"Back then it was so... awkward."Our guest this week is an award-winning mental health campaigner, film producer, public speaker, writer and vlogger. Jonny Benjamin was the star of an iconic mental health campaign, #FindMike - to reconnect with the man who had talked him out of jumping from a bridge in London six years earlier. Kenneth and James kick things off with the trivial matter of people who have changed their lives before we get onto social media, the longer-terms effect of the pandemic and the impact of a difficult diagnosis. We talk religion, the importance of language and going viral globally. Jonny explains how the story is still ongoing. There's the power of youth, working for the next generation and, as ever, how collaboration is the answer - all done in time for an ice cream.---You can find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
