It’s episode 216 with Matt Ottley, writer, artist, musician and all round polymath, talking about the incredible book, film and music for his project The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness. Matt is a fascinating guest and we talk about how his previous mental health issues, art, Synaethesia and music feed into his work, why he believes ‘good enough’ is rarely good enough and we’ll find out about the Books That Saved His Life.
