Monsoon boss Peter Simon, Car-share clubs, Men's mental health

Available for over a year

Fashion retailer Monsoon was brought out of administration this month, by the founder and chairman Peter Simon. He hopes to save half of the existing 230 stores. He tells us about the brand's history, and his plans for the company's future. Peer to peer car share clubs say they're seeing more bookings than ever before. The model allows you to make your own car available to rent, or to pay to use someone else's car near you. Car share companies say they've had increased members and bookings since lockdown began to ease, as people look to use cars instead of public transport. In a recent survey of 2,000 men by Yougov, four in ten said lockdown has had a negative impact on their mental health. Some men's talking groups have said they've gained new members during this period. Groups that used to meet face to face have now moved to online chats, and some think that members now have a bit more time and freedom to access their services. We speak to some men who participate in regular online conversations about mental health. Presented by Winifred Robinson. Produced by Beatrice Pickup.
