The Cutting Mat Podcast

We believe in simply enjoying our hobbies. Whether it's scale modeling, miniatures, toys, wargaming, or anything else. Our unique angle intertwines hobby discussions with mental health. All three of us grapple with various mental health issues, and we openly share our experiences. Both positive and negative. As we navigate these challenges alongside our hobbies. Our community has steadily grown. And we're immensely thankful for the support throughout the years and the continued support. Join us in embracing imperfection and let's just do it badly!
