Shaznay Lewis and Richard Ayoade

Marking Mental Health Awareness Week, Shaznay Lewis and Richard Ayoade discuss the songs which have helped them through challenging or significant moments in their lives.

In a new three-part series for Radio 2 to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, six well-known guests join Edith to discuss the songs which have helped them through challenging or significant moments in their lives - or that they turn to when they simply need a lift. In doing so, we explore how music has the power to comfort, heal and inspire us all - and the positive impact it can have on our wellbeing.

In this episode, Shaznay Lewis from All Saints and writer, director and actor Richard Ayoade share their selections. Shaznay picks tunes by Bob Marley, George Michael, D'Angelo among others, while Richard's choices include Nirvana, The Strokes and The Pixies. Edith also reveals two songs which are of special significance to her.
