    • EP77. Iain Anderson. From Homelessness, Addiction & Suicide Survival to Traumedy.

      EP77. Iain Anderson. From Homelessness, Addiction & Suicide Survival to Traumedy.
      Jan 20 2026
      In this powerful episode of The Hurt Locker, we sit down with comedian and storyteller, Iain Anderson, for one of the most raw and honest conversations we've ever had on the podcast. Iain opens up about his lived experience of homelessness, addiction, and severe mental health struggles, including surviving suicide. With warmth and vulnerability, he walks us through the darkest chapters of his life — sleeping rough, battling addiction, and feeling completely disconnected from hope. But this is also a story of survival, recovery, and transformation. Through finding purpose, rebuilding himself, and discovering comedy as both an outlet and a lifeline, Iain has gone on to become a rising star in the stand-up comedy scene. He now channels his experiences into his critically praised show TRAUMEDY, which is heading out on a new European tour. This episode is about:
      • The reality of homelessness and addiction
      • Mental health at breaking point
      • Surviving suicide and choosing to stay
      • How storytelling and comedy can heal
      • Turning pain into purpose
      Iain's story is confronting, inspiring, and deeply human — a reminder that no matter how far gone things feel, change is possible. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide, addiction, and mental health struggles.

      EP76. Building Community for Men's Mental Health | Mandem Meetup CEO Jamie Dennis.
      Jan 13 2026

      In this episode of The Hurt Locker Podcast, Yinka sits down with Jamie Dennis, CEO of Mandem Meetup — a grassroots UK charity dedicated to men's mental health, wellbeing, and community support.

      Mandem Meetup builds inclusive, judgment-free spaces where men can connect, talk, and support one another through weekly meetups and activities — from talking circles to hikes, football sessions, creative groups, peer support, practical advice, and more — all free to attend. Jamie shares:
      • The philosophy behind Mandem Meetup's "Come as you are — you're welcome here" ethos and why community matters so much.
      • How grassroots connection, group activities, and peer-led support help tackle stigma around men's mental health.
      • The charity's focus is on reducing isolation and building brotherhoods through real-world social connection and wellbeing interventions.
      • Challenges men face when it comes to asking for help and why groups like Mandem Meetup are a vital piece of the solution.
      • Practical advice for anyone supporting men through mental health struggles.
      Whether you're a man facing mental health pressures, someone who cares about the men in your life, or simply want to better understand how we can support each other, this conversation is a must-listen. And if you want to get involved with Mandem Meetup or support their work, check out their weekly sessions, WhatsApp groups and inclusive community spaces in Manchester and Wolverhampton.
