Dr. Steve Ellen: A Side

My Joint: Conversations about cannabis with Rachel Payne MP

Show Notes

On the A Side this week, Rachel talks to Dr. Steve Ellen, psychiatrist, professor, author, and, let’s be honest, a bit of a bloody legend. He’s worked everywhere from cancer wards - to transplant units - to HIV clinics.

Steve co-wrote Mental - a book that helps people actually keep their mental health - and he’s a regular in the media — where he somehow manages to make psychiatry sound fun.

Put simply: he’s the kind of bloke you’d trust with your brain, your heart, and maybe even your Netflix password.
