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.49 - Acts of Kindness: How it impacts people, communities and our brains | Robin Banerjee
What better way to kick off a new season than by talking about kindness, with Prof. Robin Banerjee. What does it mean to be kind and is it really that important? What impacts does it have on people and communities, and can being kind sometimes be a disadvantage?
Robin is a psychology professor at the University of Sussex, home to the Sussex Centre for Research on Kindness. He led the world’s largest ever project on kindness: The Kindness Test, in partnership with the BBC.
You can also join Gwen and Kate as they put into practice Robin's kindness challenge – and find it's not as easy as it sounds.
