Goodbye Blackdog.. Hello Fellowman! A quick note on why it was time to change the name of the podcast...

You’re most likely listening to this as you’d previously subscribed to what was The Blackdog Cast, so I wanted to take a few minutes to explain why I’ve decided to change the name and focus of the podcast.

When I started the podcast, Blackdog was a project that was born out of mine and one of my best friends struggles with depression and Bipolar. The name itself refers to what Winston Churchill used to call his own very serious bouts of depression.

Since then, I’ve learned alot about my own mental health, talked to a lot of people, some of whom have been featured on previous episodes of the podcast, and while my own mental health issues are certainly not fixed, they are a lot better.

So it feels like a good moment to put the Blackdog to rest and focus on a more positive outlook going forward and also a slightly wider context looking at both mental, physical and spiritual health for men. 

That’s where Fellowman comes in; a curated source of knowledge, inspiration and storytelling for men looking to improve their mental, physical and spiritual health. Throughout my own journey, I’ve learned alot about my own health and wellness, mostly from some of the many people I’ve met along the way who are far more knowledgeable than I am on these matters.

So, stay tuned over the coming months for some great episodes with coaches, experts, entrepreneurs, scientists who have all got stories or knowledge that can help our Fellowman.
