Before we kick off the episode, I think we should just give a little warning that this has a lot of talk about mental health, a lot of talk about suicide.

And if this is triggering for anyone, perhaps be warned, maybe don't listen to it.

Or if it is, we put loads of links in the description where you can go to to look for help. Say that before we start.

Hello everybody, welcome back to your Friday episode of Pride of Arts.

Yeah boy.

Yeah boy.

Yeah boy, Jeremy. I'm sitting here by myself that's talking to microphone. Sometimes it's hard to communicate and get across stuff.

We have an amazing podcast for you today. We have Tom Bosworth as our guest. Now Tom is an Olympian Walker.

It's a, he described it very well. You know, if you ever see those races where you see people like walking but half running, you know at school when you weren't allowed to run down the corridor.

So you have to walk, do that fast walk. He does that in combination. Well did do that.

He's won Commonwealth medals. He's been to the Olympics. He's holds three world records. He's an amazing guy and what he's done in his life is incredible.

He also chats about a pretty horrific experience in his life where he nearly took his own life.

So I want to put a trigger warning in there. This is affecting anyone. We're going to leave a description. A link in the description where you can head if you are triggered by anything in this episode.

It's an amazing episode. It's unbelievable. And Tom, I want to say thank you so much for sharing.

Okay, it's me today with Tom. It's going to be amazing. Oh, before we start, it's a big favor. So many of you right now listening to the why the hell you're not. You haven't clicked on the subscribe button on like Spotify and place like that. So just go. You can do it while you're walking down the street or on the bus.

Just go and click on that. It really, really, really helps us. And it also means we can get better guests and go and check out our TikTok, Instagram and YouTube page where you can see the full videos and fun clips.

Okay, enjoy the episode.

Tom was right.

So I should probably first ask how are you? Yeah, I'm pretty well. Thank you. It's a good way to start. It is. I've always been told I got I do radio show now.

And apparently the worst question you should ask a guest is how are you? Because if you ask a guest, how are you then they suddenly panic and they go, oh, I don't. I feel okay. I think I feel all right. I know one's ever honest with that question. Let's be honest.

Yes.

It's okay. I'm fine. Thank you very much. But really all the demons in here. I'm, it's awful. It's so true. I had.
