From speaking to opinionated callers on his radio show, to taking down Nigel Farage live on air, James O’Brien has dealt with his fair share of mad, sad and bad. Me and my Mum are also huge fans of his, so I was super excited to invite him over for a chat.In this episode, we delve deep into James’ early life; from being born to a young single mother and his subsequent adoption, to his experiences of corporal punishment at Catholic school. We discuss how these early experiences shaped him, and how therapy helped him to address some of the coping mechanisms and prejudices he had carried through childhood. He is open, vulnerable, deeply honest, and is the epitome positive masculinity.We also discuss being our therapists’ favourite clients, and James takes the liberty of dishing out some parenting advice to me! This conversation was political, hilarious, and deeply refreshing!#JAMESO'BRIEN #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madsadbadpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@madsadbadpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>&nbsp;/&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MadSadBadPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyEdit Producer: Pippa BrownEditor: Shane O'ByrneVideo: Jake Ji & Grisha NikolskyVideo Editor: Joel Sommazzi & Josh BennettOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanMarketing: Eleanore BamberExec Producer: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will MacdonaldSenior Exec Producer: Holly Newson<hr> Hosted on Acast.
