We're honored to be joined by Justin Twell from Inside The Pylon for episode 48 of The Backyard Banter Podcast. Justin not only comes on to discuss his background as a Australian-based NFL fan and now writer, but primarily an article he posted on Jason Romano's blog detailing his struggles with and ultimate victory over depression. Listeners to the show know just how important this topic is to me, and Justin's story is one that everyone, but particularly those who have ever battled or are battling depression, needs to hear. Highlights from this episode include: - How Justin came to fall in love with the game of football while living in London. - What caused Justin to take a chance and submit his work to Mark Schoefield of Inside The Pylon. - The root and cause of Justin's severe episode of depression and how he almost took his life. - A detailed discussion on some of the misunderstood aspects of depression and what Justin would say to the version of himself set to end his life. - How Justin ended up as a trivia guest on one of his favorite shows, the Around the NFL Podcast.?
