Mel Bampton Presents...How Human
This podcast is all about exploring what it means to be human. What traits, qualities and experiences we share, no matter how different we are and in searching for and celebrating our differences, finding our similarities.
Do you ever find yourself plagued with uncertainty? Paralysed by self-doubt? Are you ever confused about what to do, how to behave, what to say or even what to feel? Being human is weird. It comes with no instruction manual, it’s riddled with contradictions and as we age we seem to get less and more wise, just when we think we’ve figured something out, everything changes, again.
This podcast is that missing handbook - in which we go deeper than just the details of the stories and by looking through different lenses, we find the things that truly make us…human.
My name is Mel Bampton, I’m a presenter, a speaker, an author and a therapist and in this series I’m bringing all those things together to help you agonise a little less by understanding a little more the things that are fundamentals, not flaws, of what it means to be one of this bizarre and curious species.
This is the podcast where you learn to become a little kinder to yourself by first and foremost understanding what you fundamentally are.

What Is It About Booze with Jenny Valentish
What is the correlation between alcohol patterns and extreme sports?
What part does self-identity play in trying to kick a harmful booze habit?
And when you do go sober and you’re faced with the clarity of your own historical dickhead behaviour, how do you balance the books and feel not just accepting of who you were but good about yourself going forward?
In this episode, we are focusing on one of the most culturally accepted and statistically harmful substances of all time – alcohol. A known grade 1 carcinogen, the number one aggravating factor in violent assaults and partner homicide, socially accepted and legal.
Why does it get it’s hooks so deep in so many of us and why is it so hard to extract from our lives, long after it’s begun to cause us – and those around us – harm?
Jenny Valentish, is creator and host of the podcast Spirit Levels and author of the fiction Cherry Bomb, her brilliant memoir Woman Of Substances and her guidebook to understanding extreme recreational choices, Everything Harder Than Everyone Else.
