Description
Following a recent episode of mental health struggles, Fran (a former mental health worker and a current amateur music critic), once again reflected on how important music is when it comes to keeping his head as level as it can be.
The Mental Notes Podcast sees him talking to musicians he admires, and who have been somehow roped into talking to him, about the intersections of music and mental health. Expect open conversations about song writing, coping mechanisms, the helpful and unhelpful sides of the music industry, and how to navigate life.
