m about halfway through but just wanted to say Brian - that was “brilliant” so honest and powerful.

Cliched but if it helps and encourages just one person to open up then it’s worth it for me.
Matty was an absolutely fantastic host yesterday, really came into his own and was sensitive and inquisitive enough to make it a brilliant show. Neil as well was tremendous."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

Really powerful and interesting stuff.
As someone that’s been fortunate to have pretty good mental health (I think anyway, touch wood etc etc etc) it was a real eye opener to the struggles you’ve all been through.
The three of you should be really proud of yourselves, as should everyone that’s dealing with and winning whatever battles they are facing.
If anyone is interested in that topic, I stumbled across a really interesting podcast with Tony Adams the other week, think it’s with Simon Munday from BBC radio, I may have got his name and/or spelling wrong but hopefully you can find it from that.

Had a listen tonight as I waited for the family to come home, and thought it was a very powerful and enlightening listen.
As someone said above, I think I’ve been fortunate to have good mental health during my life, but there are definitely some elements of what was discussed that resonate with me. Definitely something for me to watch out for in the future.
If anyone has a spare hour or so we’ll worth a listen. Well done guys.

I just wanted to say thanks to the guys letting me in the podcast to talk about the Changing Room and mental health. And also thanks to people who have responded to it positively or as they talk about their own mental health. It takes a lot of guts to do so.
This was all off Marty’s one back as well to get someone form the Changing Room on. And Brian’s own account was from his heart and honest which made it all the more empowering.
I was quite nervous and I had a few points that I didn’t cover. What I’m hoping that I was able to put over is that groups of Hibs fans have spoken about mental health in social media before the changing Room and the thread in here on depression and anxiety has been going on since 2012. It shows that as a group of fans we’ve always looked out for each other and supported each other when times are hard. And for that we should be proud.
As mentioned I’m not employed by the club, I’m a volunteer. It it’s given me pride to see the club I support support men and their mental health.
We’ve got a drop in tomorrow, meeting at 6 at the west stand if anyone is interested. But if anyone is needing to talk then please just do so, either to a professional or to anyone else.
We’ve got this.
Neil

Some great points there - especially about how fans have looked out for each other.
We'll definitely record more episodes around this topic, and hopefully keep the conversation going.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Thanks Ross and Jim (and for the PM too, Ross). It's been nice to see people still finding the podcast a few days later and commenting on it. Means a lot to us.
