Restrictions due to COVID and uncertainty around Christmas are a concern for many. On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast, Ashna Hurynag talks to Mickey Carroll, one of our digital producers, and Hope Virgo – who founded the campaign #dumpthescales – as they share their own personal journeys.If you are affected by this story and want to talk to someone, you can call Beat for support on 0808 801 0677 or visit the website.Daily podcast team:Podcast producer - Annie JoycePodcast producer - Nicola EyersPodcast producer – Emma Rae Woodhouse Interviews producer - Oli FosterArchive - Simon WindsorMusic - Steven Wheeler
