The groundbreaking, award-winning mental health podcast is under new ownership after six years ago. Old ownership, really, since it's now run by original host John Moe. Join John for new and classic content for frank, moving, and, yes, funny conversations with important artists who have dealt with depression and other mental health conditions. Maria Bamford, Paul F. Tompkins, Andy Richter, Open Mike Eagle, Daryl DMC McDaniels, Gary Gulman, and more. The Hilarious World of Depression is not medical treatment and should not be seen as a substitute for therapy or medication. But it is a chance to feel less alone. The Hilarious World of Depression (THWoD) was co-created by American Public Media with support from Health Partners.
