  • I love this podcast and the Facebook group! When the depression flares up I always have somewhere to turn to feel seen. John Moe is a great interviewer, and I feel like I've even picked up a few social skills just from listening!

  • Not quite therapy, but definitely therapeutic

    Listening to John’s shows hits just right when I’m fighting anxiety. I bounce between this one and Sleeping With Celebrities.

  • Steady place to land

    Consistent, steady, stable podcast, dives DEEP into mental health, from those who experience illness directly. Honest, hard and slowly helping to heal me every time I listen! Best thing: John Moe’s curiosity out about difficult and seemingly unsolvable topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Codependency and Covid on a Tiny Boat in the Middle of the Ocean, with Angela Harger-Thompson
Q: What role did creativity and storytelling play in your healing process?
Storytelling became a central therapeutic tool, culminating in a documentary and memoir that helped organize her experiences, provide catharsis, and offer guidance to others facing similar dynamics.
Codependency and Covid on a Tiny Boat in the Middle of the Ocean, with Angela Harger-Thompson
Q: How did the trauma of the initial rape influence the decisions you made later on the sailboat?
It created a strong dependence on the ex, which made leaving the relationship and the risky voyage much more complicated; healing and therapy gradually helped Angela recognize and break from those patterns.
Best of Depresh Mode: Hanif Abdurraqib on Cultivating a Support System, Depression, Anxiety, and Basketball
Q: What drew you to use basketball as a central metaphor in your life and work?
Basketball provided a flexible, concrete way to explore time, community, and belonging. It offered a language for the shared experiences of a neighborhood and the personal anxieties around aging and time, while also serving as a possible anchor in moments of uncertainty.
Robyn Hitchcock is Fundamentally Delusional, Welcomes Birds
Q: What would you tell someone who feels their mind runs in a delusional or highly imaginative channel—how to live with it and channel it into art?
Find the channel and keep it open; creativity comes from the blind spot and often arrives when you stop chasing it directly, letting ideas come to you rather than forcing them.
Robyn Hitchcock is Fundamentally Delusional, Welcomes Birds
Q: So I think I want to start this talking about Syd. How would you describe Syd Barrett to someone who has no idea who he was?
He had a long silence, a brief existence, and a profound influence; he co-founded Pink Floyd, then disappeared from public life, and his mystique grew because his late-period material was so strong that people kept seeking him out even after he stopped performing.
