We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

The pressure of perpetual creativity.
If you're a football fan, you'll know a David Squires cartoon when you see one. Over the past decade, David's humorous drawings have become an integral part of football discourse, and an important way for fans to understand and connect with everything that's funny about the world of football.
But with that great success, has inevitably come pressure. David talks us through the process he has for drawing his cartoons, the worries and the doubts he has about every stroke of the pencil.
In today's episode, we get a an intimate look of the natural human emotions that come from being required to repeatedly provide humour and creativity.
