My (late) podcast Mad Chat was about our pop culture’s messages to do with madness and mental health.

It was co-created by me and audio producer Lee Mengistu.

We made a 10-episode pilot season … back in 2019. My voice being an octave lower these days notwithstanding, I think the show’s held up well!

Right now the episodes are available (only) on YouTube.

Listen to our first episode or the show’s trailer (below). They’re unavailable everywhere else for the time being (hopefully only temporary).

For much more about Mad Chat, including episode descriptions, guest bios, transcripts, and a press kit, visit the show’s site.
