The Berlin Patient
In 2010 Joel and his girlfriend moved from Sydney to Berlin. After a month she left him and flew back home to be with a tattooed barista who was in a band. To try and win her back, he sent her over 90 minutes of audio recordings that contained horrendous anecdotes, Hollywood cliches and he even passed off Pearl Jam lyrics as his own. He recently found these files and instead of hiding the shame, he sat down with some friends, comedians and a therapist to analyse the lies, depression and desperation that a break up brings.

Great journey of a breakup and it's nice to experience honesty for once, especially coming from a man. I loved the therapist episode and also the French novalists take on love, would listen to those both again.
thumbs down

self obsessed and boring from the outset
Hilarious and Cringeworthy

This podcast is amazing. I have binge listened to the entire series to date (7 episodes) today. I love the honesty, the self reflection and the conversations between Joel and his friends reflecting on Joel's behaviour after his breakup. Joel's actions after his breakup, and the commentary throughout the podcast are cringeworthy and hilarious all at the same time. I love the concept and the execution of this podcast.
Good concept, poorly executed.

I just love this idea and it really has everything going for it but I would've really liked to hear more moments and less commentary. It's completely and utterly self-indulgent to spend so much time dissecting a 10 second bit and hearing from so many different comedians. If you want to buff out an episode, why not ask the comedians about their experiences? What lengths did they go to in order to win a girl/guy back? Perhaps my expectations were too high simply based off the concept.
