How community saved me (and why it's good for your health)

This episode explains why I set up this podcast about my wee village in the Scottish Highlands, Kincraig, and why I'm going to be interviewing various community characters in forthcoming episodes.

It tells the story of how my neighbours helped, and continue to help, me through a really, really tricky time. It does this with honesty and a desire to break down stigmas around taboo topics like mental health, relationship breakdowns and loneliness.

It covers why community is so important and health-enhancing in this digital age we live in, where more people die in selfie-related deaths than shark attacks...

Yet, I don't think we celebrate the kind of love and care you find in a community nearly as much as we should, with such a focus on finding romantic love; this podcast aims to address that lack.
