i asked lewis to support me in front of 220 people in edinburgh and he paid me back a few years later by asking me to support him in front of 8000. that's the kind of guy he is, i'm forever in this bloke's debt. one of the nicest to ever do it, thanks for another mention my man, incredibly kind of you x

There’s nothing I love more than celebrities / musicians / athletes who are open and act like people, and aren’t afraid to swear and speak their heart.

The most Genuine, down to earth guy. The kinda bloke you want to be your best mate. Great questions Steven, an awesome episode.

I know Lewis will never see this but I wish he could know how much everyone loves him and his incredible down to earth and genuine personality. I want to give him a big hug and tell him he's adored the world over, what a legend.

I love how fame hasn't changed him. He is still humble and human. He is literally one of the most talented singers ever. You feel his songs not just hear them. Very talented.

I love how Lewis says 'we' all the time. A true testament to him and his team. How lovely and always so humble

Watching this interview after this weekend's moving performance and his announcement really hits differently. What a remarkable human. So brave. Thank you for the music, Lewis. You've given so much of yourself to us it's time for you. I hope you heal.

This is THE BEST interview i have ever seen. The interviewer’s questions & Lewis’ honest answers has genuinely made this the most enjoyable and easiest to listen to interviews I have ever experienced. Congrats to you both!

Revisited this after Glastonbury, and I wish nothing but good things for Lewis his generosity of spirit and humanity just pour out of him , he’s so honest and open it’s hard not to love him as an artist and human being. I hope he finds help and is able to come to terms with his health issues and can find peace and a place where he’s able to manage them and continue it make great music and entertain the wold with his talents. All the best mate .

This is someone who oozes authenticity, which is something no one can give you or take away.

YES!!! It's very very scottish to be self deprecating in a humorous way. We are very rarely offended by anything. We know the difference between banter and actual hate. A lot of it is also protection. The way he described taking the power away from people by shitting on yourself first.

What Lewis might not realise is that this may have been his best therapy session to date.

I’m so glad Lewis is talking about anxiety in depth. The dizziness and hypochondriac thing is my life. I’ve developed agoraphobia purely because of the dizziness that comes with my anxiety. I’m too scared to leave the house because I get dizzy, then I tell myself it’s just anxiety, but like Lewis said.. what if it isn’t and I actually do pass out? It’s a vicious cycle and I’m tired of it. The hypochondriac thing too.. I won’t even use a new shampoo because my mind can convince me that I’ll take a reaction to it and maybe die. It sounds so ridiculous but anxiety is awful but I’m so glad I’m not alone after hearing Lewis talking about his anxiety.

I am actually in tears ... "Which parent are they trying to cheer up?" It's like a light bulb has turned on in my head ... That's me and my story

Criminally underrated podcast. The hypochondria stuff is so relatable and made me realize a few things I hadn’t noticed within myself.

Lewis is so honest it is amazing! He does not realize how many people he has helped through his songs, honesty and humor. The fact that he was happy to get his Tourette’s diagnosis is amazing. I admire that since I worked with children with Tourette’s and I know how hard it is. Depression has been hard for me since Covid. I lost my mom, dad, father in law, aunt, and 4 friends. Lewis’ music always me to get my emotions out.

this man deserves all the success, hes so fun and hilarious. a genuine dude!

I’m only ten minutes in and I’m already finding this so emotional to watch. Anyone else? What a brave, self-aware man Lewis is. Terrific interview so far!

Such a genuine human with the cosiest Scottish accent to listen to.. I also suffer with quite severe anxiety at times and it's really wonderful (liberating even) to see that more and more of us are talking about it openly and sharing learnings/ experiences. Nice one Lewis pal 🧡

I'm not a massive fan of Lewis' music / genre but I am a huge fan of his personality. Complete legend and good to see famous people being themselves rather than pretentious arseholes!

My 37 year old Son has crippling anxiety and panic attacks,I recently started having them at 62 they are horrible and I thank you Lewis for your authenticity and your music🇨🇦🕉❤️

I like that he recognizes what hard work is (talking about his parents who go to work 5 days a week) and doesn't play into the false illusion of meritocracy most celebrities play into.

Thankyou. I’m 53 and lost my Dad at 15 and had never thought of the impact that my unconscious behaviour had impacted on my son. This raw, emotional, true state of Lewis has helped me understand what I never said and what my son has never said to me. Thank you again its been a tremendous help to understand how Ive impacted my son. I really hope Lewis understands how much of a positive impact he’s had, even on an old lady like me! My son is 21 and has bad anxiety and is so negative and now I understand why. Thank You again to both of you - x

Thank you so much for having Lewis on and asking the questions you asked him. A joy to listen to. Such a down to earth young man.

