“Armed with a microphone in one hand and a bow in the other, cellist Hattie Butterworth and her podcast co-host are growing a new community by discussing mental health issues with fellow young musicians, as Hattie Fisk investigates.”

We were also cover stars of JESTA Magazine

“Their aim is to share the stories of musicians, and those that work in the arts/creative industries. Both through the podcast and blog they hope to connect to anyone who may be struggling, in whatever capacity, or those who are simply curious! This may be musicians with depression and mental illness, money struggles, failure, performance injury, loneliness and more. TMDTA will talk about anything that needs to be heard, without exception.”
