Episode Synopsis

In the first episode of the "What's New With" series, we catch up with our first podcast guest ever--Dr. Scott Parrott, an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media. When we talked to him over TWO YEARS AGO, he was working on several projects related to mental health--mental health and veterans, the stigma associated with mental health, and the representation of mental health in an entertainment context. In today's episode, we learn more about how those projects turned out plus we learn about his upcoming book with fellow Revise & Resubmit guest, Dr. Andy Billings. Their upcoming book: Head Game: Mental Health and Sport--will be released in the fall of 2022. In this book, we hear from 30 different Olympic and professional athletes who have all come forward with their mental health struggles and challenges, and they discuss the different pressures they face trying to remain at the competitive level in their respective sport. Scott has so much to say, and you certainly don't want to miss it!!