How can you not like this guy? I mean you can hâte the music and his singing but he really looks like a nice guy to be around

I have been going through some horrific anxiety that’s eerily similar to what Lewis talks about here. Thinking you’re Ill or something is wrong with me when it’s all in my head. Thanks Lewis

It’s refreshing to see a young man so open about anxiety. Lewis is a talented songwriter and performer, but clearly so hard on himself. I hope he finds a way to calm the inner demons. Like Stephen, I think there’s more great things to come from Lewis. Great interviewing Stephen, you have a knack at asking the most interesting questions.

Such a beautiful open interview. As a 49 year woman who was diagnosed with complex childhood trauma, ptsd and hypochondria, I relate to Lewis experience as a child where you see your mum in pain and it somehow develops into becoming the clown in the family or for friends. I manage to find humour in most situations and love making people laugh, but the down side is when you’re alone and how drained you feel and fearful that something bad is about to happen every second of each day. People would never guess I have all these conditions and it’s definitely a self coping mechanism.

One of the most honest and relatable interviews I’ve ever watched, what an amazing young man Lewis is.

The most comedic, genuine, heartfelt, eye opening , relatable and inspirational video/podcast/interview I’ve probably ever watched ❤️❤️

Absolutely loved this interview, think it's the only one I've watched where Steven is relaxed, natural and I heard him belly laughing!! Lewis Capaldi is talented beyond doubt, but what comes across is his genuine nature, his ability to show his true self, thank you

Hearing that lewis literally has the same anxiety’s as me has made me realise that it can happen to anybody and that I’m not alone. So thank you! Thank you for talking about this and making people realise they’re not alone x

One of the best, most down to earth and real interviews I've listened to. I hope he goes on to defeat all his demons and enjoy a happy life.

This wasn’t what I was expecting but in a really good way. I think it’s rare to see Lewis in this way, I have a lot of respect for him after hearing some of his stories. He seems like a down to earth guy that you could imagine chatting to in the local 😂

I am only 15 minutes in and I am so intrigued by this remarkably honest, genuine, and cool young man. And I feel so ridiculous because I have heard his name before but couldn’t make a connection so I look him up and I see that he is the guy that sings the song that literally brings tears to my eyes when I am driving listening to the radio… I am also loving the way he can articulate the anxiety I feel so well. Loving this podcast

Lewis, I think your self knowledge, self awareness and high emotional intelligence with such an open heart is key to your authenticity, sincerity and success. Please write a book about your journey! An excellent interview Steven. Thank you to both of you.

This is the perfect conversation around anxiety and mental health. Thank you lewis for sharing this with us ❤

I’ve never related to someone so much in regards to the self deprecating stuff. It’s a coping mechanism so it stops people saying the bad stuff about you and hurting you because you point out you already know about it

This is the purest and most honest interview I've ever seen. I know Lewis since 2018, met him several times and I am crying watching this interview. Lewis just deserves the whole world and I wish I could hug him right now ❤️

The fact that he walks into pubs and thinks people don’t like him is crazy. I’ve not spoken to one person who doesn’t think he’s immediately likeable, hilarious and down to earth. I’ve been to see him live and it was incredible, and his personality is what found it’s way to me before his music did. The music is just an added bonus 😂

What a breath of fucking fresh air...a truly human man, not boring us to death about goals and making money...he's a rare gem. Enjoyed listening to him.

He is so open and honest. It’s refreshing…but also heartbreaking. Wishing him health and happiness and peace.

lewis is so genuine and so open hearted. he is definitely someone that is needed in the music community

I think this could possibly be my most favorite interview. Heartfelt. Great conversations. Mental health is so important and you two kept it 100% ❤

I can't imagine having my anxiety and also being a superstar, Lewis was mega at one point and wow hats off to you mate 👏 brilliant insight into how even the most talented special people are ultimately only human, I think people forget that quite a lot

My son lost his dad when he was 4. The impact was so great that he developed ocd and would wash his hands till they were red with rashes. He couldn’t get dirty. Wouldn’t step in water or dirt cause he couldn’t get his shoes dirty. If he dropped something on his shirt while eating he would have to change immediately. And of course what Lewis said about locking the door. He would always start asking me if I had locked the door. He’s 11 now and been in therapy for years but still struggles with anxiety and depression and self image. Thank you Lewis for being you and showing kids like him it’s okay to just be who you are and the world will embrace you as long as you do it from a genuine place ❤ Sincerely - a mom

Lewis, the moment when you could no longer sing, and your supporters helped you out, has to be one of the MOST amazing moments I have ever seen. It makes me cry every time. You are loved!

Lewis is such a nice person. All the negative self talk and self flagellation is so common in people with anxiety. Cause or effect? Panic attacks are so exhausting. One of the great things about him is he is so open, and feels like a friend. He is one of life gorgeous people.

