New year, new series. My first guest on The Reset POD FOR 2026 is Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods. Known for his furious, funny and brutally honest lyrics about post-austerity Britain, masculinity, class, love and more, Jason has helped build one of the most passionate fanbases in British music over the past decade. We met at his label’s London offices just before Christmas for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation covering everything from Andrew Tate to Amazon shopping, family estrangement and getting sober. The sound’s a little raw in places (sorry about that), but Jason is thoughtful, open and completely compelling. I loved the chat — I hope you enjoy it too.

Josh Connolly had a chaotic childhood. By the time he hit his twenties, he was contemplating suicide. Now, he is one of the country’s most influential voices on mental health, using his own experiences to help others. I chatted with him about why men struggle to share emotions, growing up around alcohol and how he wants to de-stigmatise conversations about suicide.

Elliot Sweeney has been a psychiatric nurse for over two decades. Now he has written a book about his experiences: ‘We Don't Use Words Like Crazy - A Life On The Frontline Of Mental Health.’ His moving, and often funny, memoir pulls back the curtain on what the job’s really like, showing why we need more compassion for people who are struggling and the professionals who try to help them every day.

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Sparing a few quid for CALM helps them fund their essential service to help bring that rate down.
