The Hilarious World of Depression Podcast by John Moe

Check out American Public MediaвЂ™s podcast The Hilarious World of Depression Podcast. In this podcast host John Moe talks about clinical depression with some top comedians who have dealt with the illness. In the first episode he chats with Peter Sagal, host of NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, about his difficult divorce which led to a bout of depression. Sagal emphasizes the importance of distraction and not dwelling on oneвЂ™s emotional state when in depression. The next episode features the hilarious Maria Bamford as she talks about her lifelong experiences with depression, OCD, hypomania, unwanted thoughts, bipolar II, and much more. It doesnвЂ™t sound funny, but Bamford always seems to find a way to make it so. Future episodes feature Dick Cavett, Paul F. Tompkins, Andy Richter, and Jen Kirkman.
