In the February episode Stuart and William discussed the following question from Alex in Poland:</p> <p>“Not listened to your podcast in a long long time, but nice to see you are still going. I see I’ve got a lot of listening to catch up on. Could you discuss the serious subject of male suicide and its potential hidden threat?”</p> <p>That followup episode prompted a listener of the podcast to contact us as they expressed concerns about the handling of the sensitive topic of male suicide. The listener felt that the episode lacked sensitivity and could be harmful to those dealing with the discussed issues. </p> <p>In this bonus episode, Stuart and William, with the listener’s feedback in mind, reexamine the Taking His Life episode. As they always say in every episode, they’re not experts, but two people who aren’t afraid to express their opinions, and also to have those opinions challenged and changed.</p> <p>For this episode Stuart and William were also joined by Oxford University Crankstart student intern Suzi Darrington, who shares her thoughts on the original episodes, and how Stuart and William handled the subject.</p> <p>If you like to find out more information about this subject, here is a list of online resources that you may find helpful:</p> <ul> <li>Calm
