Mark is joined by Dr Benji Waterhouse – NHS psychiatrist, comedian and best-selling author – for a special extended interview about mental health.   Benji's book 'You Don't Have To Be Mad To Work Here' is a darkly funny account of life as a front-line NHS doctor specialising in psychiatry. In it, he talks about the patients he has encountered, from the 45 year-old man with psychosis who believed he was a werewolf, to the woman who arrived at his hospital in a wedding dress insisting she was getting married to Harry Styles.   His conversation with Mark also covers our changing attitudes to mental health – and asks how patients can get the care they need when psychiatry is so desperately lacking in staff and hospital beds. It's a must-hear interview!   Get ad-free extended episodes, early access and exclusive content on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wtfisgoingonpod   Follow What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel on Twitter @wtfisgoingonpod   Follow Mark Steel @mrmarksteel   Follow Dr Benji Waterhouse @doctor_benji   And visit our website www.whatthefisgoingonpodcast.co.uk for more information.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark is joined by award-winning journalist Ramita Navai for a special extended interview about the Middle East. From Israel's war crimes in Gaza, to life under the Taliban, and the 'Women, Life, Freedom' movement in Iran.   Informed, entertaining and shocking, subjects range from the Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi, currently sentenced to death by the regime – to the hackers who filmed a pro-Iranian regime journalist masturbating to porn in his office.   As a British-Iranian journalist, Ramita has won an Emmy and other awards for documentaries such as Afghanistan Undercover, ISIS and the Battle for Iraq, Undercover Syria, and Breaking Into Israel.   If you want to understand What The F*** Is Going On in the Middle East, this is the episode for you.    Get ad-free extended episodes, early access and exclusive content on Patreon:   https://www.patreon.com/wtfisgoingonpod   Follow What The F*** Is Going On? with Mark Steel on Twitter @wtfisgoingonpod   Follow Mark Steel @mrmarksteel   Follow Ramita Navai @ramitanavai   And visit our website www.whatthefisgoingonpodcast.co.uk for more information.   Learn more about your ad choices.
