41:20|After the year we've all just had, we wanted to give you a taster of our newest podcast. It's a brand new series of Mad World with Bryony Gordon - and if you liked If I Can Do It, we think you'll like this too.Each episode features an intimate conversation about mental health with guests from household names to nurses on the frontline, because mental health deserves to be talked about.In a sea of beauty hacks, home inspo and brunch snaps, Bryony Gordon's first guest of this new series of Mad World might seem an unlikely Instagram star. But artist Charlie Mackesy’s poignant and heartfelt illustrations have taken the platform by storm - and have earned him over a million followers.His debut book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, is billed as a vehicle for ‘hope in uncertain times’, and after a year of true uncertainty, he tells The Telegraph's Bryony Gordon that giving that glimmer of hope to his readers is worth more than any plaudits.Plus Charlie talks about how he’s struggling to feel connected to others, why he sees drawing as a form of therapy, and how grief for a lost friend reared its head in an unusual form as a teenager. And if the conversation doesn't leave you feeling just that little bit calmer, the soothing sounds of nature outside Charlie's barn certainly will.To hear future episodes, search 'Mad World' in your preferred podcast app or click this link: www.playpodca.st/madworldFor 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/madworld |See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Mad World, with Katy and Natalie
