Podcast Overview

Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do. Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser. We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t.
 Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.

Ripple Effects: How an accident at sea helped diagnose Will Edge's brain tumour

<p><strong>The latest episode of Talking Cod features our good friend Will Edge, a trustee and facilitator at Mentell, a men's mental health charity.<br></strong><br>We'd originally asked Will to come on to tell us about the charity's work and how he'd first come across the organisation, but then things went strangely quiet. </p><p>It turns out he'd had a scary accident whilst Wakeboarding in North Wales with his daughter, only to find out after an MRI scan that he'd got a tumour the size of a peach growing on his brain. </p><p>It's an incredible story. Had the accident not happened, the tumour might not have been diagnosed for another six years. And had Will not connected with Mentell in the years before the accident, he wouldn't have had the mental preparedness to deal with the trauma.</p><p>To find out more about Mentell, head over to their website at <a href="https://www.mentell.org.uk/">https://www.mentell.org.uk/</a>, find them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mentellcharity">Facebook</a>, follow them on Instagram (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mentellcharity/">mentellcharity</a>)</p><p>As always, if you like what you hear, give us a like, share, and a follow.
