The Episodes

I really enjoy The Episodes .They help me to understand not only what it’s like to cope with depression and mania from the viewpoint of the person with Bi-Polar but also the rippling effects they have on those close to that person. These very honest and transparent conversations which touch on some very difficult emotions on an often deep level are at times strangely humorous and light-hearted. Matt and his guests openly share stories of their experiences and shed some light on what they have learned from things they could have handled better for lack of understanding. We have a lot to learn about mental illness and this podcast offers some insight, support and hope. It feels like we’re part of a personal conversation between friends, around Matt’s dini ng room table. But we are all part of it in a way. We learn stuff and we laugh at some funny stories that happened amidst some of the hardest parts of life…together.

thank you, matt, for your vulnerability and openness when discussing such hard, fragile topics. a podcast in this format is so needed in the mental health space to bring awareness, to normalize behaviors that would otherwise be stigmatized and disregarded and to help others not feel so alone. such interesting, thought provoking convos. love this pod!

never heard anything like this - the episode w the doctor was a bit mind blowing lol

Amazing podcast!! It’s hard to find something that combines knowledge and awareness with comedy. Its not too dark or depressing. It helps humanize, normalize and make light of situations that can feel incredibly heavy when you’re dealing with them all alone. It’s informative without being preachy and it’s heartfelt without being corny. I’m excited to keep listening and learning along with Matt and his guests.
