Right Up My Podcast
Right Up My Podcast is the podcast for those looking to explore different methods of self-care, self-love and ways to make you feel good.
Hosted by voice artist and presenter Gwen Watson and journalist and producer Kate White, Right Up My Podcast came from a mutual drive to find new ways to improve our own mental health.
Each episode we chat to a different expert about their feel-good forte, and then try it out for ourselves to see if it works... or if it doesn't.
It's frank, funny and honest, with the odd bit of over-sharing. So join us on Right Up My Podcast, because you deserve to feel good too!
Released fortnightly. Contains bad language and inappropriate laughter.

Right Up My Podcast
Ep.39 - Connecting People: The importance of having people and purpose in our lives | Maff Potts
We talk to Maff Potts about the importance of having people and purpose in our lives. Maff is the founder of Camerados, a charity that helps people support each other through tough times. One of the main ways they do this is by setting up Public Living Rooms – places to go to when you need to connect to or just be around other humans, with no agenda, no mission and no fixing.
Before setting up Camerados, Maff spent 20 years working in the homelessness sector, where he ran the largest homeless services in the country for The Salvation Army, as well as being CEO of the award-winning organisation 'People Can', which worked with homelessness, criminal justice, domestic violence and addiction services. Maff ran the Government's programme to modernise homeless centres and even set up a shelter one Christmas in the Millennium Dome, for the charity Crisis!