I'm fairly confident in saying that this is my favourite ever interview

I so relate to Lewis Capaldi. My 1st memory as a child ( after finding my dad's post-suicide body at 4) was at the age of 7, sitting in my room doing homework. Our neighbors kids were playing outside, and I distinctly remember thinking 'how nice to hear kids laughing' I suffer from anxiety, PTSD and survivor's guilt. The past two years of my life was spent in a highly functioning fugue state, and most days are spent idealistic death/dying. Despite this, I have held highly paid management positions, and completely addicted to various prescription psychiatric drugs. I am exhausted more often than not, but Lewis, as a youngster, gives me hope. ❤

I’ve loved lewis’ music since his first few songs came out years ago. The joy to find out he’s an absolute legend also is unparalleled 😂

I must say, the intro hook for this podcast was incredibly well done. The fact that you branded it as an exclusive with "questions no one has ever asked before" to immediately use a line from his new song he's promoting to answer one of the deepest questions you asked him this whole episode...I mean...10/10

Lewis is such a true soul. A beautiful beautiful human. And Steve, you are brilliant mate! Never seen an interviewer like this before and it's so refreshing 💙

Aww Lewis, I just feel giving you a hug mate! Having worked with bands at grassroots level for years, I feel like once a band, musician etc moves up to the next level, the industry almost takes away that organic approach to the craft that I've seen all the artists I worked with in the past get a real buzz from and it almost takes away from the joy. It just makes me think of Prince and George Michael just wanting that creative freedom. Perhaps the music industry needs to reassess it's approach taking into account the mental health impacts that their current approach has on artists.

First time I’m hearing about someone talk about the sort of scottish humour and self deprecating/ defeatist mindset!! It’s a real thing and growing up here I never noticed how different it was until I moved away. I love it but it must actually be quite damaging to the psyche.

I relate to his anxiety so much it's unbelievable he's such an inspiring person and so down to earth we need to protect this man at all costs ❤️

What an absolute legend. I have so much respect for this lad 👍👍 As someone who suffers with anxiety I relate to a lot of his struggle. Good on him for being so open!

Live about 20 minutes away from the lad. Knew the name, knew the face, never heard any tunes... usual closed mindedness regarding "pop music". Then watched the lads Netflix doc and am completely bowled over. Would love to jam with him some day.

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity just be human. Being open and explaining anxiety down to a T too! It shows he is human he struggled too, my respect for this man has skyrocketed. So humble regardless of his career. He’s a lovely human being 💜

I love how much Steven was laughing and smiling in this conversation. The whole thing just had a way more relaxed vibe than other episodes. I also love that this was filmed before they installed the black wall lamps next to the guests head, they are so distracting. And of course, Lewis was super relatable, interesting and funny.

I absolutely loved this. Talking about real things and seeing Lewis in a different light what an amazing guy to open up about anxiety and counselling. You’re right he has helped many people with being genuine and authentic.

Lewis is a favourite person of mine. This was great. Thank you for pointing out how many years of playing and practicing it took Lewis to become an “instant success.” 💖

How honest and genuine,he’s so bloody talented and just totally his humble self,fair play Lewis 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 carry on being you ❤

One of your best interviews. Just like two mates having an amazing chat. So great to be so open about anxiety and it’s terrible effects on people. Thank you so much.

Lewis Capaldi is a great Legend - one of the people that will be written in history for Decades. Absolute superstar inside and outside

He's an absolute diamond! As someone who always thinks people don't like me it's horrible ,Lewis you an an absolute gem ,stay real ,stay you ❤️

Lewis is so down to earth, type of bloke you would say hey he’s my next door neighbour but also so talented. Just seems such a genuine guy and a great sense of humour. From first generation Aussie with Irish parents. Hi lewis from another Celtic. You are loved for your talent and your humility and honesty.

Respect to Lewis Capaldi for being so open and honest he is a top G!!!

So talented, down to earth and funny ! I absolutely loved this interview ❤ we need more Lewis Capaldi in this world 🌎

I'm 16 minutes in and everything he has said in regards to anxiety, hypochondria and parent pleasing is like listening to myself 10 years ago. Anxiety is no laughing matter! Didn't think I could have any more respect for him, what a beautiful human.

i wish we had more interviews like this. just pure honest and vulnerable. love it

What a lovely and genuine guy. I can relate so well with his description of being an anxious kid with hypochondriac tendencies. Later on in life it morphed into depression and anxiety. When in an anxious phase, doing breathing exercises helps. Also learning about what happens in the body when anxiety kicks in, ie the adrenalin rush and knowing that it eventually passes. Plus, read / watch what Joe Dispenza has to say about the power of the mind.

