The Quiet Mark Podcast

• Publisher: Quiet Mark
• Total Episodes: 24

Welcome to The Quiet Mark Podcast. Simon Gosling, CMO at Quiet Mark – the independent, international approval award programme associated with the UK Noise Abatement Society – explores our relationship with sound in a series of conversations with experts who’ve spent their lives working with acoustics. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises environmental noise as the 2nd largest environmental health risk in Western Europe behind air quality. The Mayor of London’s Environment Strategy warns that noise can contribute towards a range of physical and mental health problems, disturb sleep and affect people’s hearing, communication and learning. And, in our smart-phone era, noise isn’t only about the big sounds of planes, traffic and construction sites. Smaller sounds like someone FaceTiming on the bus or playing music loudly through their tinny headphones can cause stress, annoyance and impact on our mental health.

The Paul McGregor Podcast

• Publisher: Paul McGregor
• Total Episodes: 44

On the 4th March 2009, my life changed forever. My Dad, the man I looked up too, the man who in my eyes had ‘everything’ on paper took his own life. After it happened I struggled to deal with the grief, I buried the pain and found myself asking the question ‘why’ over and over again. I too then found myself struggling with depression and anxiety. This Podcast is all about documenting not only my own personal journey to discovering more about mental health and suicide, but to also document other stories too. It’s time to talk about mental health, it’s time to give it the voice it deserves and hopefully this Podcast can provide that. Hopefully this Podcast helps show others that they’re not alone…Paul McGregor is an author, lecturer, a mental health advocate, husband, Father of 2 and avid Liverpool supporter. He shares daily content, giving mental health a voice across multiple social platforms and through speaking and workshops across the UK.
