A show about clinical depression... with laughs‽

December 13, 2016 12:41 PM

The Hilarious World of Depression. A new podcast with host John Moe that focuses on talking to funny people who have dealt depression. Its first full episode, Peter Sagal Opens Up, was released yesterday and features guest Peter Sagal (host of NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me) talking about his depression publicly for the first time.

And here I thought Peter Sagal was just a smug, hacky a-hole.^* Love me some Andy Richter, though.

* On preview: I still think that.

I never thought I'd have two podcasts devoted to depression/mental illness in my feed. Now this, as well as the long-running Mental Illness Happy Hour.

Just listened to the first episode and it has already given me some grist for my own mill WRT Distracting vs. Ruminating behaviors.

It's tragically ironic that Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me tends to be the response when you want to talk about depression and mental problems in general.
