This insightful podcast continues its mission to bridge the gap between music and mental health, featuring in-depth conversations about mental health journeys with your favorite artists.

Going There with Dr. Mike tackles mental health stigmas head-on. Hosted by Dr. Mike Friedman, a licensed clinical psychologist, the show features candid conversations with a star-studded lineup of musicians including Jason Isbell, Gerard Way, Jewel, and many more.

For Season 5, we're shifting to a weekly release schedule, meaning Dr. Mike and his guests will be with listeners for even more of the year. The new season of Going There kicks off May 7th, with early guests including Yungblud, JXDN, Marcus King, Lumineers’ Jeremiah Fraites and more.
