Richard Hammond joins Gabby this week to talk about the “pale stale male” and what he’s doing to avoid becoming one! The former <em>Top Gear </em>presenter warns of the dangers of living in an echo chamber when you get to this stage of life, and why he’s hoping his new podcast (<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1JRR7EeuEWBwYzPurwsIUo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Who We Are Now</em></a>) might contribute to more mentally healthy middle aged men. They also discuss whether his approach to risk has changed following two serious car accidents, one of which resulted in a brain injury and left him in a coma. Richard also shares his thoughts on the importance of male friendships; how exercise becomes an act of self care as you get older; and why there will always be a need for a show like <em>Top Gear</em>.
