Many experienced interviewers could take a leaf from Jamie's book. He is kind, funny and respectful. You relate with your own experiences and tap into the person you are interviewing with great maturity. Jo Brand is a wealth of knowledge with an enduring personality that is so honest but she doesn't take fools gladly. Well done xxx

Massive respect for Jo. A lovely, sharp, funny and ethical person. All round good'un.

Jo is so wise .. people dont understand the nuance /spectrum of mental health.. there are aspects of it that are not discussed and remain stigmatised . Jamie is a brilliant interviewer. I wish he'd had more support as a kid ..

What a fantastic interview. Jo really so likeable and her humanity is hugely refreshing. Jamie, your interning technique is perfect. Respectful, engaged and you let people be heard and you respond to them genuinely and with interest. Winner!

What a great interview, Jamie's energy is infectious and Jo was very interesting - I could spend hours with her and there's not many I could say that about! I'd love to see a documentary on her explanations of mental health and how it can be misunderstood, something I have been thinking for a long time.

Shes really bang on. I have been homeless and lived in an emergency shelter with alcoohlics and drug addicts when i was mentally unstable at the time. I learnt alot from it. People who judge the homekess dont understand how people get to that place and not only that but also that they themselves could easily end up in the same situation. Its all about mental health. Addiction is just a coping mechanism for mental unhealth no matter the illness or level of illness. I am shocked that Jo mentioned there used to be a psychoatric emergency service. I feel that now in many cases it is lacking. Walking into a&e you feel nervous and worried about what kind of treatment you will get. I have had both good but also very poor experiences deoending on the nurses on shift. I stopped going because it didnt help me. They only want yo tick a box asking you the questions they need to so they can go back gome again. If you dont have an avtial plan to kill yourself they wont do anything to help you. Theres no middle service that orevents the crisis. Its only an emergency crisis service of wanting to end your life. But many need guidance and coping skills and someone to talk to. It needs to be there to prevent crisis point. Anyway i would have loved to have jo as a nurse. It would have made such a difference.

How are you doing? The way some view being homeless is pure ignorance and lack of compassion. A lot of us are a pay check away from being homeless so we need to stay humble! I had a mental breakdown last year after a string of events one after the other and have been piecing my life back together since. Nobody is exempt from mental illness! I sincerely hope you get the help you need, mental health issues are tough, the stigma doesn’t help either.

Oh my word!! Just literally came across this. I'll be honest, I listened to it because i think Jo is great, but now im blown away with how brilliant Jamie is, too. He is open, listens, emphasises really well and is open and honest, and can relate to others' situations because he's experienced similar himself. Im so impressed with him. TV can be so projecting of someone, but it's lovely to see him as he is. Brilliant series. Thanks, Jamie.

Being a whistle-blower is hated...and puts you out of a job. Respect...don't change.

A really enjoyable interview Jamie and Jo. Interesting comments about how attitudes to, and the treatment of, mental illness has changed over the past few decades. My Mum had a ‘breakdown’ in the early 1960s when I was 7. Had never really heard of antidepressants before that; our elderly GP at first prescribed a ‘tonic’. It was only when she had a crisis (I remember it so clearly over 60 years later - I thought they were going to take her away and lock her up, even though she was not remotely violent, just very unhappy) that our other GP attended her, prescribed anti-depressants and she became much better fairly quickly. I would love to have Jo as a dinner guest. Her honesty is so refreshing.

My gosh, this is genuinely brilliant and refreshing. Jo is a fascinating and funny human, and Jaime is an absolute revelation here. Looking forward to his other interview chats in Great Company.

I absolutely loved this , Jamie you're really good at this 🎉 don't change the formula, you are getting the best out of your guests 👌👌

I absolutely loved that. Never seen this guy before other than knowing he was/is on a reality TV show but he seems a really lovely fella and a good interviewer. I could listen to Jo Brand in that mode all day. I work in MH in SE London myself so it was very interesting to hear her talk about her time in the industry. In actual fact, in my previous career, Jo did one of the corporate gigs she mentioned in the interview when I was working in events at one of London’s big 5 stars on Park Lane. As she left I was standing outside smoking and sort of stared at her as she walked by so she pulled a prolonged funny face and it cracked me up! Hilarious and I’ve never forgotten it.

This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to. Jo is incredibly interesting and she has such a warm, friendly personality.

Jamie Thank You! What a beautiful interview, God Jo Brand is such an amazing Human!

Brilliant interview Jamie - Jo is so natural..... Great to get an insight into her life... She turned her real life situations into comedy....

Loved Jo and her comedy since the 80's. Great lady! This was a good interview too with well thought out questions 💚

Jo Brand is beyond fabulous!

Jo was honest in saying that she would rather be drunk than sober if she was living on the street. It is a frightening experience. If only she were in charge of mental health services we'd all be better off.

What a fab interview between 2 lovely, thoughtful people. Thank you both for your time & honesty. 💕👏 Big take away was the rattling of a stick in a swill bucket. Given how lucrative adverts are the fact that Jo Brand has never done any & doesn’t even seem to have been tempted makes me love & respect her even more.

