Your ears. Our elves.
Since 2014, the Mental Elf has been venturing deep into the research literature so you don’t have to, and then talking about what we found with the experts who produced it. With nearly 1,000 conversations recorded, there’s a good chance we’ve already covered what’s keeping you up at night.
Below you’ll find some of our most popular episodes from recent years. Most follow a simple format: one expert, one topic, one genuinely useful conversation. No jargon, no waffle; just the evidence, explained by the people doing the work. Pop us in your earphones on the commute and let the elves do the reading for you.
We also produce dedicated podcast series that go deeper on a single theme. Recent series include the ReSET School Mental Health podcast, and Nurture-U Student Mental Health podcast. Our shows bring together researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience to explore the mental health topics that really matter.
