In episode 274 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Thomas Mackintosh. Thomas is a Scottish journalist currently working for the BBC. The reason we checked back in with him is that he fronted a fantastic documentary called ‘My Alopecia And Me’, which documents his own, personal journey with alopecia, and interviews men and women from a range of backgrounds about their journeys with alopecia of varying degrees. The documentary is framed around a new drug which is claimed to help directly treat alopecia, and the interviewees provide their thoughts about whether they’d take it or not. In this episode we do a deep dive into the documentary, what Thomas learned about himself through the course of filming it, getting married and travelling around Europe following Scottish international football!As always, #itsokaytoventYou can watch 'My Alopecia And Me' on BBC iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0022wtxYou can listen to Part 1 of Thomas's journey here: https://soundcloud.com/venthelpuk/jcip-162-thomas-mackintoshSupport Us:Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpukGoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-vent-supp…ir-mental-healthMerchandise: www.redbubble.com/people/VentUK/shopMusic: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk
