Bob Dylan once said, "Life is Sad, Life is a bust/All you can do is do what you must". We believe that sentiment is true at one time or another for all of us, but as a society we don't always share the feelings, thoughts and actions that accompany these moments. Sad Times has a guest each episode and we talk with him or her about how sadness manifests within him or her; what type of behavior that may surface as a result from being sad. It is my firm belief that if we could just talk a bit more about these things, we might be able to better understand each other, and perhaps feel more content in day to day life.

Customer Reviews
Of the Essence
Amid the sea of podcasts full of people just talking, the stripped-down approach at work in SAD TIMES is never heavy-handed or intentionally guided by the pain of others. It’s just thoughtfully engaging conversation. Where it goes—sometimes a tragedy and sometimes a detasseling commiseration—follows the lead of the guest each week. For the most part, Kevin follows, and as a host, he is a mindful listener, full of conversational wit and anecdotal riffage. We’re just hangin out here, ya see. The only real agenda, if there is one at all, is to be open. And that’s pretty great, to say the least….
Love the Show
Been a follower for a while. Kevin does a great job on this show listening and asking the important questions. Feels organic and I think Kevin missed his calling as a therapist. Keep up the Great work.
Therapeutic and Honest!
What a breathe of fresh air to hear people being open, and airing out their issues in an effort to heal others. Listening to other people's experiences and coping mechanisms really puts some of my own personal issues in perspective and helps to think outside my own head.
