This is a must-hear series

I love comedians in general, and Susan Calman in particular. Having both depression and anxiety, I was super excited to learn of this mashup kind of podcast. I can honestly say it’s inspired me to get honest and vocal and changed my life in a very real way. Thank you to everyone involved for producing this gem. I’m ready for more!

Lovely, funny, honest, insightful

Susan Calman is a lovely, funny woman who speaks to other comedians about their mutual experiences with mental illness, their work in comedy, and how these relate to each other. They cover serious topics, but the show is really funny and entertaining. It's like listening to a conversation between two naturally funny and quirky friends who talk about things that really matter.
