Tom Radford left a career in corporate communications, got a campervan, and started eating things he found in hedgerows. Now he takes people on walks through the British countryside and teaches them what's food, what's medicine and what might kill you. It turns out foraging isn't really about food at all, it's one of the most honest mental health conversations we've had on Mind Cake, and nobody mentions therapy once. Tom is the founder of Eat The Country and one of the most quietly compelling arguments for getting outside, slowing down and looking down occasionally. If you're looking for a self-help alternative that doesn't feel like self-help, this is it.

Mind Cake is a comedy wellbeing podcast exploring mental health, resilience and the stuff that actually helps, without the therapy speak.

What happens when a city famous for booing its own players decides to cheer instead? Jon McCann is a Philadelphia Phillies superfan, YouTuber and the man behind one of sport's most remarkable stories ... a social media post that turned a struggling baseball player's season around and became a Netflix documentary. But behind the viral moment is a deeper story: a breakdown, a mental institution, and the unconditional love of two parents who refused to give up on him. Jon talks to Lee about empathy, survival, therapy, and why the crack in the Liberty Bell is actually a repair. As seen on Netflix.

In 2020, Mr Omar Hilmi sat across from Lee in a Glasgow hospital and told him he had six months to live. Five years later, they sat down for a cup of tea and talked about it.

This is one of the most honest mental health conversations we've had on Mind Cake, and it isn't really about cancer. It's about honesty, hope, how doctors carry impossible conversations home with them, and what David Gemmell's Legend has to do with surviving a terminal diagnosis. Oh, and how Mr Hilmi ended up singing at Darth Vader's funeral.
