Episode 9. ANDYSMANCLUB #IT'S OKAY TO TALK

The whole idea behind The Weld Like Bazza Podcast was to keep Dad involved and in conversations even after he passed. Almost a year on from his passing, Its time to try and reach out and help even more than ever before. After a year struggling with my loss, its time to open up, and I couldn't think of a better way to do it that to include all of you. Did you know In the uk we lose 5000 every year to suicide? If this show reaches just 1 man who contacts Andys Man Club then its 1 man more we have helped. Tissues at the ready as we go deep with the truly amazing Andy Bampton. www.andysmanclub.co.uk www.weldlikebazza.co.uk www.mswelding.co.uk