Smart convo. Jamie's got a great way of making an interview deep & funny whilst keeping it respectful

What a lovely woman. Adored since the 80s and she has such a warmth abput her.❤😊

Fascinating to hear Jo speak on her experiences

I found this really refreshing and helpful. Thank-you both Jo and Jamie. ❤

Loving Jamie on his own!! No vulgarity!!

This was fabulous! Such an insight into a great lady! Thank you so much!

This interview was brilliant. It was insightful, the dynamic was energetic and it felt like watching a genuine conversation. I’ll be watching the others you’ve done to catch up on!

Fantastic interview. I could listen to Jo talk for hours so informative and her compassion for others is truly wonderful. Jamie, you’ve don’t a great job on this podcast. I love the simplicity of it ❤

Loved this, so wholesome ❤ Such a remarkable lady, one of my all time favourite comedians! (and of course, adore you so much Jamie! Just the sweetest, loveliest man. You’ve a true talent for interviewing in a way which allows your interviewee to really speak openly and “be heard”. Just brilliant) xx

I’ve just discovered your channel. Great interviews❤ I love and adore Jo, she’s a gorgeous human being ❤ Firstly, Her humour is right up my street, (she always makes me laugh)”secondly she is incredibly empathetic, which is why she went into nursing. When I saw Jo on “Count down” I got how intelligent she is. I realised that to be comedian you have to be highly intelligent with an amazing memory. You know that question, “if you could have any one you wanted at a Dinner Party, who would you choose?” I would want Jo and Trevor McDonald.

what a brilliant interview, love Jo Brand 🙏. This really resonates, my dad was an inpatient in our local psychiatric hospital, which was right at the end of the old hospital system before they were all closed, around mid 90s ish. We used to visit often and it was in a wonderful location in the countryside, we used to take our dog and walk round the grounds, my dad would come and sometimes so would some of the other patients he had made friends with. My brother and I used to roam around the empty wards and corridors, it was huge and had been in the process of slowly closing down wards etc for quite a few years. It's so true what Jo describes, patients were just everyday people - we used to hang out in the visitors room and chat with many of them, also in the cafe. Many patients could come and go, I remember my mum giving a couple of them a lift into town on our way home or pick one up on the way their as it was quite a long walk if they had missed the bus! I even remember saying to my mum, theres nothing much wrong with these people - and she said what did you expect, it's just people going through a bit of a tough time at the moment. She is so right, mental illness is so nuanced - it irks me when people say 'oh I'm so OCD'. It had an impact on me as I started a career in mental health, yes people who are very unwell ie experiencing a psychotic episode or in the middle of a manic episode are a world away from the everyday stress most people experience. But these things are episodic, most people can and do recover and live fulfilling lives. I also agree that there is not one size fits all solution, what people need is time, support and kindness - i have seen and also have personal experience of the benefits of psychiatric drugs particularly antidepressants. We don't know how they work and they don't work for everyone but for many, like me they can be incredibly effective - and then you can participate in therapy and all the other things that get you back into life and keep you well. I don't know why the media is obsessed with painting ADs as terrible, all drugs have side effects - i recently was put on blood pressure medication, the first one made me feel awful, the second one didn't work and the third one works very well - you don't see or hear sensational stories about these drugs though.

Just discovered Jamie ..he is such a natural and great with Jo ..she is just Great ,my kind of dream friend .

Absolutely! It annoys me to hear people use the phrase "suffering from mental health issues". Why has that become an alternate for "mental illness"? It's as though people should be ashamed of having an "illness", and it's somehow viewed as more compassionate to say they have "mental health issues". Utter nonsense!

Finally? Do you live under a rock? People have been saying this forever... It's quite annoying how people like to pretend they have the "secret truth" that no-one else understands when it's something so mundane! Very, very few people would ever say something like "anything referred to as mental health is severe and must be pandered to" (where I assume you're going with this?). I don't know you so won't comment on you personally, but this is a very big right wing trope at the moment - pretending something wacky is happening so they can fight against it when in reality, it's just a tiny subset that has no actual influence on anything.

​@@carolmurphy7572Perhaps you need to look at your own prejudice here? As someone who regularly works with people who have acute mental health issues, the difference between "mental illness" and "mental health issues" is nonexistent and, genuinely, isn't something I've even ever noticed. I see no logical reason why someone using one of those phrases over the other would bother anyone, let alone enough for them to rant about it.

I LOVE Jo Brand i went into labour watching her do stand up because i was laughing so much. You can keep your raspberry leaf tea and bouncing ball give me Jo Brand. Whod have thought id enjoy Jamies podcast but i really did, he should never jave done MIC hes rich but didnt he start Candy Kittens which do the best strawberry sweets? When he said he was trying to make "it relatable" when he was talking about his sisters pony so hes pretty self aware. My mums friend had really bad ppd and tried to unalive herself when i was 3 and my mum took me to a hospital just like Jo described and shed leave me in the car (it was '81) and one day all the patients were at the window waving so she went to look and id openedd the sunroof, climbed up and was sitting on the roof of the car singing and waving at the patients and i had no fear.

Not something I would usually listen to but really enjoyed it. What a clever, insightful lady.
