Hello, my name is Christopher Leech (aka Chimp195) and I host Psyched To Be With You, a Blind Psyche podcast – a show chatting to people about who they are, what they do, but most importantly why they do it. I’m a PhD Researcher looking at video games and student mental health. I’m a person with Albinism which means I’m visually impaired/legally blind. Alongside my PhD and this podcast, I stream weekly on Twitch, feel free to use the link below to check out my content and social links. Links: https://linktr.ee/BlindPsyche
