TRANSCRIPT HERE
Join Steph and the vibrant Jossie Williams as they dissect the indie Paul Dalio film Touched With Fire. Jossie takes us through her own journey of diagnosis, treatment and life with bipolar disorder and how it compares to the depiction in the movie. We also rag on Silver Linings Playbook a little, soz. Could this be the film that finally fully passes the Psychocinematic test? Does it have to be one that's almost impossible to find on streaming sites goddammit!?
Jossie Williams is a Psychology personal assistant, counselling student, mental health advocate, writer, and all round rad and highly fashionable babe. Follow her on instagram at @shehasafaceforradio.