We're so lucky to listen in on these conversations with extraordinary people and be able to learn from them! Thanks Steve & Lewis ✨✨

Wow, what an interview, what an interviewer! You really opened Lewis up, with your gentle way, voice, and questions,………Lewis keep chasing the answers on yourself and to your help your health and mental health, because we the common people, and us filled with anxiety, need someone like you to put into words in a song how we feel. Scotland loves you, listening to you speak is like myself trying to explain to others how I feel and where my heads at. Anxiety is no joke 😢 it affects all areas of your life, so much so that I question how people think about me. I take panic attacks a lot 😢😢😢 thank you 🙏🏼 both for this little gem.

I’ve heard about you and I’m 65. I listen to you everyday. Love your voice. Well done for your bravery talking about your anxiety and Tourette’s.

I absolutely love how Lewis is so relatable and so real. Such a genuine soul, what a lovely person.

Steven this is truly the best podcast out there right now. You deserve greatness!!

I absolutely love this man and really appreciate him talking about mental health, especially being a man. So refreshing. I wish him all the best, he deserves all the success he's had.

This is quickly becoming my favourite podcast ever. I loved this interview and how Lewis was able to be so open. Thanks!

This interview just makes me love him even more! A completely honest human being! I love this interview! Real. Raw. Honest. Now a fan and always will be. ❤❤❤❤❤

Lewis.... Thank you for being so open about anxiety & mental health 🖤

Certain points felt like I'm not alone ie: hypercondriact and anxiety. Lewis is 100% a normal guy. I adore his honesty

Huuuge massive well done to Lewis on speaking openly and confidently about his mental health, inspiring other men and letting them know it’s ok to talk. Especially in a time where the male suicide rate is so high.

I love him, so sorry he experiences so much anxiety but hope he knows his music is so loved and we love him playing live!

He is so amazingly Scottish- and the not taking offence to things is so spot on! ❤

My favourite DOAC and I've loved many. Best interview! I may be biased as a Glaswegian but I think it was just brilliant

I am taken back. As a child I was very anxious due to my family set up. Through my early twenties I always knew I had bad anxiety but I masked it with alcohol. Until early in covid I started having severe panic attacks . some times several a day and I was convinced I had a heart defect and I was convinced I was having a heart attack every time and this happened every day for 6 months . I also went and had extensive checks on my chest and heart, I could tell then the doctors and nurses were looking at me like what a fruit loop. After realising slowly it was in my head and after many therapy sessions I have been able to move forward and be able to keep at bay and control The intrusive thoughts . I still have anxious thoughts and sometimes overwhelming thoughts but being self aware and being open to new methods around the way you construct and formulate your thoughts and self image will always be welcomed. Great podcast and thank you Lewis for being honest , embarrassingly it was only until I just watched this I thought I was insane and the only one stupidly to have this thought process which again is ridiculous but very helpful. Cheers lads Brads

So vulnerable so genuine! Best thing I’ve watched in a long long time! Such a valuable conversation for so many!

Not finished listening yet but really enjoying this interview. Always enjoyed Lewis Capaldi being interviewed but he seems really comfortable here. He comes across really genuine.

Very smart, genuine, introspective guy. No surprise he comes out with brilliant music.

Lewis comes across so well, you can tell he's grateful for being where he is and that's a mindset that will likely never change, down to earth and a proper inspiration to the future generations.

It’s so refreshing to see a mega pop star such as Lewis being open and honest about his life and not portraying his funny side all the time. This side of him is amazing to watch and is so relatable. Keep it up my man!

Lewis is such a lovely genuine guy and incredibly talented. Really enjoying this one 🥰 I can relate to the anxiety due to parental influence. My Dad has always been a catastrophiser too always thinking of the worst elaborate scenario before it even happens which has passed to me. Even being aware of it i struggle to stop it. I struggle with health anxiety similarly too although i think this was offset by my son having an undiagnosed rare disease for 6 months with no health professionals taking my concerns seriously. Once he was diagnosed they apologised to me and said it is a leading cause of SIDS which sent me into a spiral completely unhelpful i worry for myself and everyone around me constantly. It can be truly exhausting. So glad Lewis has been getting help for the struggles he has. Great guy 💖

Lewis is such a wonderful man, he is so genuine.❤

Lewis is the absolute double of my son who is 21 so I have a very special place in my heart for Lewis! His music is amazing and his personality is golden! So much love for that young man ❤️

Genuinely brilliant interview, I wish that the people who were successful and who I idolised as a youngster were as open as this. I feel that it would have helped with my confidence and my self doubt.

This is probably my favourite episode. Lewis Capaldi is actually so relatable, so many things he said I though “oh yeah that makes sense in my life too”. Great interview 👏🏼

Such a down to earth guy. A fantastic interview. Well done Lewis and Stephen, genuinely inspired.

I adore Lewis and his honesty. Good interview!
